Hi Merry Xmas I have finally installed Mandrake 8.0 PowerPack. SuSE finds my Genius GM56flex-V Rockwell modem no prob, Mandrake (as usual) 8.0 nogo. I set it up when i installed MDK, it said ok, when i tried dialing with kppp i was pleasantly surprised when it started up, i stoped it before it connected. But i found when i later tried to connect it would only start to connect then stop and start again over and over. The modem is a isa pnp with dip s/w. I can't access the modem as root.
I have a PS/2 Mouse. I have a isapnp sound card that works ok. I looked thro all the info i have (a lot) but nothing, i changed some settings in kppp, made no diff. I tried Control centre wizard and lost all access to the modem, kppp now tells me the modem is busy. I changed a few files - /etc/ppp/options - resolv.conf, made no diff. mandrake setserial /dev/modem UART:, Port: 0x03e8, IRQ: 4 ls -al /dev/modem ---> /dev/ttyS2 I changed it to setserial /dev/modem UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03e8, IRQ: 4 made no diff. suse /dev/ttyS2, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03e8, IRQ: 4 win com 03 03e8 irq 4 Is there no minicom in MDK 8?. Also is there no pico in MDK 8? (my favourite editor). Have a good Xmas everbody. Cheers Trevor
