Hi People, I have been asked by Rotal Management to support their ALE070 USB modem (the blue modem)..
After 3 hours of playing, removing, installing etc it works on Red Hat 7.3 with Red Hat's kernel (you need to compile some stuff if you build your kernel) and I'm sending this email right now with this connection. Surprisingly, at the moment you don't need any additional kernel modules which are outside the kernel, so I think SuSE, Red Hat, Mandrake prebuilt kernel should do the trick and the modem is using some UML (user mode Linux) tricks to make it work. I have tested it only on my Intel bases USB chipset (Intel 82801), so if you have VIA chipset your results might be different then mine (VIA 3038 and this modem have tons of problems with Windows). As for configuring the modem to work - there will be a GUI (tcl/tk GUI) which you'll need to type your username <example: example@INetvision>, password, and select ASKEY/Rotal.com modem, and type your DNS numbers (since this modem is given to all ISP's), and after that you can dial with a "startmodem" (as root) script which is provided. Terminating connection can be done with the usual kill command (or by a script you can write). My questions: 1. Could someone provide me some space to host the files? (so people can access it using browser) 2. Should I merge the text explaining everything inside the Bezeq-ADSL-howto? 3. Anyone wants to write a GTK/QT front end in hebrew for the scripts? The modifications are going to be rolled into the eci adsl package. The default DNS values are from Bezeq International. Hope it's ok by everyone (they can be changed of course) - so if someone could provide me with some space - I hope I'll publish a URL with the tarball, although it will be only available tommorow since those modifications are not rolled into the CVS yet.
