Jacques, I got that when running scanModem on Slackware and on Slax since I tried testing again the agrsm code for a modem 11c1:0630. I tried code with 2.6.27.27 kernel and the driver apparently worked, because I tested it with no connection available and wvdail told me that there was no dialtone. I will test it with newer 2.6.31.7-smp kernel from slackware current on it. I got not found on fedora too: [olivares@localhost ~]$ ls -l /etc/lsb-release.d/ ls: cannot access /etc/lsb-release.d/: No such file or directory [olivares@localhost ~]$ ls -l /etc/lsb-release ls: cannot access /etc/lsb-release: No such file or directory [olivares@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.31.12-174.2.3.fc12.i686.PAE Regards, Antonio On 2/28/10, Jacques Goldberg <goldberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Dear Anonio > > > I do not understand your line > > /etc/lsb-release not found > > but it may help you to know that on my Scientific Linux (derived from > RedHat RHEL4) theis a directory > > /etc/lsb-release.d > > As you use Fedora this is likely the same for you. > [localhost] /home/goldberg > ls -l /etc/lsb-release.d/ > total 16 > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Oct 7 2005 core-3.0-ia32 > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Oct 7 2005 core-3.0-noarch > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Oct 7 2005 graphics-3.0-ia32 > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Oct 7 2005 graphics-3.0-noarch > > Jacques > > > > > Antonio Olivares wrote: > >> Nikolay, >> >> Wvdial is an excellent tool, it is recommended to have, but not >> required.
