[CentOS] USB modem on centos

2008-05-27 Thread Jerry Geis

I am playing with a USR (us robotics) USB modem model 5637.
in the past I used internal modems and had no issues.
One this unit I plugged it in, dmesg says its recogized.
I did ln -s /dev/ttyACM0 /dev/ttyS4 this works.
I then did cu -l /dev/ttyS4 type AT and I get OK... looking good.

When I ATDT my number I get a connection at 1200 baud (which I should)
and funny characters... I thought looks like a parity thing.
I then did cu -e -l /dev/ttyS4 type AT and I get OK...
Now when I do ATDT my number I get a connection at 1200 baud and
I get readable characters.

In the past internal PCI modems I never had to do anything special, just 
the cu -l /dev/ttyS4.
I thought modem to modem handled all that speed/parity stuff and 
computer to modem just always worked

given the correct baud rate.

Does anyone know what the issue might be here. The reason I am asking is 
my program
that talks to the modems (computer to modem) has always been setup for 8 
data no parity
and has always worked. When I use my program on the USB modem it is not 
working and I
assumed from the parity issue above using cu to demonstrate. When I 
change my program

to be 7 data bits and even parity it still did not work.

Was wondering if anyone had any USB modem experience on centos and might 
know what is

going on?

Thanks,

Jerry

Why don't you try a different Init String like ATF. It maybe a driver
issue also. You may need a ndis wrapper. Also it should be 8 none 1 Usb
modems and for that fact NIC card  don't really get along so good in Linux.
