Hello, First, please forgive my ignorance about this. I am not that familiar with USB supports and modules, so please bear with me. I am learning.
I have a cell-phone with high-speed internet connection, and USB data cable from the cell phone (it's a Sprint Vision phone, FYI). I am trying to use it as a modem in linux, following the instruction in this website: http://www.natecarlson.com/linux/sanyo-4900.php Basically, I think I just need to established ppp connection with the phone. So, I enabled hotplug by doing: # /sbin/hotplug usb Plugging in the USB cable from my phone, I got the following from /var/log/messages: Jan 27 15:03:33 voyager kernel: hub.c: USB new device connect on bus2/1, assigned device number 5 Jan 27 15:03:33 voyager kernel: usbserial.c: PL-2303 converter detected Jan 27 15:03:33 voyager kernel: usbserial.c: PL-2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB0 (or usb/tts/0 for devfs) Jan 27 15:03:36 voyager /etc/hotplug/usb.agent: Setup pl2303 for USB product 67b/2303/202 If you look at the website I mentioned above, I should get the message that the phone is recognized as an ACM device (whatever that is), and got message something like this: Nov 5 19:35:33 knight /etc/hotplug/usb.agent: Setup acm for USB product 474/701/0 Nov 5 19:35:33 knight kernel: usb.c: registered new driver acm Nov 5 19:35:33 knight kernel: ttyACM0: USB ACM device Nov 5 19:35:33 knight kernel: acm.c: v0.21:USB Abstract Control Model driver for USB modems and ISDN adapters As I said, I am not sure what ACM is. But when I tried to do # pppd call sprint it always end with connect script failed (the scripts are all provided in the website above). I am wondering if this is because I don't have ACM support. So my question, do I need ACM support to be able to use my phone as USB modem? Does Redhat 7.3 has ACM support in the default kernel that ship with it? Thanks a lot for any information and help.
