Re: Kiwi Online
Thanks everyone for answers. If you are using the internal winmodem with that driver, it is normally /dev/modem or on one machine I used it was /dev/ttyS0 Hope this helps Slmodem-daemon clearly reports me that I have to use /dev/ttySL0. Read this page, and the outgoing links, carefully:- http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/ Yes, it is good source of information, I have started there. I can send my ModemData.txt, if it will be usefull. Testing modem using minicom is something new. I will try and report back. I gave up on winmodems years ago, and use an old dynalink 56k external, with a usb to serial connector set up as /dev/ttyUSB0 Did you have any problems with establishing connection using that modem? Any extra drivers? Because I'm thinking of buying usb-modem, if nothing will help. Get a adsl connection with a switch/router. you will find Linux so much easier. as we all know win modems are pain to get working. That's great idea, but I for some reasons I have to use dial-up. Thanks, Max

Any extra drivers? Because I'm thinking of buying usb-modem, if nothing will help. I have never had a problem with this set up. However, it is not a usb modem. It is a serial dynalink 56k connected through a usb 2 serial cable. This set up has worked with a several 56k modems, including Diamond Dynalink, usrobetics, and so on. The drivers are included in the kernel, however not all usb2serial connectors seem to work. The last one I purchased from Dick Smith was not compatible with Ubuntu. Trick is to take the laptop and modem with you and test it before you buy. Gnome ppp can detect the modem as /dev/ttyUSB0 if the cable is compatible. Cheers Chris T

Connect directly to the modem with something like minicom and see if it's responding dialling manually ... you'll find authentication difficult, but that bit needs to be confirmed anyway. -jim

Losemodems are almost always a waste of time, especially these days, when barely anyone uses them any more and the binary-only drivers are no longer supported by the modem chip makers and are unmaintainable by open source kernel programmers. If you can't replace your losemodem with a real modem, ensure you work out what the problem is in two separate steps, in this order. 1. Establish that you get a carrier. Use a terminal program of your choice (minicom, cu (part of uucp, you can't run this as root), whatever) and issue the correct AT commands with your keyboard. Vary the modem init string as necesssary, then dial the ISP number and see if the modem reports CONNECT some number. If not, your modem isn't working. As modem means piece of lousy hardware combined with piece of lousy driver (and the two are inseparable), draw your own conclusions and get a real modem. In my experience it is also almost always necessary to reduce the reporting level from X4 to something like X2, or the modem doesn't recognise the dial tone and doesn't proceed. Fix all this up first, *then* 2. Check your login to your ISP is working. Do this with a terminal program and follow the ISP prompts. That will also confirm you are entering your user name and password as your ISP wants it. When that is working, plonk all the (now verified correct) strings into wvdial, and test id that makes a connection too. kinternet and smpppd are superb for this. And did I mention that with a losemodem, don't be surprised if you don't get past 1.? HTH, Volker -- Volker Kuhlmann http://volker.dnsalias.net/ Please do not CC list postings to me.

While what others are saying about Winmodems is substantially true, it is usually possible, given enough time and effort, to get most of the more recent ones to go under Linux.
