You appear to have two modems one external/serial? scanModem update of: 2008_08_26 The modem symbolic link is /dev/modem -> /dev/ttyS0 and another the ESS one For candidate card in slot 03:00.0, firmware information and bootup diagnostics are: PCI slot PCI ID SubsystemID Name ---------- --------- --------- -------------- 03:00.0 125d:2898 148d:1030 Communication controller: ESS Technology ES2898 Modem There is ESS code, but I do not know that it will work for 2.4 kernels? will relay this to discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [root@localhost DOCs]# cat ESScom.txt Vendor=125d is ESS Technologies, http://www.esstech.com/ The PCI id 125d:2898 modems are under 2.6.n kernels. The driver resources for 125d:2898 modems should be downloaded from http://tx.technion.ac.il/~raindel/ess_2.6-v0.3.tar.gz , benefitting from an update by Jeff Trull. There are brief instructions at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=185079 Under Linux, unpack with: $ tar zxf ess_2.6-v0.3.tar.gz Move into the folder wit: $ cd ess_2.6-v0.3 Browse the files therein and run as Root the: $ ./setup The setup program creates a port: $ ls -l /dev/ttyS_ESS0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 62, 64 2006-09-23 23:08 /dev/ttyS_ESS0 and a symbolic link to it: /dev/modem --> /dev/ttyS_ESS0 Specify either /dev/modem or /dev/ttyS_ESS0 as the modem port for dialer utilities. A file is installed: /etc/udev/rules.d/ess.rules , with line: "KERNEL=\"ttyS_ESS0\", SYMLINK=\"modem\"" which supports automated port creation during driver loading. If the drivers do not autoload during bootup, they can be loaded by: $ modprobe esscom after which the driver interdependencies can be displayed by: $ lsmod | grep esscom esscom 16580 0 esscom_hw 421328 1 esscom linmodems 345678 2 esscom esscom_hw The modem should be found by: $ wvdialconf wvtest See DOCs/wvdial.txt and DOCs/Testing.txt for follow through details. =============== For 2.4.n Linux kernels and are there some kludges of fading utility: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/archive-fourth/msg00317.html (2004Feb08) http://andrew.cait.org/ess/ http://sidlo.penguin.cz/ES2838/index_en.html http://tx.technion.ac.il/~raindel/ http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/linmodems/archive/msg04424.html There was only formal support under for Linux for kernels 2.2.2. ====== end ESS.com section ======= [root@localhost DOCs]# Regards, Antonio --- On Thu, 9/25/08, Syu <syu2000@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > From: Syu <syu2000@xxxxxxxxx> > Subject: ModemData file for ES2898 Modem on Linux 2.4.20-8smp > To: olivares14031@xxxxxxxxx > Date: Thursday, September 25, 2008, 5:09 AM > Dear Antonio, > > I'm installing a ES2898 Modem on a Linux 2.4.20-8smp > server. > Would you please provide me the neccessary driver for my > modem? > I've used the scanmodem tool to generate the ModemData > file which you > may find in the attachment. > > Thanks & best Regards, > Bikkuri @ China
