Aparently my Lucent Win Modem will not work with My Red Hat 7.1 on my other partition... Anyone have any idea show i could make it work?... My computer does not allow any modems besides PCI and no dsl/cable providers in my area...

i'm on a lucent right now.... on redhat 7.1...

what's going wrong?

and what's that about other partitions...?

IT says it cannot find my modem like i dont have one but on my windows partition my modem works fine.... i have two partition one Windows and one Red Hat 7.1

there are available drivers for some lucent winmodem models - www.linmodems.org should have them or have links to them. if you don't have a supported model, then there are hardware pci modems. i'm using a US Robotics PCI modem as i type.

shurrup isa.. i know this one..!

maybe... :-S

ok, i found that the lucent drivers. you have installed the newest lucent driver i take it... create a device that isn't searched for by linux. You should have a /dev/ttyLT0 which is, as you can guess, the Lucent Technology device file. use a soft link:

ln -s /dev/ttyLT0 /dev/modem

then try and find it using 'wvdialconf' in a terminal window.

if you've not got the drivers

sorted... hopefully

your saying thta modem supports red hat linux ?

er... yes... that's the very first thing i said.... scroll up a bit. this gateway i'm on IS redhat 7.1. it DOES have a LTmodem in it...

i downloaded http://www.sfu.ca/~cth/ltmodem/redha...0a1-1.i386.rpm i hope that is right it told me if i was on red hat to dl it from there...

Can anyone please give me instruction for setting this up detailed please

i have already told you how to set it up.

once you've installed the rpm, tell us if something goes wrong.

if you don't know how to install the fil, run

rpm -iv thatfile.rpm

When I get home i will test it all... but thanks alot for helping me so far
:x

LinuxQuestions.org is so awesome... Anyone i could have a post here and directly link it to my website for people to respond to it and stuff?

it said it couldnt find my modem again.... am i doing something wrong?

what are you doing to find the modem? did you try what i said about the devices?

ln -s /dev/ttyLTO /dev/modem
wouldnt work so i did
ln -sf /dev/ttyLTO /dev/modem
and that worked
i tried to run wvdialconf and it wouldnt told me i needed the address to a conf so i did
wvdialconf wvdial.conf
and it started doing it then it said no modem was found
could it be because my modem is on com3?

well i've the driver didn't make the ttyLT0 device then obviously it won't work, and if you use the -f option then it obviously will work, i.e. it'll make the link, but the link won't work.. cos the device you'er pointing it to doesn't exist!!

it should of course be LT[zero] not LT[theletterbeforeP] if that's what happened... but naturally check you HAVE the device first!

use

ls -l /dev/ttyLT* to see IF that's the way that the driver is installed.. i don't even know if it is.. but it was for me, using a different version of the driver. 5.99d i think.
