I tried with Kinternet, KPPP and Networkmanager with dialout without results. Also /usr/sbin/smpppd-icfg and 'chmod 777 /usr/sbin/pppd' and others things, ...

Kinternet returns:

Code:

SuSE Meta pppd (smpppd-ifcfg), Version 1.59 on mydesktop.

Status is: disconnected

trying to connect to smpppd

connect to smpppd

Status is: disconnected

Status is: connecting

Status is: disconnected

pppd[0] died: pppd options error (exit code 2)

Which is the device by defect for the modem? /dev/modem, /dev/ttySn or /dev/ttyACMn? (n=0-9)

Someone can tell me as to work a modem connection?

Thanks.

Is this an external or internal modem? If it is internal go to terminal and as root type "lspci" and post the results. If it is an external modem post the make and model number.

If the modem is internal, the only successful way I've had is by using modems with a Conexant chipset, then use a Linuxant driver (provides Linux drivers for Conexant chipsets).

Yes, is a internal modem with Conexant chipset.

Ready. I have installed the driver from www.linuxant.com but this has payment license to enjoy FAX and full speed.

Not exist more alternatives?

hsfconfig --info:

Code:

Conexant HSF softmodem driver, version 7.68.00.04full

License owner and key data must EXACTLY match the information respectively

provided to and by Linuxant. Otherwise, license status will remain "FREE"!

Full support solved, was thinking in "GPL mode" :D

Thank you for telling us and I am glad you solved the problem

At least you got your Conexant modem working. I like Linuxant, they are helping more people be able to fully transition to Linux.
As for me, I have an Agere LT Winmodem. This'll be fun. :rolleyes:

Speaking of which, of these downloads, which one is suitable for a Kubuntu 7.10 non-64 bit OS?

3daurora you need to post to a new thread so that your question can be seen by more people. A lot of people will not look at a thread that has two or more posts because they think the person is being helped. For your modem question I would suggest that you go to Newbie forums and at the left bottom of the first page there will be a button "New Thread" and you will be able to post your own thread.
