| Hello. I am a newbie to wine. In my local area, the only way to have | unmetered access to th internet is to use AOL. After some research on | the internet, it gas come to light that some linux users have managed | to install AOL's version 5.0 of their software to access AOL. | | Following these instructions, AOL5 is installed on my computer. The | command "wine setup32.exe" was run. AOL5 has been installed. On | launching the program, the login screen appears. However, the software | is unable to access the modem and establish a connection. | | Is it possible to access AOL in this way? Does anyone have a better | Solution. Maybe. if it works the modem with the *Comm or *File API, these are well supported. DUN and RAS are not, probably will never be. In fact you get this mail by modem from the Juno version 2 client. Note you must configure the modem to linux (set the correct IRQ with setserial, FI) and name the com device in ~/.wine/config: [serialports] "Com1" = "/dev/ttyS0" "Com2" = "/dev/ttyS1" "Com3" = "/dev/ttyS2" The user who runs wine needs to be able to read and write the modem device (not just the symbolic link /dev/modem, the real device, /dev/ttyS<n> or (with devfs, /dev/tts/<n>) and needs to be able to create a lock file in /var/lock, I think). Root should not run wine. If you still have trouble with the modem, let me know. I can probably find a copy of AOL somewhere and hack around with it, and I am familiar with wine serial comm (See documentation/ChangeLog.OLD). | I have downloaded and compiled Penggy. However, this allows browser | and non-AOL mail access but not access to their computing chat channel | which I use a lot. If Penggy has a connection to AOL the AOL front end | does not connect at all. Probably becase Penggy is already connected | and two connections are not permitted by AOL. Is there a workaround | this? Does Penggy use the modem? | | Any help will be appreciated. | | | LinuxWorld999 | Registered Linux User #305521 | http://counter.li.org | I registered a long time ago, but I have forgotten my User #, Lawson -- ---oops--- ________________________________________________________________ Sign Up for Juno Platinum Internet Access Today Only $9.95 per month!
