Its working beautifully on open suse, except for when it redials after connection is reset by telco( for some reason they say "traffic"). havent figured out to fix that yet. This is how i made it work. #1 start tail -f var/log/messgaes on one of the terminals #2 insert the USB modem. #3 check #1 for vendor and product ids if recognized. #4 give modprobe usbserial module using command and parameters vendor and productid eg : modprobe - v usbserial vendor=0X056C product=0x7000 #5 start pppd service, in opensuse it would be smpppd eg: smpppd -d #6 use kppp to start dialing to modem. configure the number to be dialed provided by telco. We are using usb to serial module here to dial to usb modem. Anybody has any ideas on the failure case. When modem does a redial, i see some commands being passed in the modem terminal. But connection does not get established. Am i missing something here? Regards, Umesh -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
