My 56k Modem isn't working in Knoppix! :(

[Enoch Chan]

Hi! I just downloaded knoppix and tried it. I was trying to go online, but it doesn't seem to work. Can someone tell me if there is any way to configure Knoppix to make my modem dial to my ISP and connect to the internet? Thanks! :roll:

Drivers that are provided by the manufacturer:

is your modem a winmodem (http://www.linmodems.org/) ?

What have you done so far? Have you run pppconfig?

Yeah i am using a winmodem, and i just downloaded Knoppix yesterday. I only know how to use some of the stuff inside. But my modem wouldn't work with Knoppix. Can you help me? :wink:

Ooops... my modem is not a winmodem. I sorta misunderstood the word winmodem. I thought winmodem means that modem with driver that only works on Windows. Mine is actually an plug and play.

Please post the exact type of Modem, not just the brand, but the chipset. The instructions on linmodems.org tell you how to do this.

Thanks for trying to help! :D I already fix the problem with the shell script that mattT gave me. The script created the S4 port for my PCI modem. Again, thanks for trying to help!

Perhaps you could post the script here so people searching the forum will find the solution to the problem in this thread.

Log in as root, open the bash shell and type the script in.


cd /dev
./MAKEDEV ttyS4
ln -s ttyS4 modem
chmod 777 modem
chmod 777 ttyS4
