I tried Kppp (it worked some days ago). I used a shell command line to get the output messages from the system: ------------------------------------------ "linux: # kppp DCOPServer up and running. Opener: received SetSecret Opener: received SetSecret Opener: received OpenLock Opener: received OpendDevice error opening modem device ! Opener: received RemoveLock" After this wvdial was in test, but this error occured: --------------------------------------------- "linux:/ # wvdial --> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.42 --> Initializing modem. --> Sending: ATZ --> Sending: ATQ0 --> Re-Sending: ATZ --> Modem not responding. linux:/ # -------------------------------------- Kppp setup was invoked trying to correct a pretended wrong location of my modem. So I tested it as /dev/ttys0: "Modem ready. Sorry, the modem doesn't respond." ...as ttys1, ttys2, ttyXX...: "The modem is busy" Permissions to /etc/resolv.conf was modified to allow others user than "root" to write to this file. "plugin passwordfd.so" was checked in /etc/ppp/peers/kppp. /etc/permissions.local was edited. And after this I tryed to reinstall the pctel-0.9.6 driver. I don't whether I should uninstall first the current driver or make a install over the current one, but it was done. Franklin Maurer escreveu:
what alterations did you make? and to what?
what dialer (kppp,kinternet,wvdial) are you using? and have you tried the others?
What do the logs say? kinternet has a log if you right click the plug icon, and click view logs. To see Kppp's log there's a checkbox on the window. i think wvdial gives the info in the terminal window it opens.
What happens if you hit query modem in the kppp setup window.Setup>Modem>query Modem. Does it return info about the modem?
Tonight, I'll try this last advise. Thanks for helping. a. -- Adagilson Batista Bispo da Silva Bibliotecário FIOCRUZ-Centro de Pesquisa Aggeu Magalhães Fone 81 3302-6524
