kmail accented characters
by scc 02 Dec '01

02 Dec '01

Hi kmail SuSE 7.3 prints a ? instead of an accented character eg ? when wiewed after sending. There is a message 'not all the characters fit into the chosen encoding. As I write mainly Spanish this is a problem. Can anyone see the accented a above? Is it something to do with the charset? I hace usascii at the moment. Thanks, Steve.

Help! modem woes
by zCc 02 Dec '01

02 Dec '01

Hi all, i'm a recent & would-be happy owner of the SuSE 7.3 pro. my problem is getting the USR sportster 28.8K internal modem to work. this device has worked on my previous installations of SuSE (6.3, 7.0 & 7.2) on the /dev/ttyS3 COM4 port. i recall that on these previous installations, the modem was detected automatically. 1. the modem responds to the following: echo -e "AT\r" >/dev/ttyS3 with several "OK"'s. however, i opened up the case and no l.e.d.'s on the modem card are lit. is this a problem? 2. setserial -bg /dev/ttyS* responds thus: /dev/ttyS0 at 0x03f8 (irq=4) is a 16550A /dev/ttyS1 at 0x02f8 (irq=3) is a 16550A /dev/ttyS3 at 0x02e8 (irq=3) is a 16550A 3. i believe the modem card is ISA (since the sound card, on the same bus, is ISA). but i suspect that it is not PnP (it's quite an old machine). the sliding switches on the back (i.e. they can be seen without opening the case) are numbered and set to: 1-ON 2-OFF 3-ON 4-OFF 5-ON 6-OFF 7-OFF 8-ON there are two sets of jumpers on the actual card (i.e. they can only be seen by opening the case and removing the card) which are set as follows: . . . * . . . * 1 2 3 4 and . * . . . . * . . . 2 3 4 5 7 where: "." is not connected and "*" is connected. 4. pnpdump (which i believe is for PnP cards) produces a lot of # Trying port address xxxx followed, at the end, by: # No boards found. my guess is that i need to use setserial to tell the system what port & irq values are set in the hardware. but what do the sliding switches & jumper settings on the card mean? please understand that going out & buying a newer modem card like some puny windoze punk would, is *not* an option! but i'm quickly running out of options, and may have to swallow my pride and admit defeat! thank you in advance, zang. further info: * output of setserial -ag /dev/ttyS3 Baud_base: 115200 close_delay: 50 divisor: 0 closing_wait: 3000 Flags: spd_normal * output of wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf ttyS3<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- failed with 2400 which failure is repeated as higher bauds and the remaining serial devices are tried. * output of wvdial run: --> Sending: ATZ --> Sending: ATQ0 --> Re-sending: ATZ --> Modem not responding * how important are the group ownerships for example in /etc/ppp/? because, the wvdial troubleshooting guide in YaST lists the expected output from ls -alL /etc/ppp/ and other directories and files and most of them have the group dialout as the owner. some of mine don't! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
