[Please don’t think that I’m being impatient in repeating this message, but I think I sent the first one before I had re-subscribed to the Mailing List]
Two questions: First, with the considerable – and crucial – help from a number of people on this mailing list, I managed to get my SpeedTouch 330 modem working with Kubuntu, using ‘The Linux Kernel SpeedTouch Driver for Ubuntu Hoary Hedgehog’ procedure. Now I wish to use my modem to connect to the internet with Yoper. I have been unable to find any ‘official Linux’ procedure to do this. I have tried a number of ‘unofficial’ schemes – all without success, and, in desperation, yesterday spent best part of three hours working my way through ‘The Linux Kernel SpeedTouch Driver on Linux from Scratch’. To be honest, I didn’t quite follow ALL of the procedure as, being a Linux novice, I chickened out of doing the 'kernel compiling' bit, as I wouldn't know what I was doing and would probably screw things up. Probably because of this, it didn't work. Does anyone know of a foolproof procedure which will enable me to access the internet using my SpeedTouch 330 modem with Yoper? Second, in desperation, I have been trying to use the 'Linux Kernel Speedtouch Driver for Ubuntu Warty Warthog' procedure to solve my problem on Yoper. Towards the end of this procedure, under the heading: ‘Tidying Up’, we are instructed to : ‘Open /etc/modules with a text editor: gedit /etc/modules Add these two entries…. ppp_generic pppoatm’ When I call up /etc/modules with a text editor, eg, vi, I cannot open it for editing. How can I add the two entries? On the other hand, am I wasting my time trying to use this procedure for Yoper? Thanks Fred -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
