Hallo,
I have recently intalled SuSe 9.1 in my laptop. The computer has an winmodem that it's not supported by Linux. So, I decided to buy a PCMCIA modem. In concret, I have the c56cls by Conceptronic. This modem is supported by Linux, but when I try to connect, SuSe gives me an error. It says that it cannot open the modem! It's very strange! When I start the system, cardmgr beeps twice and it seems that it configures the modem... The first thing that I thought was that maybe the modem wasn't supported by Linux but... If I run the machine with Knoppix Live cd, the modem works perfectly and I can connect without problems! To connect to the net, I use the dialer KPPP, and it is well configured. Does anybody have an idea that could explain the reason of the problem? Does anybody know how I should overcome the problem?
Danke im Vorraus, Josep

Have a look at /dev/modem, I had a similar problem where it was a link to /dev/cua0, which was dead long past, I changed it to link to /dev/ttyS0 and it all worked. /etc/pcmcia/serial seems to be where it's set up to use cua and says we need to keep track of them if the device files exist. After rereading that file, I've now removed /dev/cua* and shall see what happens on the next reboot, hopefully I shall see it linked properly. Regards Sid.
After reboot, it /dev/modem -> /dev/ttyS0 now. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce .... Hamradio G3VBV and keen Flyer =====LINUX ONLY USED HERE=====
