Lexx, Try to get the serial modem working first so you can get online under Linux. Drivers for the serial modem are likely compiled into your kernel. Test with $ su - root # wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf IF the modem is found, edit in your dialout info with: # gedit /etc/wvdial.conf to a final format like that below. Then you should be able to dialout with # wvdial Write back at this point if you have problems. Once you are line, # apt-get update # apt-get upgrade Then get needed packages for compiling: # apt-get install gcc-4.1 linux-headers-2.6.18-5-686 kernel-kbuild-2.6-18 Then from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/sv92/ get the agrsm-20080203.tar.gz . Unpack with: $ tar zxf agrsm*.tar.gz There is good guidance in the package, Needed to prepare drivers for: Class 0780: 11c1:048c Communication controller: Agere Systems V.92 56K WinModem Primary PCI_id 11c1:048c Support type needed or chipset: Agere.SV2P MarvS scanModem manitainer ================ [Dialer defaults] # /etc/wvdial.conf file , # are comment lines Modem = /dev/modem Baud = 115200 Init1 = ATZ Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 ISDN = 0 Modem Type = Analog Modem Phone = 3015560020 Username = LoginName@xxxxxxxxxxx Password = YourPassword # Carrier Check = no ## only for /dev/pts/N ports # wvdial 2>&1 | tee wvdial.out ## for recording a session # Auto DNS = yes # Auto Reconnect = on ## END wdial.conf On Tue, Apr 22, 2008 at 1:31 AM, Lexx <tawnym@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > I have two modems connected to this computer, > > One is a serial Modem : SwannSmart Pro Surfer SW-M-SSPS > one is internal WinModem : Netcomm v90 IN5920 > > And I have another two WinModems to try if these fail, they are both PCI > > Please help, I so want to be part of the Linux Soloution. > > > Only plain text email is forwarded by the Discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx List > Server, > as HTML can contain viruses.
