Hi,
The 5637 looks like a serial modem and does the Hayes instruction set.
The normal KDE programs set it up and dial... my heart goes out to you
with a dial up line. My heart goes out at 24,000 bits per second, which
takes a while, especially when there are other things using bandwidth.

Subject: Re: Help with US Robotics usb modem.
Antonio,
I am searching but I can't find any page that will state whether or
not the modem is supported or not through linux :(
http://www.usr.com/support/s-main-menu.asp
I searched on openSUSE forum:
http://forums.opensuse.org/archives/sls-archives/archives-suse-linux/archives-hardware-support/380785-i-need-driver-modem-usb-2.html
In the linmodem archives a page appears but it might be different
chipset that states that there is no linux support?
http://archives.linmodems.org/16910
Since I don't know the exact model no of the modem, if I knew I could
probably tell you more. ON US robotics page it states that for a
certain
USR5637 USB modem it supports linux too.
http://www.usr.com/products/modem/modem-product.asp?sku=USR5637
I don't know what to tell you at this time. I would like to know
exact model no/name of the modem and I can try to find out more for
you.
Regards,
Antonio

Hi, Antonio
I appreciate your help, thanks agains.
wvdial.conf is empty. When I ran wvdialconf, I got a message saying that
wvdialconf can´t find any modem.
I don´t know why, but mi modem is connected. If you see in modemData in the
section Attached USB devices you´ll see this:
ID 0baf:00ec U.S. Robotics 56K Faxmodem --> My modem...

Antonio,
Please send us output of
$ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
What do you get?
send it to us. scanModem only looks for PCI modems and can find usb ones.

Antonio

Hi,
I read the advice but I don´t understand if it refers to any USB modem or
just to USB modem conected using an external serial cable or mounted
internally on an ISA card. However I tried with wvdialconf as root but it
didn´t detect my modem.
Thanks for your answer,
Antonio

Antonio,
Since your modem is a USB modem, you may try scanModem's advice:
<quote>
If your modem is an
external USB type,
connected by an external serial cable,
or mounted internally on an ISA card,
then scanModem would not access it.
Try with Root permission
$ wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
to detect these modem types and some USB modems.
If the detection is successful, read the DOCs/wvdial.txt .
Edit the /etc/wvdial.conf with Root permission:
gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
will be able to dial out with Root permission:
wvdial

Try the above advice and if you encounter problems, let us know.

Antonio

Hi,
I'm a cuban linux user. I'm new in the open source world. Few months
ago
I
bought a US Robotics USB Fax Modem for dial-out connections. I used it
in
Windows XP without problems, then I installed Debian Squeeze with Kde
4.4
and I fell in love with this operating system. All my devices work
fine,
even I use windows softwares that I need in my every day work but I
can´t
set up the modem.
I ran scanModem and I attach it in this e-mail. I'll appreciate any
help
to
configure my modem. Sorry if my English is not too good, in Cuba we
speak
Spanish.
Best regarding
Antonio
