I already ask two questions to linuxquestions.org.but i did not get clear reply. i ask one more question.pla give me the clear reply. i am using RH9 .i need to configure internal modem. it is sm56 motrola PCI modem. this modem is already detected and configured automatically during boot time.(RH9) but when i using kppp dialer , modem is not detected.this is confirmed by using the tab qureying modem. then i change device files from /dev/modem to /dev/ttys3,/dev/ttys2 and so on.but no query reply from modem what is the reason for this . pls help me |
I havn't had to set up a modem in a while, but I do remember it always being ttyS0, try that one.... also, I always used to symlink /dev/modem to /dev/ttyS0
Have you tried /sbin/setserial ttyS0 to see what settings are associated with your different devices? HTH, GL |
motorola sm56 internal modem
Hi Najeeb,
I had a similar problem with my modem - conexant hsf56K softmodem (internal PCI winmodem) under MEPIS Linux (Debian based) - found that the modem installed OK with a symlink to /dev/modem - but when system was rebooted - (or booted) the symlink was not initialised properly thus stopping kppp from recognising it correctly. Suggest you check in - /usr/sbin/ - for a file maybe called 'smconfig' or something like - it's the modem configuration file that was 'named' in the on-screen report during the initial install of the modem - this file is used to 'configure' the modem - unfortunately the symlink to it can be lost on reboot (or restart into new session) - you may have to run this config file every time you want to start the modem. However - suggested fix I used for getting my modem up and running with no hassles: login as root = 1) in Konquerer - go to - /usr/local/bin/ - folder 2) right-click on 'blank space' in folder * select 'create new' in pop-up menu * select 'file' * select 'text file' * type in - startmodem - as file name 3) open up this "startmodem" file in either Kwrite or Kedit 4) type in: #!/bin/sh kdesu "/usr/sbin/smconfig < /usr/local/lib/smenters.txt" kppp #### NOTE: 'smconfig' may be incorrect as the modem config script name - use the name for yours. #### 5) save the file 6) right-click on blank space in -/usr/local/bin/ -folder * select 'actions' * select 'open terminal here' 7) in 'terminal' - type: chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/startmodem 8) exit 'terminal' 9) in Konquerer - back out to the - /usr/ - folder 10) now - go to - /usr/local/lib/ - folder 11) right-click on 'blank space' in folder * select 'create new' in pop-up menu * select 'file' * select 'text file' * type in - smenters.txt - as file name 12) open up this "smenters" file in either Kwrite or Kedit 13) type in the following keys: "Y"+"ENTER"+"ENTER"+"ENTER"+"ENTER"+"ENTER" 14) save the file 15) open up a terminal screen: type - update-modules type - update-menus 16) exit 'terminal' 17) log out 18) log-in as - user (or your 'user' log-in) 19) on the front 'desktop' screen - create an icon link to the 'startmodem' script in - /usr/local/bin/ - folder Now you can start your modem every time you want to go on-line without loosing the symlink after each boot up of your machine. I hope this helps? Good luck. Oz-Rod |
