Yes, it is a winmodem, but now with a pctel driver it could be made a linmodem. I made a install some week ago and it was connecting as "root". I've got to download Ximian Desktop and it was installed it. But, I never got myself connecting as user "adagilson". So I tried to make some alterations and now it's not connecting even as user "root". I just want to put my modem to connect again. a. Bill escreveu:
Is it possible that you have a Win-modem installed? If that's so, then it won't work under linux. Win-modems don't have their interface in firmware. You have to be running the interface on the CPU with Windows. Win-modems will have a cable attached to it which connects to the motherboard. Run the hardware profiles under YAST2 and see if the hardware detection sees it. If it does, then you have to configure it with YAST2. The config. tool should assign a port to your modem (like ttys4, for example, which corresponds to the PCI bus slot its in). If hardware detection doesn't see it, then open your computer to see if there's a Win-modem there. You'll have to replace it if there is, but when you install the new modem insert it into a different PCI slot. I had a problem where the new modem still wasn't recognized when I inserted it into the old Win-modem slot.
The fact that the modem couldn't be found under root sounds like the hardware detection doesn't see it or it isn't configured. Address the issues mentioned and let me know what you see.
