No modem detection

linuxbeliever · 12-27-2006, 11:01 PM

I am using edgy ubuntu 6.10 i386 alternate the installation whent ok, but it does not want to detect my modem blaster external v.92 which is a serial 56k dialup modem, my SuSE 10.1 report that is a:

microcom deskporte 56k voice

Device name: modem0

Modem device: /dev/ttys1

The modem works fine under SuSE 10.1, my question is where to tell ubuntu to look for the modem? so I can get connected to my ISP . The only thing I can see is network devices does not detect my modem.

SuSE includes some proprietary drivers, for winmodems too, unlike Ubuntu.
Download drivers (look linmodems.org) for your modem, and install them.

This is not a winmodem, this a built-in controller standard serial modem I know that for sure because it worked fine with before with early red hat and lindows versions of linux.

Any other ideas? Thanks for the reply in advance.

System-> Administration-> Networking. Select "Modem connection" then Properties button. In General tab check "Enable this connection". Under the Modem tab select the modem port. The rest is really very self explanatory.

Thanks for your reply.

I manage to install kubuntu and found that one I put the settings right in kppp then it connect just right.

Thanks again
