-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Phil Deane Sent: 28 March 2003 20:38 To: ScotLUG Subject: [Scottish] Acaltel Speedtouch 330 USB
I have got the modem running well under slackware 9.0. Here is the steps I took to get it running. Regards Jay ------------------------- 1. Get the latest version of speedtouch from http://speedtouch.sourceforge.net; 2. tar -zxvf the download file and cd into the speedtouch-x.x.x directory; 3. Follow the instructions (basically configure, make, make install). This will create the necessary pppoa3, pppoa2 and modem_run binaries and will install them into their default directories. I recommend that you use the pppoa3 binary, by the way - in fact the "adsl" config file below will only work successfully with pppoa3 in its default location of /usr/bin. 4. Get either the alcaudsl.sys file or the mgmt.o binary from your Windows system usually from C:\windows\system\ directory and copy it somewhere sensible on your Linux system. I use mgmt.o and tend to copy it to /usr/local/sbin, together with the modem_run binary mentioned above. (The script in section 6 assumes you'll do the same, if not change the path to these two binaries to reflect where you copy them.) 5. Create a file called /etc/ppp/peers/adsl (copy and paste the following, replacing [EMAIL PROTECTED] with your details) Please note that, where they apply, the "" are necessary: debug kdebug 1 noipdefault defaultroute pty "/usr/bin/pppoa3 -c -m 1 -vpi 0 -vci 38" sync user "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" novjccomp noaccomp nopcomp nomagic noccp asyncmap 0 usepeerdns holdoff 4 persist maxfail 25 lcp-echo-interval 0 lcp-echo-failure 25 6. Create another file called "adslon" (or whatever) by copying and pasting the following. [This script initialises the USB subsystem and loads the modules necessary for it - and ppp to work] #!/bin/bash modprobe usbcore modprobe usb-uhci sleep 5 modprobe n_hdlc mount none /proc/bus/usb -t usbdevfs /usr/local/sbin/modem_run -m -f /usr/local/sbin/alcaudsl.sys modprobe ppp_synctty modprobe ppp_generic This script should be installed in /sbin and made executable as root: chmod +x /sbin/adslon In addition, make sure the following entries appear in /etc/modules.conf (if not, type them in): alias tty-ldisc-3 ppp_async alias ppp-compress-26 ppp_deflate alias tty-ldisc-13 n_hdlc alias ppp-compress-21 bsd_comp probeall usb-interface usb-uhci alias ppp-compress-24 ppp_deflate alias char-major-108 ppp_generic alias tty-ldisc-14 ppp_synctty alias usb-interface0 usb-uhci alias /dev/ppp ppp_generic 7. Edit /etc/ppp/options to read thus: lock noauth noipdefault usepeerdns 8. Edit /etc/ppp/chap-secrets to read thus (change user string and password to match your BT Internet logon details): [EMAIL PROTECTED] * PassWord 9. Finally, create a symbolic link from /etc/resolv.conf to /etc/ppp/resolv.conf: ln -s /etc/ppp/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf 10. If you do all this then I think you're ready to go, thus: a) Initialise the modem (su to root): /sbin/adslon The modem should flash a few times b) Start the pppoA connection (again as su root): pppd call adsl That’s you all done :) _______________________________________________ Scottish mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/scottish --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
