Hey people !
I'm talking to you from RH8, using the sm56 modem.
What I did, is quite simple, that's what I did:
1) I inserted my RH7.1 First Installation Disk
2) Changed into the RedHat/RPMS/ directory and
3) Installed : 'rpm kernel-2.4.2-2.i686.rpm --nodeps --force'
4) Now when I have two kernels, I have to define the new one in grub
so I launched emacs and edited /etc/grub.conf (which is a simlink)
and added this:
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.2-2)
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.2-2 root=/dev/hda2 hdc=ide-scsi
Then, reboot, choose the new entry... Install the SM56 RPM which one
can get from motorola.com site, that's all!
Afterward I checked the modem with 'minicom' (I had to configure it
to use /dev/sm56 first) and saw that everything was fine (I was shocked
to see that it works!) and just used insert-your-favourite-dialer-here
to dial!
Whoa, I'm still excited!
