USB modem detection
Hello All,
I have worked on Linux little, but not much to know about USB modem configurations. Ok, this is the problem I am facing, I have a beetel ADSL100U modem (USB), it is working great on Win XP but now as I am shifting to a Linux OS, i am having trouble detecting it and configuring it. How should i go about it? Thanks, Regards, Shivram |

This the one? It is a GlobeSpan chipset modem... That would suggest the globespan usb driver is what you want: http://eciadsl.flashtux.org/ IME it is unusual that usb-xDSL modems will work in linux. There are some that do though. What does "lsusb" say when your modem is connected? |

Welcome to LQ - the both of you.
Good first post redhot. From your name I'm guessing you've experienced these modems?? Would the pair of you be kind enough to edit your profiles to show your lacation and distro. Thank you. Oh yeah: "kppp" is a kde package - do you have a suggestion for gnome? Xfce? |
Simon Bridge I was corrected the other day on a usb Zoom modem (conexant chip) also. I guess we are not keeping up with the times but is seems most of the newer distros recognise the usb modems without drivers being added.

Depends on the modem... it is the chipset that determines compatability. I'm still waiting for OP - who says:
