Attached files: (1) ModemData.txt from scanModem (2) wvtestdial from 'wvdialconf wvtest' & 'wvdial --config wvtest' (Running under Mandriva 2008.0 PP on Toshiba laptop.) Using the KPPP dialler, I can obtain a usable connection, but can hear no sounds (dialling tones, negotiation squawks) from the modem (although I can if I use the modem from Windows Vista) - although the M1L3 command was used. As can be seen from attachment (2), I have also tried WVDIAL, but it kept reporting NO CARRIER. Is there a way of obtaining sound from the modem? -- /\/\aurice Batey (Retired in Surrey, UK)

If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing: gcc-4.2 make kernel-source-2.6.22.14-laptop-1.uc1mdv If a driver compilation fails, with message including some lack of some FileName.h (stdio.h for example), then Some additional kernel-header files need installation to /usr/include. The minimal additional packages are libc6-dev and any of its dependents, under Ubuntu linux-libc-dev If an alternate ethernet connection is available, $ apt-get update $ apt-get -s install linux-kernel-devel will install needed package For Debian/Ubuntu related distributions, run the following command to display the needed package list: Otherwise packages have to be found through http://packages.ubuntu.com Once downloaded and transferred into a Linux partition, they can be installed alltogether with: $ sudo dpkg -i *.deb Checking settings of: /etc/ppp/options In case of a message like: Warning: Could not modify /etc/ppp/pap-secrets: Permission denied see http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-sixth/msg04656.html Read Modem/YourSystem.txt concerning other COMM channels: eth0 eth1 Which can interfere with Browser naviagation.
