MODEM
-----
Recently, I have installed knoppix (version 3.1-12-12-2002) on hdd. After that, I have downloaded a convenient driver for my "windmodem"(driver: pctel-0.96) and installed it on my computer. further information for the driver/modem:
http://pctelcompdb.sourceforge.net/

my modem: HSP56 world micromodem, chipset: pct789
http://pctelcompdb.sourceforge.net/v...s.php?id_no=47

In Mandrake 8.2 my modem is working without any problems; there I used the pctel-0.94 driver. But I wasn´t able to install the driver on my knoppix system successfully. (maybe some problems with the kernel?)

I hope,the following information might be helpful:

I tried to connect to my provider with wvdial: (file created by wvdial.conf)

[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/modem
Baud = 115200
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
ISDN = 0
Dial Command = ATDT
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Phone = 0191011
Username = 123456790
Password = *****

OUTPUT:
------------
-->Wvdial : Internet Dialer Version 1.53
PCTel Initialization. Country code = 0
-->Initializing modem
-->Sending: ATZ
ATZ
OK
-->Modem initialized.
-->Sending:ATDT0191011
-->Waiting for carrier.
ATDT0191011
Connect 48000
-->Carrier detected.Waiting for prompt.
-->Connected but carrier signal lost! Retrying...
-->Sending: ATDT0191011
-->Waiting for Carrier
NO CARRIER

After "NO CARRIER" the dialing process restarts, the modem tries to connect again some times, but without success?!
