Which one? You need to specifiy modem brand/model and network provider to see if other have got that particular one working. Also check the Linux crowd (Ubuntu in particular) and then extrapolate to FBSD. I have a Huawei E1820 and I am in KE, using Safaricom. Someone can point me to a recent document detailing the steps. I have PC-BSD 9 on my laptop. Usually it's just a question of making the kernel mount the tty and the dial using something like wvdial. If it's popular and supported it's pretty easy, if not is still possible. Supporting the modem is usually a two layer problem first solving the multi-device problem on the USB bus, that is, selecting the correct device available (i.e. selecting the modem instead of the flash that contains the windows software), and then the actual kernel or userspace driver for that specific device (ZTE, Enfora, etc.). Luckily, I already disabled the flash/virtual CD-ROM that the modem contains. I got the AT string combo to do this. I also have one ZTE dongle that I don't want to talk about because I haven't managed to find a way to disable the virtual CD-ROM it contains. Ultimately, you get a serial modem and you just have to use AT command to dial, etc. and wvdial does a great job and it's quite easy to set-up and run. You know, sometimes all this process is what makes people shy off of *BSD. I am a diehard lover of FreeBSD, but the few times I have installed Linux on my laptop, this whole process was a breeze... well, not quite, but not as difficult as it is in FreeBSD. Luckily, I use WiFi more than I use 3G, so it's never quite bothered me. Even now, I just want to see how easy it can be on PC-BSD/FreeBSD, with a GUI to boot, if there is, but I do not feel it is such a big necessity for me, because I have D-Link DIR-825 which can use this modem on it's USB port and allow me to use 3G. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I can't hear you -- I'm using the scrambler.

The FreeBSD u3g driver ¶¶
Introduction ¶¶
This driver supports 3G (UMTS, HSDPA, HSUPA, HSPA) cards that provide
access to one or more serial ports through a USB interface, providing
PPP and AT command channels simultaneously. Some devices provide
access to multiple pairs of channels for integrated GPS', or other
access methods (Option HSO driver).
Transfer speeds should be above 30k on a good UMTS connection and a
fast server:
% curl -o /dev/null ftp://ftp.nl.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ls-lR.gz
% Total% Received % Xferd Average Speed TimeTime Time

12 19.9M 12 2486k0 0 40203 0 0:08:39 0:01:03 0:07:36
43921
Some (older) devices (from Sierra for example) provide 1 serial port
through a normal serial port or the normal serial USB drivers. They
usually support the ETSI / 3GPP 27.010 3GPPMultiplexProtocol, making
it possible to open a AT command channel and a PPP connection channel
simultaneously. A basic implementation which works on an Option
Globetrotter GPRS card is available. Contact me for details.
Verified to work ¶¶
See the man page.
Installation instructions ¶¶
The driver is available in both FreeBSD 7 and FreeBSD 8. The one in
FreeBSD 8 and up was written by Hans Petter Selasky. Consult
freebsd-usb@… for more information and bug reports.
The driver from FreeBSD 7 should be usable on FreeBSD 6, without too
many changes. You will need to patch ucom.c though with the attached
patch (see below).
Tricks ¶¶
To start your connection automatically use something like the
following snippet in your devd.conf:
attach 100 {
device-name ucom[0-9]+;
match vendor 0x12d1;
match product 0x1003;
action /usr/sbin/ppp -ddial kpn;
};
Some people have been able to get their device to successfully switch
from driver mode to modem mode using usb_modeswitch. You can compile
it on !FreeBSD with
cc -L /usr/local/lib -I/usr/local/include -lusb -o usb_modeswitch
usb_modeswitch.c
if you have libusb installed. The mass storage devices the devices
present should be available through ugen. Note that umass must not be
present in your kernel nor as a module (or it should be made to ignore
these devices).
To see signal strength for example while online:
Start ppp (See also PPPFor3GModems).
prolly that could help.
I read this, but one thing I am sure about is that those details need to be
changed to reflect what I have on my system.
But I'm trying to see if there is an easier way out.

Even now, I just want to see how easy it can be on PC-BSD/FreeBSD, with a GUI to boot, if there is, but I do not feel it is such a big necessity for me, because I have D-Link DIR-825 which can use this modem on it's USB port and allow me to use 3G. It used to be like that in Linux as well. It's only until recently that the netowrk manager app supports 3g modems. The problem is when these graphical apps fail you have virtually no way to see what's going on, just plug and pray. If you get the tty, using Wvdial is actuall much easier than any other dialing/ppp tool I've ever used.

USB modems for SMS
Hello. I'm in need of an USB modem, which I'll only use for sending and receiving via SMS and I'm looking for suggestions on which hardware to buy.

So if your using 10Mbps, you end up generating 10 separate packets versus 1 packet at 100Mbps to move the same amount of data. This results in a network using 10Mbps to have more administrative overhead that a network using 100Mbps. This overhead on a heavily used network results in longer lag times in receiving replies. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

old modems?
Greetings to all, I just upgraded my old IBM 300PL from FreeBSD 4.2 - FreeBSD 6.1. Everything works, as before EXCEPT my old USRobotics 33.6 modem (with jumpers). 6.1 doesn?t seem to find or recognize the modem. It is set to com1, IRQ4. KPPP finds the modem sometimes, like after a complete powerdown then restart ? but does not initialize it or dial the numbers. What I?m wondering is if this modem is too old for 6.1 to deal with. And, if so, what kind of modem is BEST for 6.1. I know this would be a question for ?newbies? but alas, ?newbies? does not exist now-a-days. Please help, and thank you in advance.

RE: usb modems
The FBSD 4.9 install system has drivers for most of the Nic cards and modems in use today, so there is no need to recompile the kernel unless you have some piece of hardware not covered by the GENERIC kernel. If your usb phone modem is an winmodem it will not work with FBSD period. Winmodem are manufactured specially for MS/Windows systems. Install FBSD and when completed, halt your FBSD system and then power off, plug in usb modem, and power on. Review the boot log /var/run/dmesg.boot file looking for message that your modem was found, if found use 'user ppp' to dial your isp and login for you to gain internet access. If your usb modem is found as (unknown) you are SOL, (sh_t out of luck). Get your self an real serial com port external modem. They work with out any fuss. That's the easiest way for an newbe.

(a perfectly standard serial interface) There is a standard GSM AT command set but each manufacturer might have their own quirks and special commands for battery life(!), etc etc. I mention battery life: your average cellphone should have a serial interface available and hence a console for AT commands. The components related to GSM comms are quite generic between cellphones and GSM modems and your results should be the same. Almost all available modems should be perfectly acceptable, you can also try a cell phone+serialdata cable. At my company we use siemens tc35 modems slaved to 8-port serial cards (comtrol octacable things) for SMS service testing. We haven't had any problems since we started using them three years ago.

These days I'd say go with an external modem or find an ISA modem. If you're determined to pay only $20, I'd try to find a used one. Check with local computer companies that do a lot of upgrades. They probably have boxes full of stuff they'll eventually throw away.

There are several different ways to deliver DSL service (Even with the same form of xDSL), and therefore you will need to ensure that your DSL modem is compatible for the local ILEC's gear (Which is what determines compatibility, not your ISP's gear, as your ILEC, not necessarily the ISP, provides the DSLAM which the DSL circuit temrinates on) Adam ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I thing you shouldn't have problem with PPPoE connections because allmost all ADSL modems support PPPoE. The modem there we have in the most enterprise clients without problem is the Alcatel Speed Touch Pro working as a bridge. We alse have many DLink modems in the home clients without problem and we also have a enterprise client with a 3Com Office Connect working as a router with ports redirect.

I don't think any USB ADSL modems are supported but I could be wrong. Try to get them to give you an ethernet version. Most anything that connects by ethernet would be supported.

I have done some reading and you are right. I can't see any USB ADSL supported modems... there are some Alcatels but people are having probs with them. If I understand correctly the Ethernet ADSL modems aren't dependant on host drivers. Am I correct? Does that mean that I can use them under fbsd? Can you give me some guidelines? sorry for the stupid questions - still new to ADSL .. and the info on the net is so much, difficult to grasp from the first time. thanx - Original Message - From: taxman [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: DJ Boris [EMAIL PROTECTED]; freebsd-questions [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, March 23, 2003 7:32 PM Subject: Re: supported USB ADSL modems On Sunday 23 March 2003 11:00 am, DJ Boris wrote: hi there, where can I find out what USB ADSL modems are supported by freeBSD.

Well if they were supported, they would most likely be listed in the hardware page for your release listed on the FreeBSD homepage. I don't think any USB ADSL modems are supported but I could be wrong. Try to get them to give you an ethernet version. Most anything that connects by ethernet would be supported. They may tell you they can't, but if you press them, they almost always have some ethernet hardware available.

Anything that presents an Ethernet connection is simply going to be accessed by a normal Ethernet card in your PC, and you shouldn't have any trouble getting one of them to work. ;) I believe that ADSL might need something PPPoE to login to your provider, but FreeBSD's PPP support should provide that no problem.

Re: supported USB ADSL modems
Hi there, The speed touch modem is supported and last time I used it the pppoA port was good for the job. I seem to remember having some useful stuff kicking around, how to's etc. I'll have a look when I get home later. The Modem it's self however is petty unreliable over time and I found that I needed a cron job to disconnect and reconnect every night. Although Kernel PPP (user PPP does not do pppoA to my knowledge) does allow for a persistant connection, it seems that the modem just crashes sometimes and the only solution is to power down the USB port or restart the host machine. Hope this helps.

They may tell you they can't, but if you press them, they almost always have some ethernet hardware available. I believe there is support for Alcatel SpeedTouch modems using net/pppoa from ports. I've no experience with it however. If you ask me an ethernet interface is always better for networking tasks. You may also be interested to know that Bruce Simpson [EMAIL PROTECTED] is working on a driver for the Efficent Networks SpeedStream 3060 line of xDSL PCI Cards. The driver isn't working yet but you can contact him for details about helping him test it. Cheers. Andrew.

Support for USB cable modems?
I have an RCA cable modem provided to me by ATT Broadband and out of the same curiosity clinically proven lethal to the average domestic feline, I was wondering if I can use the USB interface with FreeBSD. ugen picks up the device as, Thomson Consumer Electronics Thomson RCM245 Cable Modem, rev 1.00/26.00. The device doesn't seem to be attached by if_aue, if_cue, or if_kue. To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

It might be possible that all is needed is some tweak or bit of information added to one of the existing USB ethernet drivers.

Re: Multitech modems
althought I always use usr modems, any non winmodem should work, externals are safer in a lot of ways. Brian On Thu, 12 Dec 2002, [ISO-8859-1] Tuomas Pellonperä wrote: Hi! I hope this list is the right medium to ask this question. If not, please notify me. Are Multitech Modems, both internal and external, (ZPX 56K ZPXE 56K) known to work with FreeBSD without any problems? According to Linux Hardware Compatibility HOW-TO and Modem-HOWTO, they work fine with GNU/Linux, which made me figure that they work with FreeBSD as well. Am I wrong? Thank you for your time!

modems load balancing
Could somebody advise me where can I find the port or package to balance loads of two modems attached to my FreeBSD system? I have to provide connection to ISP server through two telephone lines with dynemic balancing between them depending of load od each. Thanks in advance. Dmitry
