Bernard, ID 0483:7554 SGS Thomson Microelectronics 56k SoftModem under CPU=i686, Ubuntu 6.06 LTS Linux version 2.6.15-23-386 will be supported by slamr-2.6.15-23-386.tgz http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/packages/smartlink/Ubuntu/ Under Linux: $ tar zxf slam(.tgz $ cd slamr-2.6.15-23-386 Browse the files $ sudo ./setup USB The ouput messages are appropriate to the slamr, not the slusb driver you will be using. But just reboot. Then $ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf should find the modem. $ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf adding a line: Carrier Check = no and replacing the <xxxx> with your dialout info Then dialout with: $ sudo wvdial MarvS $ On 6/26/07, Bernard Butler <bbutler@xxxxxxxx> wrote:
Hi, I have an elderly Dell GX110 and a choice of two USB modems. I installed Xubuntu 6.06 LTS with standard options. The two USB modems I have are, in order of preference: 1) Trust 56K V92 USB modem (Item No. 14209) - this has a second (pass-thru?) line out suitable for connecting a telephone cable 2) SpeedCom+ V.90/56K USB Modem (VD56US) I'd prefer to use the Trust modem because of the convenience of being able to leave both the PC and the phone connected all the time (without messy unplugging one to use the other), but I can use the SpeedCom+ modem instead if that's a better choice. I've attached Trustlsusb.txt which is the result of issuing the lsusb command while the Trust USB modem is attached to a USB port - scanModem did not appear to recognise the Trust modem. I would be grateful if you could review 1) TrustModemData.txt with Trustlsusb.txt 2) SpeedcomModemData.txt and advise how best to proceed to be able to connect to an ISP. Thanks for your help, Bernard
