Hello ppl, I am a new user to Linux and am using Red Hat Linux 7.1. I am trying to configure my modem on it. I have a GVC 33.6 external modem which has a Rockwell chipset. I tried to configure using the RH Dialer, and Linux detected my modem as /dev/ttyS0. When I tried to debug it, a series of commands followed and then the system tried to dial .... a short dial tone is audible and then the windows says that the dial tone is not found and it redials... I had the same problem on Windows 2000 Adv Server, but I addedd init strings in the Extra Settings of the modem settings. The extra settings were : atx S11-250. The problem was solved in Win2K after using these settings ... I was wondering if the same settings would solve the problem in Linux... but I do not know where to add these strings or where to get a dialog box from where I can set these init strings for the modem ... Any other suggestions are welcomed and I would be thankful for them... Ritin __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
