[SLE] Going from analog to dsl modem... now what?
by creimer＠rahul.net 04 May '00

04 May '00

Greetings! Previously, I was using wvdial.dod and ip masquerading with an analog modem to get my network connected to the internet. Now I get Pac Bell DSL (dynamic IP) and a Westel DSL modem, I'm totally clueless on how to get my linux box to work with this new device. My windows system is running flawlessly with the provided software with a 911kps downward rate. Any ideas for the rest of my network? Thanks!

Duh!! Didn't get that the issue was _one_ file. I'll learn to read when I grow up.

Fair enough, our regional flavor is usually Southwestern Bell and... Hey Jon, what's the modem SWB set you up with?

Only 6 computers and 2 servers to begin with.

[SLE] Xircom card on laptop
by fountai＠hursley.ibm.com 04 May '00

04 May '00

Did someone on here say they've got a Xircom Modem/Ethernet card working on their laptop? I've got one, and although the network worked straight away on SuSE-6.3, I can't get to talk to the modem. It's spotted at boot time and come up as ttyS1, but opening that port and trying to read from it always produces 'I/O error'. No luck from minicom either. Is there a secret I don't know about? The modem works from Windows. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
