Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-ppp
I'm trying to connect with a US Robotics 5610B. I have two of them. I'm an old hand at Linux and dial-up; have four USR 5686 externals and go online daily with one or more externals. ISP is frys.com, it works with Linux. I can get online with the 5610B, but it's not simple. - Using terminal, sudo wvdial has to probe ports every time. It finds the USR 5610 at ttyS1 and dials out. - Using terminal and pppconfig, I either have to rebuild the dialer and ask it to find the modem, or I can just keep typing "pon", then "plog" then "poff" three or four times. I get error messages about device ttyS1 locked by pid ###, then suddenly it connects. - Using gnome-ppp, it never finds the modem at all, until I use either of the above methods, then close that dialer, then start gnome-ppp and it will dial. If I shut off the PC, or even close gnome-ppp and restart it, the modem disappears again and I have to run either wvdial or gnome-ppp to reacquire. A couple of threads I started... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1399314 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1397947 This is on Karmic.
