My Linux Box can't find the modem.... any commands I can use to check
out links and such? Should be normal formal /dev/modem-->tty0 or
whatever. Anyway. This is what I did to get what I got, (or ain't
got):
1.) I installed Mandrake Linux 7.0
which I purchased from ASL Labs (http://www.aslab.com/ ) on my
Excaliber-LT300 *, also purchased from them
which has a Lynsys Etherfast 10/100+ 56k Modem PC Card
for modem and ethernet
2.) I compiled ASL provided pcmcia_c.3.1.5.tar.gz
4.) I have adapted "network" script as instructed:
NETWORKING=yes
FORWARD_IPV4=false
HOSTNAME=local*
DOMAINNAME=local.localdomain*
GATEWAY-183.152.23.255
GATEWAYDEV=eth0 [alternating with GATEWAYDEV=ppp0 ---> same null result]
5.) Launching kppp, I get a "modem does not repond". Using modem
query option...it finds no modem.
I notice that at bootup I do not get a "watching both ports" response
after launching PCMCIA... you know...as if both the ethernet and
modem plugs on my pc card were being recognized.
Thanks
I'm restricted to my Mac (gawk!) until this gets fixed.
