Alright, I am having massive problems connecting to the internet with Debian. For some reason, it will NOT see my modem, no matter what the hell I do. It's a compatible modem (3CP2977) and should work fine. I'm 99% sure the IRQ and I/O port settings are correct along with the serial port. But for some damn reason it won't do jack. Just trying to do a test dial won't work. I type in echo atdt5555555 > /dev/ttyS2 And it hangs! I've tried reseting the IRQ, I/O port, and serial port numbers to all possible settings, and I've even set them in BIOS. Can someone, for the love of god, help me out :.puppydogface:.
grab pppconfig, and it will set it all up for you (including the symlink from your serial device to /dev/modem). im guessing your modem is supported by linux? run "lspci" and see if your modem is reconised how it should be etc. thanks, .icecube
Actually I fixed it. And yes, my modem works under linux (I hate winmodems). pppconfig sets up how you connect to the internet, not your modem. I had to use setserial. I eventually just locked the IRQ and I/O addresses in bios and disabled my second serial port so I can install my modem on that. Thanks though.
