Ref: PCI modem issues...
There are many PCI modems out there that are win-modem
based...HOWEVER, there are some new ones just coming
out that will work on LINUX...example:
The Lucent (Venus) based chips on Multitec, IBM and Actiontec
PCI modems will work with LINUX. I have the Actiontec (Call Waiting)
PCI modem and it works...the Lucent (Formerly an AT&T affiliate)
chipset is a full blown, real modem...with all chips on the card to
control everything..no need for any MS$ code in your system.
BTW the Actiontec (Call Waiting) modem cost $99 at places
like Circuit City...but, remember, it is a full control chipset
modem!
It works because it emulates a UART (16550A), that is what your
external serial modem sees as it talks to your serial port. When
you assign your comm port via the Setserial command...example,
as indicated in the enclosure, the "ttyX" parameter set at "tty3"
would be the equivalent of assigning comm 4 to the internal
port address (the first one) from the PCI info form the
PCI query of your LINUX system.
Anyway, by insuring you have the LUcent chipset mentioned
and following the info below...it will work. However, there
are some PCI full blown modems out there that do not
emulate the UART and will not work! So check around,
there are some outstanding PCI modems out there that
will work...and a lot that will never work and depend on
a MS OS!
Leonard...
Actiontec is at:
http://www.actiontec.com
look for info on the PCI (Call Waiting modem)...it has a note
on the front of the box that it is LINUX compatible as well
as MS, IBM OS2, etc.
____________________________________________________
The following from the Red-Hat site regarding PCI modems on LINUX:
Downloaded 8/10/99...10:30 am...Tuesday....Hope this helps!
Leonard...
Lucent Venus based PCI modem emulate a complete serial UART and are
able to work under Linux because of this.
The Actiontec PM-6500-LKI is an implementation of this chipset that
has been tested to work with Red Hat Linux version 5.2
Here is how you get a Venus based PCI modem to work under Linux:
I) Physically install the modem. If you cannot do this or are unsure,
please consult a qualified computer technician.
II) Login to your system as "root".
III) Determine the resources used by the modem. To do this, look at
your /proc pci file with a comamand something like this:
"less /proc/pci".
IV) Look for an entry that has vendor id=11c1 and a device id=480.
Note the IRQ that this device uses as well as the first I/O
address that is listed.
V) Use the IRQ and I/O address obtained in step IV to set up the
serial port that the modem uses with a command like this:
"setserial /dev/ttySx uart 16550A port y irq z"
where x is the serial device you want to use, y is the I/O address and
z is the IRQ.
VI) You will want this command to execute each time that your machine
boots, so you will want to put the command that you
typed in /etc/rc.d/rc.local or in /etc/rc.d/rc.serial
You will probably also want to make a symbolic link from your serial
device to /dev/modem with a command like this:
"ln -s /dev/ttySx /dev/modem"
where x is the serial device that you choose (like in step V) for your
modem.
That should do it.
The test conditions for this are as follows:
OS: RedHat Linux 5.2 Boxed CD with Linux kernel 2.0.36
______________________________________________________
Under the later distributions there is a neat little Icon that shows
all PCI devices attached to the system and all the pertinent
info to put in the Setserial command you need. Also, you'll
have to change the write permissions on the file. It is write
protected. I'm referring to the etc/rc.d/rc.local files.
I found this PCI info in the Mandrake 6.0 distribution of RH.
I'm pretty sure it's in all R.H. 6.0 editions...I don't think it
was there under 5.2...at least, not under a Icon!
Leonard..

Justin,
I'm using an external Creative Labs Modem Blaster and KDE on L-Mandrake 6.
I'm BRAND NEW to Linux but try this:
open kppp, click on Setup, then the Devices tab. Is your "Modem device" set
to dev/modem? Mandrake seems to have a really hard time with that (and a
bunch of other things). Try setting this box to dev/ttyS0, then click the
Modem tab and click Query Modem. kppp will then try to talk to a modem on
dev/ttyS0. Obviously, if that's not where the modem is, it won't work. If
that's the case, try other settings under devices>Modem Device and Query
each time you make a change. (I'm wondering... you might have to click OK
and them come back into setup to query... anyone know the answer to this for
sure?) If you find one that works, try to connect to your ISP.
I had more trouble with kppp after I finished fighting the devs.... see my
posts "kppp disconnecting it's self: what does ^F mean?" and "To whom it may
concern: I finally got kppp working!" on comp.os linux.networking.
Please post a reply- I'd like to know what happens, good or bad :-)
Then maybe YOU can help ME (I can't get Netscape to work)
BTW, you said you're using Mandrake 6- I've installed it on 2 computers, an
can't get it to read a floppy on either of them. I'm convinced it's a
Mandrake problem, since some of my friend who are used to Red Hat couldn't
figure out what's wrong.
Happy Linuxing,
JW

But please don't remove time-stamps, because they are valuable in
diagnosing problems. Since you have been connected for 15 minutes after
that "^F", I think it is not related to this case. (Kppp always notices
you about control chars received). The real reason is that, pppd
received a HUP signal, which may be caused by physical connection loss.
If this happens rarely and intermittently I guess it is related to line
quality.

Open a terminal and ping your ISP (their IP address -> you can also see
it from "details" button of kppp after connection established)
Then ping your ISP by name. If you can ping by dotted numerical IP
address, but can't ping by name, then your name server settings must be
incorrect.
Related settings are (as I can remember):
- DNS addresses (only primary DNS would suffice)
- kppp "default route" option must be checked
If you can ping www.linux.org by name, but still can't use Netscape
then, Gulp! (It *must* work :)

See "man pppd" to see if your version supports "demand" option. If so,
you can use demand option, and start pppd upon system startup for the
effect you want. Note that there are other parameters related to demand
option (such as persistence, idle timeout etc.) See man pppd for them.
Otherwise, you will need to install and run diald daemon for demand
dialing, which is more complicated to setup AFAIK.

ok, I had a lot of problems with this too... the mount point
is where you want to put the free partition (it'll make a lot
more sense when you start using linux more). you say that the
free partition is the second partion on this disk, that would
make it hda2. you want to mount your "/" (root) directory on
hda2, so when you are asked for a mount point, you enter "/"
(without quotes). if you are asked for the (file system) type
of the drive, it should be ext2. you probabbly want to format
that partition to make sure that you'll be doing a clean
install...after that you should be home-free. essentially what
you are doing (if you were wondering) is telling the OS that
there is a drive that can be read from and written too. until
you "mount" the drive on some valid mount point in the file-
system, the OS has no idea about the drive. (windows and
whatnot do this too, they just do it a lot more subtly). hope
this helps. -peter

Date: Tue, 10 Aug 1999 23:46:11 GMT
Hello, I recently obtained a copy of Solaris 7 and installed it on an
x86 machine I have. It seems to work great however I have two problems
(so far).
First, I the machine has an Intel EtherExpress Pro 10+ ISA ethernet card
which says it's supported on the hcl. During installation the card
detected, was configured and seemed to work great. After the initial
reboot of the system which occurs after install the card ceased to
work. I come from a linux world and am giving Solaris a try on one of
my machines. My problem is that I can't get the card to redetect
again. Has anyone had problems with this card? I guess what I
primarily need is a brief difference of commands between linux and
solaris. For instance, what would be the equivalent command in solaris
if I entered the following commands in linux:
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.15 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
route add -net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth0
route add default gw 192.168.1.1 eth0
If an online reference or perhaps a book could be of assistance for this
kind of translation please let me know. Any and all resources in this
event will be appreciated.
For a little extra info, I have four machines. One is a
gateway/firewall with linux connected to a cable-modem. Two are linux
and the other is Solaris. I basically need/want my solaris machine to
share the cable modem connected through the gateway for net access.
This is my initial goal at least. Any assistance in this matter will be
appreciated. Thank you.

You have to make sure the ip addresses are in the same segment and that
the netmask are the same accross all your machines. In addition, you
should use the 192.168.x.x addressing scheme indicated for private
non-registered class C networks by internic. It's in one of the rfcs
but I'm not sure which one off hand. Anyway, basically if you have two
systems (or how many ever) you just need to make the ip's all within the
same segment. For example:
System A is 192.168.1.10 and System B is 192.168.1.199, both have the
netmask of 255.255.255.0 (this is normal mask). System A and System B,
if setup correctly, can now ping each other with response. You can now
edit the /etc/hosts file to include a name for the systems so that you
can ping sysa or sysb with the name instead of IP.

Date: Tue, 10 Aug 1999 18:17:55 -0600
Go into your netscape and Kmail programs even before you connect, and
make sure your settings are correct. You must put in EITHER, the domain
names, OR the actual IP addresses, for your POP mail server, to receive
your mail, Your smtp mail server, in order to RECEIVE your email, and
finally, your News server info to be able to use Usenet. You could
receive news posts without the SMTP being set, but you wouldn't be able
to POST anything.
Now, none of these services will work if your DNS nameserver information
is incorrect, in the Kppp settings. You don't neccessarily need to use
your isp's nameservers, but you do need to use valid nameservers, and
these MUST be in numerical form of 000.000.000.000, putting in the
valid info. And, it's a very good idea to put in at least two name
servers. You can get these from your ISP or going to their web site and
obtaining the info. In my case, I use 207.69.188.185 and
207.69.207.186
So, when you have dialed in to the isp, and you have been logged in, you
can open up a small terminal window on your desktop, and type the
following ping 000.000.000.000 using your DNS server numbers. If
you begin seeing returns stating times in milliseconds, that means that
you can "talk to" at least your isp's name server machines. Another
quick test you can do is to, on your Win machine, open up a dos windows
while connected tothe net, and type something like ping
www.wired.com or any other site you know is on. Write down the actual
IP address of the returns which come in. stop the pinging with the CTL
& Z or CTRL & X or CTRL & C
then anytime you're unsure about whether the settings for your Kppp are
correct, you can attempt to ping that IP address you wrote down, or you
can fire up the browser and type in
http://000.000.000.000
This completely BYPASSES the NEED for DNS. the ping command would be,
at a terminal window.
ping 000.000.000.000 using the actual numbers. This again BYPASSES the
NEED for DNS.
This way you can test whether the connection to ISP is good, and then
you can test if the DNS stuff is right.
You DO need to be in contact with Your ISP, to determine what kind of
user authentication they use. It could be PAP, or CHAP, or some other
combination, and might even include scripting of some kind. The
authentication is neccessary, so that you PASSWORD is never transmitted
during a login, in the unencrypted state, thus not vulnerable to packet
sniffer eavsdropping or other risks. Only your ISP knows what it's
login procedure and protocol are, and you can't possibly set up your
login "stuff" without this info.
That's why for nearly all of these diagnostics, minicom is TOTALLY
useless.
Check flashnet's web site for tips or more concrete info on their login
procedures, DNS servers, etc. Or email them at their support address
for more info. That way you can proceed more informed.
Best Regards.

Previously, I had the cable modem plugged directly into the hub along with
my three computers....... 1 Linux and 2 Win98 machines. All get dynamic
IP's........ unfortunately, all of which were on different networks!
Either way works great, but I prefer a little more security sitting behind
the Linux firewall.

I have no clue but a hunch that grepping the word "wedged" in
/usr/src/linux/drivers/net directory may reveal something.

I works for very well me with 25 users on an ADSL line. I am using RH
6.0 with the kernal reconfigured for IP-chains. You will need two
network cards (1 for DSL & 1 for your LAN)
