[PLUG] Modem Problem


Hello,

 

I have Fedora 2 on a Gateway Pentium III and an using a US Robotics 56K Fax modem (model# 5686) but I cannot connect to

the internet. I tried to configure via KPPP and the Internet Wizard but was not able to.

 

I know the following:

 

            1. the modem works since I use it on my dell with Win XP

 

            2. dmesg indicates: “ ttyS0  I/O at 0x3f8 is a 16550A”

 

            3. wvdialconf detected modem

                        /dev/ttySO, speed: 115200, init “ATQO V1 E1 SO=O &C1 &D2 +

                                                                                    FCLASS = 0

I edited a vwdial.conf.new and copied it to /etc/wvdial.conf.

 

At root typed wvdial and got the following:

 

WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.53

Initializing modem

Sending: ATZ

OK

Sending: ATQO V1 E1 SO=O &C1 &D2 + FLCASS = 0

OK

Modem initialized

Sending ATDT<215-701-9814

Waiting for carrier

ATDT<215-701-9814>

Waiting for carrier

…..

Timed out

 

When I tried minicom I got:

            /dev/ttySO access failed: no such file/directory.

 

I’m not sure where to go from here. Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,
