[SuSE Linux] Modem Problems
Ever since I installed a new NIC card, I've been unable to dial out using my modem. I have a script that I run in order to get a ppp session going with my ISP. The script seems to run fine since it exits with no errors except that I don't get any happy modem noises. I ran a tail on /var/log/messages and came across this: Dec 22 17:38:31 billthecat kernel: CSLIP: code copyright 1989 Regents of the University of California Dec 22 17:38:31 billthecat kernel: PPP: version 2.2.0 (dynamic channel allocation) Dec 22 17:38:31 billthecat kernel: PPP Dynamic channel allocation code copyright 1995 Caldera, Inc. Dec 22 17:38:31 billthecat kernel: PPP line discipline registered. Dec 22 17:38:31 billthecat kernel: registered device ppp0 Dec 22 17:38:31 billthecat syslog: IPX support is not present in the kernel Dec 22 17:38:32 billthecat pppd+AFs-3340+AF0-: pppd 2.2.0 started by root, uid 0 Dec 22 17:38:32 billthecat pppd+AFs-3340+AF0-: tcgetattr: I/O error Dec 22 17:38:32 billthecat pppd+AFs-3340+AF0-: Exit. Looking back through old logs the IPX not supported error was present even when I successfully made a connection, so I know that's not it. Obviously, it is the tcgetattr I/O error but I don't now where to begin troubleshooting this. I assume the system is unable to retrieve any information from the modem but I don't know what it's looking for or where to start fixing it. Does anyone have any ideas? All replies would be appreciated.

Ok rite here... tcgetattr:I/0 error means that you have your modem pointed to the wrong address You can look at your ppp scripts to see what its says re:modem /dev/modem is probably not good you need /dev/ttyS? the ? ca be 0 1 2 you can try changing those by hand or use WvDial to detect the modem for you It will probe and find the corretc ttyS? then you can correct your script you can get to wvdials site from here Bookmarks <A HREF="http://www.connix.com/~dizzy73/WvDial.htm"><A HREF="http://www.connix.com/~dizzy73/WvDial.htm</A">http://www.connix.com/~dizzy73/WvDial.htm</A</A>> if you use wvdial get the source, install gpp from yast under development, read the readme and your all set ;-) Wvdial is *nice* rob - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
