dial in server problem
 

I Upgrade OS From Fedora 4 to Fedora 9.

fedora 9 dial in server modem not respond

install packege mgetty and mgetty+sendfax.
configre mgetty as previous
Edit /etc/inittab file.
modem response ok when wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf at ttyS0

I have D'Link DFM 560ES and D'Link 562E++ extarnal serial port modem.

Please Help.

You say "server modem not respond". Not respond to what? Dial in, or dial out? You say you get a response when you use wvdialconf, but don't give any other details.

How did you configure mgetty? What did you edit in /etc/inittab? What, exactly, is the problem?

fedora 9 dialin server problem
 

Sorry

Cofigure mgetty

edit /etc/mgetty+sendfax/login.config and add line at end

/AutoPPP/ - a_ppp /usr/sbin/pppd
* - - /bin/login @

edit /etc/inittab to add a serial port at end of file

# inittab is only used by upstart for the default runlevel.
#
# ADDING OTHER CONFIGURATION HERE WILL HAVE NO EFFECT ON YOUR SYSTEM.
#
# System initialization is started by /etc/event.d/rcS
#
# Individual runlevels are started by /etc/event.d/rc[0-6]
#
# Ctrl-Alt-Delete is handled by /etc/event.d/control-alt-delete
#
# Terminal gettys (tty[1-6]) are handled by /etc/event.d/tty[1-6] and
# /etc/event.d/serial
#
# For information on how to write upstart event handlers, or how
# upstart works, see init(8), initctl(8), and events(5).

# Default runlevel. The runlevels used are:
# 0 - halt (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
# 1 - Single user mode
# 2 - Multiuser, without NFS (The same as 3, if you do not have networking)
# 3 - Full multiuser mode
# 4 - unused
# 5 - X11
# 6 - reboot (Do NOT set initdefault to this)

edit /etc/ppp/options for a valid ip
192.168.0.1:192.168.0.248

192.168.0.1 is my home machine IP.

edit /etc/ppp/options.ttyS0
192.168.0.1:192.168.0.248


edit /etc/ppp/pap-secrets for a username and password

# Secrets for authentication using PAP

Found a modem on /dev/ttyS0.

It shows modem OK.
I need a dialin server at my home .
What is the problem.

Please Help.

Have you looked up the modem codes? From a quick Google search:

http://www.lisa.univ-paris12.fr/Electronik/Hayes.htm

Specifically, the "S0=0" is telling the modem not to answer incoming calls. Set the S0 to be equal 1 (or something).
