Freezes without opening modem when I use KPPP. It wants to use IRQ 11 is there a way to force this to use IRQ on bootup as this IRQ is free. There are several devices trying to use IRQ 11. -------------------------- System information ---------------------------- CPU=i686, Linux version 2.6.27-1-mepis-smp (MEPIS 2.6.27-21mepis1) (dev@xxxxxxxxx) (gcc version 4.1.3 20080704 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.2-25)) #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Mar 28 21:24:54 EDT 2009 scanModem update of: 2009_12_10 The modem symbolic link is /dev/modem -> /dev/ttySM0 Presently install your Linux Distributions dkms package.

Completed candidate modem analyses. The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.1.3 and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.1.3 Minimal compiling resources appear complete: make utility - /usr/bin/make Compiler version 4.1 linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.27-1-mepis-smp/build However some compilations and executable functions may need additional files, in the FileNames.h (so called kernel "h"eaders) collection installed in /usr/include/ . For martian_modem, additional required packages are needed. The also required headers of package libc6 are commonly installed by default. Compiling hsfmodem drivers does require linux-libc-dev and libc6-dev packages, for kernels 2.6.24 and later versions. In not included on your install CD, search for them at http://packages.ubuntu.com or comparable Repository for other Linux distros. When compiling ALSA drivers, the utility "patch" will also be needed. Compressed files at: /usr/src/martian-modem.tar.bz2 For Debian and some related distributions, a package kernel-kbuild-2.6-27 may be needed to support driver compiling. 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 packages. 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 pppd properties: -rwsr-xr-- 1 root dip 269156 2008-11-28 12:48 /usr/sbin/pppd In case of an "error 17" "serial loopback" problem, see: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/linmodems/archive-sixth/msg02637.html To enable dialout without Root permission do: $ su - root (not for Ubuntu) chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd or under Ubuntu related Linuxes chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd Checking settings of: /etc/ppp/options asyncmap 0 auth crtscts lock hide-password modem proxyarp lcp-echo-interval 30 lcp-echo-failure 4 noipx 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/DOCs/YourSystem.txt concerning other COMM channels: eth0 Which can interfere with Browser naviagation.
