This instruction set is abreviated from one provided by Hugo Canilli. He has thus had success with this AGRSM code requiring modem, under Linuxes: Ubuntu versions 6.10, 7.04, 7.10 and slackware 12.0. Marv Stodolsky has edited the text to suit this package. Steps 1-3 below are automated by the package agrsm-tools, available at http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/ Note: the sudo is for usage in Ubuntu related Linux Distros/ For other Linuxes, first acquire Root/Adm powers with: su - root which will typically return a leading line with # , and Commands can be given without sudo: 1) Load the drivers sudo modprobe agrmodem sudo modprobe agrserial which should announce creation of /dev/ttyAGS3 2) It is convient to create symbolic links, which dialer utilities will follow, to the real port /dev/ttyAGS3 . sudo ln -s /dev/ttyAGS3 /dev/ttySAGR sudo ln -s /dev/ttyAGS3 /dev/modem Check with: ls -l /dev/ttyAGS3 /dev/ttySAGR /dev/modem whose output should include: /dev/modem --> /dev/ttyAGS3 /dev/ttySAGR --> /dev/ttyAGS3 3) The first critical functial test is: sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf which searches through potential ports for modem responses. A success will end with a section like: -------- ttySAGR<*1>: Modem Identifier: ATI -- Agere SoftModem Version 2.1.40 ttySAGR<*1>: Speed 4800: AT -- OK ttySAGR<*1>: Speed 9600: AT -- OK ttySAGR<*1>: Speed 19200: AT -- OK ttySAGR<*1>: Speed 38400: AT -- OK ttySAGR<*1>: Speed 57600: AT -- OK ttySAGR<*1>: Speed 115200: AT -- OK ttySAGR<*1>: Max speed is 115200; that should be safe. ttySAGR<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 -- OK Found a modem on /dev/ttySAGR. Modem configuration written to /etc/wvdial.conf. ttySAGR<Info>: Speed 115200; init "ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0" -------- Then you can proceed to try a dialout (see below). A failure will include lines like: ttyS0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- failed with 2400 baud, next try: 9600 baud ttyS0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- failed with 9600 baud, next try: 115200 baud ttyS0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- and failed too at 115200, giving up. Modem Port Scan<*1>: S1 S2 S3 Sorry, no modem was detected! In this case there are a few Remedies to try. R1) edit your grub or lilo parameter to the kernel with the option "pci=noacpi" For example in a Ubuntu system, gedit can be used to modify the file /boot/grub/menu.lst with command: sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst The middle of menu.lst includes sections correponding to each bootup choice like: title Ubuntu 7.10, kernel 2.6.22-14-generic root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic ro quiet splash initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic quiet Make a copy of this section, and edit to: title Ubuntu 7.10, kernel 2.6.22-14-generic without acpi root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic ro quiet splash pci=noacpi initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic quiet Save the edit Restart the computer. Among the bootup options, make the new choice: Ubuntu 7.10, kernel 2.6.22-14-generic without acpi Test for modem detection, through steps 1,2 and 3 Go to the dialout test if successful. R2) If not, try to disable the sound in the bootup BIOS. R2a) Note a success can sometimes be achieved by moving the modem card to other PCI slot. But this option is not available on laptops. See success report: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-eighth/msg00304.html Follow prior steps 1,2 and 3 for testing, retaining the bootup acpi=off parameter. Dialout procedure ------------------ First edit in your dialout information with: sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf In the sample below, the lines beginning with are informative, not essential. The line order is not important. [Dialer defaults] # Lines begining with # are comments. # wvdial will look for this file at /etc/wvdial.conf # or /home/LoginName/.wvdial.rc Baud = 115200 Modem = /dev/ttySAGR3 Init1 = ATZ Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 # Lack of dialtone acquisition can be due to low line voltage, # a common problem in Italy. # Try inserting a "dial without waiting": X3 # Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 X3 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 # In case of connection instabilities, specify a lower frequency: # Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 X3 &C1 &D2 +MS=34 ## Outside the USA, a country setting may be needed # Init3 = AT+CGI=hexadecimal_country_code ISDN = 0 Modem Type = Analog Modem Phone = Dialout_phone_number # if going through a switch board, a perhaps necessary pause can produced with a comma: # Phone = 1,Dialout_phone_number Username = LoginName # if Internet Provider is MSN.net, use under Linux: MSN/LoginName Password = YourPassWord ## If CONNECT is achieved but browsing fails, try activating the following line # Auto DNS = yes ## To make a logfile wvdial.out # wvdial 2>&1 | tee wvdial.out # # For some Internet providers, the following line is necessary # Stupid Mode = yes ## for other wvdial options, do "man wvdial" or see the documentation in ## /usr/share/doc/wvdial/ ## End wvdial.conf
