Mozilla accessing modem

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi All.

I am fairly new to Linux. I have my modem configured and working but I cannot figure out how to get Mozilla to automatically activate the modem when it is launched. Right now I have to activate and deactivate the modem by going to: System Tools --> Network Device Control. Also, when I run wvdial at the prompt (both as a root and as a normal user) I get the error message that the section [Dialer Defaults] does not exist in wvdial.conf and I don't know what those are.

My modem belongs to group uucp and has read and write permissions only for the owner and for that group. I have tried changing the permissions to allow "others" to read, write and execute the modem but that stops Mozilla from launching cleanly (and seems to add a phantom modem to the list of configured modems). Is there some way to give Mozilla group permission for the uucp group the same way you would for a normal user? Or this some other, entirely more sensible, way to do this. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

Kevin
