USB Hardmodem Failing to Authenticate to ISP
I recently bought a RNX-56USB modem. It's a hardware, conexant based USB modem from Rosewill. It had many reviews (from NewEgg) that talked about it working with Linux. I'm running Fedora 11, 64 bit version.
Anyway, I plugged it in before booting, and made the following config file:
Quote:
[Dialer Defaults]
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Modem Type = USB Modem
Phone = xxx-xxxx
ISDN = 0
Username = xxxxxxx
Init1 = ATZ
Password = xxxxxxx
Modem = /dev/ttyACM0
Baud = 460800
Stupid Mode = 1
|
I have already verified the validity of my phone number, username, and password more than once.
When I try to connect with wvdial, this is what I get:
Quote:
--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60
--> Cannot get information for serial port.
--> Initializing modem.
--> Sending: ATZ
ATZ

--> Try again and look into /var/log/messages and the wvdial and pppd man pages for more information.

It also dumped this into the /var/log/messages file:
Quote:

Just to make sure 'stupid mode' wasn't messing it up, I commented it out, and tried again. This is what I got:

--> Initializing modem.

ATZ

And it put the same stuff as before in my /var/log/messages file.
What's the next step from here?
Thanks for any help you can give,
