need help config US Robotics modem
I have a US Robotics 2977 modem, my computer wont reconize it can you help me set it up.
I'm running Knoppix of fa bootable disk and my defualt operating system is win98
-
The first thing to do is trouble shoot hardware.
Does it work at all in windows? Does the computer see it at all?
At boot time, a screen should come up that has a list of devices, at this point you can hit the pause button and view them. If there's nothing there, you probably have "Plug-and-play OS" disabled in your bios.
If it's a pci modem, you can try: This should give you a list of all pci devices. If your modem shows up there, then the computer see's it, and it's probably a software problem. Otherwise, you most likely have a dead modem

If it's a hardware modem, you should be able to set it up and test it in kppp.
If it's a winmodem, start at: limodems.org

The Modem works fine with win 98 which is my defualt operating system.
When I boot Knoppix I see the list of devices but there is no modem in that list.
how do I turn on the Plug and Play OS?
Thanks

If it's a hardware modem, it is treated like a serial port, and you should be able to select it as something like dev/ttyS2 in kppp. You can test it with kppp with the quirey modem button.

When I query modem, it goes for a couple seconds then says modem query timed out.

type "cat /proc/pci"
Bus 0, device 10, function 0:
Serial controller: US Robotics/3Com 56K FaxModem Model 5610 (rev 1).
IRQ 5.
I/O at 0xa000 [0xa007].
type "dmesg | grep ttyS"
ttyS00 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
ttyS01 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A
ttyS04 at port 0xa000 (irq = 5) is a 16550A
type "lspci -v"
00:0a.0 Serial controller: US Robotics/3Com 56K FaxModem Model 5610 (rev 01) (prog-if 02 [16550])
Subsystem: US Robotics/3Com USR 56k Internal FAX Modem (Model 2977)
Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 5
I/O ports at a000 [size=8]
Capabilities: <available only to root>
with the above info (gathered from your computer) use the following tips to make KPPP work [assuming a hard drive install of knoppix]:
setserial -v /dev/ttyS4 uart 16550A port 0xa000 irq 5
add above line to:
/etc/init.d/setserial
where do put this?
ln -s /dev/ttyS4 /dev/modem
these two lines seem to work in .login
su
assword
ln -s /dev/ttyS4 /dev/modem
in KPPP choose /dev/modem and voila, KPPP will now dial your ISP
notes below are for ppp via console:
cd /etc
wvdialconf [auto creation of wvdial.conf]
/etc/wvdial.conf
sample wvdial.conf follows:
[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/ttyS4
Baud = 57600
Init = ATZ
Init2 = AT S11=50
Phone = xxx-xxxx
Username = xxxxxxx
Password = xxxxxxx
[Dialer phone2]
Phone = 555-4243
[Dialer shh]
Init3 = ATM0
[Dialer pulse]
Dial Command = ATDP
after your wvdial.conf is set type "wvdial"

>where do put this?
>ln -s /dev/ttyS4 /dev/modem
>these two lines seem to work in .login
>su
assword
>ln -s /dev/ttyS4 /dev/modem
opps, this seems like a mistake in that once a symbolic link is created it remains.
so, all you have to type is:
su
assword
ln -s /dev/ttyS4 /dev/modem
no need to put it into your .login
