Pls advice, my understanding is limited. > If it's just an ordinary serial modem (not USB, right?) there are no special modules involved. if you know what serial port it's attached to, you might try verifying that the port is really alive by using "setserial -g /dev/ttyS0" or ttyS1 or whatever the device actually is. That should report the properties of the serial port, or some kind of error if it's not found or is having problems of some sort. I don't know anything about KPPP so I can't help there. But,... If the setserial hack seems to be good, you could try something like this: echo ATDT1-234-567-8901 > /dev/modem using some phone number you know is safe to dial without waking up someone who wouldn't appreciate it (!) and see if the modem dials, or even if any of the lights on it blink. If so, then that implies that you can talk to the serial port and thence the modem. If so, then the problem wiht KPPP is something other than the device not existing. > Regards > Harish > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "fred smith" <fredex@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > To: <redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx> > Sent: Monday, October 27, 2003 12:10 AM > Subject: Re: USRobotics Modem Driver > > > > -- > redhat-list mailing list > unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ------------------------ ---- Do you not know?
