[speedtouch] Re: LinuxConsole + Speed touch USB
Hi Yann, I think you will find that the problem is that the file /etc/ppp/peers/adsl refers to the program /usr/local/sbin/pppoa3 which does not exist. This program forms part of the user space driver, I guess you forgot to install it. I hope this helps, Duncan. PS: The pon script detects the modem twice - seems pointless.

[speedtouch] Re: How do I set up my Speedtouch
Hello Paul, I left all these CRC problems behind me when I purchased a USB PCI with OPTi chipset on it. The VIA chipset present on my GA-VAXP mother board always gave these CRC errors. I have the modem_run command in my /etc/rc.d/rc.local file (Mandrake 9.0, I don't know what this file is on SlackWare). These lines were added: modprobe ppp_generic modprobe ppp_synctty modprobe n_hdlc /usr/local/sbin/modem_run -e 1 -m -f /windows/E/Linux/adsl/alcaudsl.sys You see that I use the alcaudsl.sys in stead of mgmt.o Should not make much of a difference I heard. You can also see the the option e -1 is part of the command, though this seems not to be neccesary in later version of the speedtouch programs. I still use the CVS from 19-11-2002 and a patch for this option -e. Never change a winning team. I have no automatic startup of adsl, but use commands adslstart and adslstop, that are present in /usr/bin. /usr/bin/adslstart contains this line: /usr/sbin/pppd call adsl /usr/bin/adslstop contains this line : /usr/bin/killall pppoa3 pppd To be able to use pppd and pppoa3 as a normal user, you must make yourself member of a group that is allowed to use them. First see to it that a new group (I named it modem) is added: groupadd modem Then your account must be linked to it: usermod -G modem your_account_name Some settings must be made for command pppd: cd /usr/sbin chown root:modem pppd (suppose pppd is indeed in /usr/sbin) chmod 4750 pppd Same procedure for pppoa3. As far as firewalls are concerned: I may still be a newbie in the field of USB ADSL, but in the field of firewalls I am an absolute morone.

Finally managed it through setting the right vci and vpi settings and the correct domain and nameserver settings for my ISP in the resolv.conf. I still have an issue and some questions though. 1) In my syslog i'm getting the output ' pppoa3 [num] : CRC error in AAL5 frame'. I'm assuming something needs tweaking. 2) Each time I log on I have to run the modem_run and pppd call commands to get a connection and I also need to be logged on as root. Can this be setup in a start-up file and available from any user account ? 3) How can I disconnect the line if I want ? 4) Can anyone point me to information about setting up my firewall ? Many thanks for all your help.

I had this exact issue and was using the alcaudsl.sys file supplied with my modem's Windows drivers. Switching to the mgmt.o microcode fixed the problem. http://download.ethomson.com/download/speedmgmt.tar.gz extract the mgmt.o file from here.It gets called as an argument to the modem_run command, so tweak that to test it. hopefully this will work regards Martin -- Martin Howitt [EMAIL PROTECTED] Liste de diffusion modem ALCATEL SpeedTouch USB Pour se désinscrire : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Ok Liste de diffusion modem ALCATEL SpeedTouch USB Pour se désinscrire : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] After about 6 days my flood of frame errors and the inability to surf using PPPOA3 have vanished as mysteriously as they appeared. That's a clumsy figure of speech, I admit - the errors only appeared after my ISP did maintenance and upgrades. At my ISP I have learned that upgrades is synonymous with outage, but normally it's confined to email and nntp problems. Thanks for all your help and for the speedtouch software which I have used for almost 2 years now. I will be moving on to pppoe because USB based hardware just doesn't seem to be reliable (needs resetting frequently compared to ethernet to ethernet connections) , but for nearly 2 years speedtouch has been essential software for me at home and I've appreciated the project's existence greatly. thanks, ~/j.
