How to find out what my modem connection speed is?
Hi, I finally worked out how to pon to specific providers using pon provider name How do I find out what my connection speed is? I had deleted /var/log/ppp.log earlier assuming that it will be recreated by what ever program but that didn't happen. Will creating a blank file do the trick. Sincerely, Chui Tey
Re: How to find out what my modem connection speed is?
I finally worked out how to pon to specific providers using pon provider name How do I find out what my connection speed is? Well, for *starters*, you need to make sure that your modem is reporting the DCE speed (the speed it's talking to the other modem at) and not the DTE speed (the speed it's talking to your computer at). Some modems only do the DCE speed, while others have an AT command that you can use to switch. If the modem returns the DTE speed, it will always say CONNECT 115200 or whatever... even if you have a 14.4k modem... which is amusing... the first few times, anyway. I had deleted /var/log/ppp.log earlier assuming that it will be recreated by what ever program but that didn't happen. Will creating a blank file do the trick. If the pppd is running as a user that does not have privledges to write to /var/log, then you'll need to create an empty ppp.log file that they do have permissions to write to. Also, you probably need to put the debug directive in your options file. Even then, it might not work. On a couple of my systems, nothing ever seems to get written to the ppp.log file. They get rotated every now and then, but pppd never uses them. The logs end up going into syslog. - Joe

Now I'm getting 26400 out of this 28800 modem, much better than the 19200 I was getting.
Re: Modem connection speed
Hi all, After running into this same problem, and asking on this list for answers, I think I may be able to give others some help now. First, what speed are you connecting at? As reported in another post or two, it is easy to make your system save the modem connect speed in its own file. Mine saves each connection speed to a file called /etc/ppp/speed. To do this, using a debian 2.0 system, go to your /etc/chatscripts directory and modify the file for your provider. It will be named, what ever you named it when you ran the pppconfig program. In this example, mine is called cp1. Add REPORT CONNECT, without the quotes, as the first line in the file. Change the ATZ line to ATW2. While this is not the best, because it needs a reset somewhere, it will do for now. Later we will change the line again. My cp1 file now looks like this; REPORT CONNECT ABORT BUSY ABORT NO CARRIER ABORT VOICE ABORT NO DIALTONE ABORT NO ANSWER ATW2 OK ATDT1234567 CONNECT \d\c Now change to the /etc/ppp/peers directory and edit the file, again named as above when you created it. In this file, find the line starting with connect and to the end, but inside the quote mark, add -r /etc/ppp/speed. My new line looks like this; connect /usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/chatscript/cp1 -r /etc/ppp/speed #pppconfig_connect Now each time you connect to your ISP with the pon program, i.e. pon xxx, you will be able to check your speed by reading the end of the /etc/ppp/speed file. Next, lets fine tune our modem init strings. I asked, on this list and recv'd one reply, which suggested that I use a program called wvdial. This program can be gotten in deb format from http://www.worldvisions.ca/wvdial. When installed it will run the wvdialconf program. This program will query your modem for the best settings. Not sure how it does it, but it came up with a long string of parameters to be passed to my modem after init. I didn't write down that long string, but it is also written to a file called /etc/wvdial.conf. What you need is the Init2 string. In order to use it, you will need to modify your init file which is stored in the /etc/chatscripts/cp1. My new one now looks like this; REPORT CONNECT ABORT BUSY ABORT NO CARRIER ABORT VOICE ABORT NO DIALTONE ABORT NO ANSWER ATZ OK ATQ0 OK ATV1 OK ATE1 OK ATS0=0 OK ATC1 OK ATD2 OK ATS11=55 OK AT+FCLASS=0 OK ATW2 OK ATDT1234567 CONNECT \d\c This much longer file resets the modem and then sends each string to the modem, waiting for an OK each time. Now my modem connects and reports a connect speed much faster than I ever got before. I can also see an improvement in download speed when using netscape. Hopefully, this will help many of you tune up your system for a better connection. Any questions, feel free to contact me. Patrick [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Modem connection speed
Windows is doing something extra with modems. I upgraded from a motorola 28.8 to a hayes 56k v.90 (externals). Now I would expect that any two external modems would look about the same to the computer. Infact I had to do NOTHING to get linux to dial out and connect to my ISP with the new modem. But my windows machine (two computers sharing a modem with a switch box. But when linux uses the modem, the windows machine has access via the lan) detected that there was a new modem attached (had the modem powered up before the computer), and asked to install the new drivers. Then when I tried to dial out to my ISP it gave the error message (can't find the modem). H, I found the dialup network properties for my ISP connection and changed the setting from motorola modemsurfer to hayes and then it worked. So windows must query the modem first to find out what it is, and then do some special stuff. Maybe I should borrow a line montitor from work and see what the two of them are talking about! == Just recently there was a posting here that said they got better connection speed in Win95 than in Linux.

Use ctl-c to exit when done. Only if your modem is configured to report it; most Rockwells aren't by default. Something like ATW2S95=47 suits me; it also reports the compression and error correction protocols negotiated.

Re: modem connection speed
How can I tell at what speed I am connecting to my ISP under linux? Check your modem manual. There is an AT command that will tell your modem to report not the DTE port speed (the speed of the interface between your serial port and the modem itself), but the actual carrier speed--the speed of the modem to modem connection. I'm not sure how to tell the ppp daemon or chatscript to tell you that but if you call them using minicom, it will report the speed when the connection occurs...or, it will report whichever the modem has been commanded to report, I should say. Here, if you've told it to report the actual carrier speed, thats what you'll see. Paul
