hi
If you use an external ISDN modem which is connected via the serial interface (RS232), you need to configure it like an analog connection. That means you have to use pppd instead of ipppd.
well.... sorrry that i haven't told you that i don't have linux installed yet. i have a clean harddrive, network boot cd in my hand and working cd-rom drive :-) of course i also have external isdn card connected to rs232.
i don't have any idea if i can make a network-install boot cd to dial to internet via rs232. there are lots of network-card modules, but i don;t have network card :-(, so i can't access suse ftp :-(
help
hi, If it is possible to run a rescue-System or Knoppix or something like that on your hardware, you could write a little script which connects through rs232 to your isdn-modem. THe modem AFAIK should be able to understand AT-commands. Perhaps this could be a starting point for access to the ftp-Server. I never tried such an installation before, but I know that it is rather easy to manage a modem via rs232. HTH, Wolfgang
