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
suassword
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"

opps, this seems like a mistake in that once a symbolic link is created it remains.
so, all you have to type is:
suassword
ln -s /dev/ttyS4 /dev/modem
no need to put it into your .login
