Jeff: You seem to have a PCMCIA problem. After I wrote a follow up 10 minutes ago I searched where I store my old computer stuff and found a Megahertz XJ1144. I tested it on an old notebook running Linux 2.2.9 and the PCMCIA card services and modules version 3.0.9 and did not have a problem at all. This modem is not a Win modem and works perfect under Linux.
You need to run pon before using APT if you are using a mirror in the Internet. If you have a local mirror (which I don't think is your case) the you need to be connected to your ISP before running APT. Hope this helps. peloy.- jeff k <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I've got my base installed and i am still trying to > get everything else on with apt. > > My problem is that I still can't tell what's up with > my modem-card (Megahertz XJ1144). > I do know that it is not a winmodem, but it doesn't show up > on any of the lists of "modems working under Linux" either. > > When I boot it does show up as /dev/ttyS0 and when I use > stty it show up too, baud and all. > > when I pon my plog reads: > pppd 2.3.5 started by root, uid0 > tchettatr: Input/Output error (5) > or also: > send (ATZ^M) > expect (OK) > It just doesn't seem to be dialing at all. > > Any ideas? > jk > > p.s. stupid question: i have to pon before i go to the menu > and run apt, right?? > > > ______________________________________________________ > Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com > > > -- > Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null >
