Linmodem questions...
 
Ok, I have a Linmodem (Winmodem working in Linux), and after trial and error over and over again, I got the drivers to work and the modem works..... sorta...

I can dial in one time. If I try it again, the computer absolutely locks (the only things happening are the three lights on my keyboard blinking endlessly)

The modem won't even be found if I don't run insmod pctel and insmod ptserial every time the computer starts up. I have a script that will run them both, but I don't know how to make it run automatically. Not only that, but I made the script executable (chmod 700) from root and don't know how to give other users access to execute it.

Does anybody have any suggestions to any of these problems?
All help and comments are appreciated! :D

P.S. I almost forgot. I read the FAQ about hardware posts and forgot to include /sbin/lspci

From http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/pcte...ctel-0.9.6/FAQ
Quote:

If you want to enable autoloading of the modules,
the following lines in /etc/modules.conf would suffice:

# for pctel modem
alias char-major-62 ptserial
below ptserial pctel
# country code for pctel modem
options ptserial country_code=13

Make sure, you run "depmod -a" after you changed your /etc/modules.conf.
As for enabling it for a non-root user, I found this out, but I can't find it again. There's quite a bit of stuff on the net though.
