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,
Bill Lawhorn
