Claudio On the System with Linux version 2.6.17-10-generic scanModem could only detect PCI card modems, which were not detected. Can you get any info from Microsoft diagnostics? On the slight change that its a Controller chipset modem, try $ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf If the modem is not detected, the next option to check is for a Lucent/Agere DSP modem, which was common in older laptops. First go to http://packages.ubuntu.com/ . Search for the package libc6-dev , download and install it: $ sudo dpkg -i libc6-dev*.deb Then go to http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/packages/ltmodem/kernel-2.6/martian/ and get the martian-full-20061203.tar.gz Under Linux unpack: $ tar zxf martian-full-20061203.tar.gz $ cd martian-full-20061203 Read the info. $ make clean $ make $ sudo make install Driver insertion: $ sudo martian_dev will work independent of the modem hardware. Then try $ sudo martian_modem It this succeeds with announcement of: /dev/ttySLTO --> /dev/pts/N it is Lucent/Agere DSP modem hardware. However a failure would not be decisive, report back. If a success: $ wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf should find the modem. Do an edit with $ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf to a form like the sample below. Then try a dialout with: $ sudo wvdial MarvS [Dialer Defaults] Modem = /dev/ttySLT0 Init1 = ATZ Init2 = AT+GCI=59 # 59 is Italian country code in hexadecimal Init3 = ATQ0 V1 E1 X3 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 # the X3 is ofter necessary in Italy, specifying dial without dialtone detection. Modem Type = Analog Modem Phone = 3015560020 ISDN = 0 Username = LoginName Carrier Check = no Password = LoginPassWord Baud = 460800 On 2/13/07, claudio benghi <claudio.benghi@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:
Hi everybody, I'm trying to install xubuntu in a low-profile friend's laptop and I cannot figure out how connect it to the internet. It's an old toshiba satellite s1800-214. With no lan card. I'm attaching the modemdata.txt file. I tried to read it several times, but I never had to use a modem under linux (never had to use a modem in the last 5 years), so I hope I'm not wasting your time with some obvious answer. If so I apologyze. Thanks a lot, Claudio
