Thomas, Just use any dialer utility your Linux Distro provides. But use its setup component before you try a full dialout.

I was able to download the hsfmodem*.deb package, install it, and configure it using wvdial.conf. But again, I am stuck at the very last step - wvdial. doesn't work. When I try to run it, I get the message "command not found".

Also, I have internet access even as I try to install the dialup modem. I have intermittent access to a wireless router, and only work on this when I have access.) > > Thomas Balderston > International Development Consultant > Phone: +1-202-470 3205 > > > --- On Sun, 8/17/08, Marvin Stodolsky <marvin.stodolsky@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > >> From: Marvin Stodolsky <marvin.stodolsky@xxxxxxxxx> >> Subject: Re: Thomas, Kazakhstan, kernel 2.6.24-16-generic >> To: "Support (Jonathan)" <support@xxxxxxxxxxxx> >> Cc: thomas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx >> Date: Sunday, August 17, 2008, 4:47 PM >> Thomas >> >> It is a file not URL I think, as 127.0.0.1 always refer to >> your own PC. >> On my Ubuntu system, there is in >> /etc/hosts >> 127.0.0.1 localhost >> >> MarvS >> >> On Sun, Aug 17, 2008 at 2:56 PM, Jacques Goldberg >> <Jacques.Goldberg@xxxxxxx> wrote: >> > Thomas, >> > >> > Excuse me but I am not intelligent enough to >> understand what you mean by: "I >> > downloaded the installer". >> > Which installer is this "THE", you did not >> say, and I cannot guess. >> > >> > Is it the file >> "hsfmodem-7.68.00.12x86_64full.tar.gz" which Marv >> told you to >> > download, or the Linuxant crap named >> "cnxtinstall.run" ? >> > >> > Installing hsfmodem-7.68.00.12x86_64full.tar.gz does >> not require any >> > browser, it just requires to read the instructions for >> installation using >> > method C in the "Installation" page linked >> from the HSF menu on the left >> > side of page http://www.linuxant.com/drivers. >> > >> > cnxtinstall.run does use a browser but Marv did not >> tell you to use it, and >> > I name that "installer" crap because it >> makes things more complicated than >> > the straight method and because it requires that you >> already have a working >> > connection (LAN, ADSL, other modem) because it >> downloads material from the >> > Linuxant site, which is of course not possible when >> you just have a modem >> > still not working (the hen and the eggs, you know...) >> > >> > I have asked Linuxant several times to remove it.
