Help configuring dial up lucent win modem...

[rrfish72]

I have all the necessary modules to use a agere/lucent win modem but I cannot seem to get it configured. When I try connect with kppp it says modem ready then initializing modem.... and sits there forever with nothing happening.

I've tried dev/ttyS0 & 1 give the same message but /dev/ttyS3 & 4 give the message that the modem is busy. I know that the modem is connected to com3 in XP and I've read that this corresponds to ttyS2. What does the /dev/modem actually point to? Don't know what to think. Please help.

Look here: http://www.heby.de/ltmodem and elsewhere by googling. If you have the correct modules loaded the modem should be at /dev/ttyLT0 or somesuch.

This is what was done:

mknod /dev/ttyLT0 c 62 64
chmod a+rw /dev/ttyLT0
ln -sf /dev/ttyLT0 /dev/modem
insmod -f /KNOPPIX/lib/modules/2.6.10-kanotix-5/other/ltmodem.ko
insmod -f /KNOPPIX/lib/modules/2.6.10-kanotix-5/other/ltserial.ko

This comes from this kanotix post:
http://kanotix.mipooh.net/viewtopic.php?t=1824

I see that the symlink to /dev/ttyLT0 was set and have tried that but to no avail.

When these go through there is a heap of errors:

insmod -f /KNOPPIX/lib/modules/2.6.10-kanotix-5/other/ltmodem.ko
insmod -f /KNOPPIX/lib/modules/2.6.10-kanotix-5/other/ltserial.ko

I will try the the dpkg -i method to see if that goes through without any glitches.
Thanks for the link.

Thanks Rusty. I checked to see if /dev/modem was symlinked to /dev/ttyLT0 and it was not. Once I did that and slowed the connection speed down it went right through.
