I am glad that you are able to get online (I think you can!). You can atomatically configure the setserial thing at start up in a file that I cant remember where, but I will let you know. I forgot to add to my earlier post about linking the /dev/ttyS15 file to the /dev/modem. You do this by typing
#.ln -sf /dev/ttyS15 /dev/modem

You then use /dev/modem as the device to dial from. If you use a graphical dialer such as kppp, then make sure it is set to use /dev/modem. This may allow you to use the modem in Linux itself. As for the other questions I am still looking them up. Glad you have some success. Unfortunately I can also dial out but pppd dies for some reason! Oh well...

in /lib, to "insmod pctel.o"...
error message would be:
"
pctel.o:unresolved symbol IntrOpen
pctel.o:unresolved symbol IntrClose
pctel.o:unresolved symbol IntrWrite

BJC. You have to create the file, then make it executional with the chmod command. Did you make a work area then use the "cd" command to go there? You can make a subdirectory by typing "mkdir [subdirectory]". The [subdirectory] would be the name of the subdirectory you want (not including the brackets).

Now use an editor to create the file called "fixscript". You'll find the contents for the file at: http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Linmod...O-7.html#ss7.1 . You can actually copy and pasted the contents for the file into your text editor for assurance in getting each line exact. Then save the file, then make it executional with the "chmod" command you just mentioned.

You can type "ls" to see what's in your area. If you don't see the file, then you haven't created it yet.

I'm having the same exact probs you guys are only i'm not using a softmodem. I'm using a PCI 56k USR. Just cannot get kppp or minicom or anything to recognize it. Frustrating... Jeremy.. Got and suggestions on how to get a pci modem to work.. i've down all of the above that cragstar and bjc have..


iSo

iSO,
You may have to upgrade to the 2.4 kernel to get that modem to work.
Of course that doesn't mean that someone hasn't got it to work yet.
Does any one out there have one of the modems listed in the above quote working in Linux?

I am a new convert to Linux brigade from Windoze, i have configured the most of my linux machine but am having problems getting my Yamaha DS-XG sound card and Motorola Sm56PCI modem to get going in Linux. I cant stand long without music and net so both are critical...can any1 help
