Mic External modems should be detected by $ wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf after which remove the ; and put in your personal info at those lines with: $ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf and dialout with $ sudo wvdial You should be able to use packages matching your kernel(s) at http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hcf/full/downloads-ubuntu-x86.php When downloaded and copied into your Ubuntu partition: $ unzip hcf*.zip $ sudo dpkg -i *.deb Subsequently $ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf should find the HCF modem ( and also overwrite any prior /etc/wvdial.conf) and proceed as above MarvS On 9/23/07, mic <mikrose@xxxxxxx> wrote: > * Need a little help, still learning my way around Linux. > * I used MS XP for a few years with an internal Conexant modem. > * Switched to Linux Dapper 6.06 seven months ago and had to buy an > external serial Best Data V.92 modem and I've had no trouble > getting on-line. > * I ordered the newer Linux Feisty 7.04 a month ago and have been > trying to set up the modem but not having any luck. > * I purchased another external TrendNet TFM 560X serial modem, and > can't get on-line. > > > I have tried to follow the instructions for your scanModem but not > having much luck.
