VERY UNUSUAL problem with modem driver
hi, i'm new to this forum. i justed installed the new distro called Redmond Linux from www.lycoris.com. it didn't have built in modem drivers for me, so i took the binary executable, placed it in /bin as topic.modem. there was also a config script called rc.serial, and i placed that in /etc/rc.d/ as rc.serial, as per the instructions found here. the two driver files can be found here. i get some errors at startup, saying the file can't be found. they look exactly like this:
/etc/rc.d/rc.serial: /bin/topic.modem: no such file or directory rm: cannot unlink '/dev/modem': read-only file system ln: /dev/modem: file exists i've already posted this problem in another forum, the madonion.com forum, but it's not very saturated with knowledgable linux users. the thread i posted there can be found here thanks. |
i tried the same modem with the same drivers in redhat 7.2, and have gotten absolutely nowhere. in the kpppd setup menu, when i click query modem, it says the modem is busy. this means its at least seeing the modem, right? any ideas on how to make the modem not "busy"?

modem troubles
I'm very much a newbie myself, but as far as I have gathered the dev/modem is a link to the actual modem which should be on ttyo or tty1 (or something like that)
With me when I hadn't installed my modem yet kppp gave me the same return making you believe that it does see a modem, it doesn't mean anything though. If I were you I would check the installation of your modem try to debug it using wvdial (man wvdial) for instance. Hope I helped at least a little bit, I'm sure there people out there a lot cleverer than I with much better answers. ;) |
mmmmmmm!!!!!!!!
i don't know what does it mean the error msg u get cebesius but i know that /dev/modem is a file which has to point to the file which has the config. of ur modem
during the instalation doesit till u that u will find the modem on /dev/tty*** or anyhting like this if u so u'll have to link this file to /dev/modem look and tell us where is ur modem installed |
hi safrout
hey,
link the /dev/ttyxxx to /dev/modem using ln -sf /dev/ttyxxx /dev/modem . then use kppp and select /dev/modem as the device. this is what i did with my modem and it worked thanx to Safrout's help. all the best. |
