I have a USB-Serial adapter from Sewell that was advertised as Linux compatible.

SuSE 9 Pro on my powernotebook.com C3:16 recognizes it but I cannot get my Kyocera 6035 to sync to the notebook through it.

I am not certain if this is a Linux, SuSE 9 Pro, Kyocera, or adapter problem -- or a little of more than one.

Wish I could be more help and encouragement.

No identifying marks on the blue box nor the device except for the ubiquitous "Made in China" sticker, Sewelldev.com, and CE FCC.

I see no FCC ID anywhere but if you have one it may be located on the FCC site and details about its source of manufacture, etc. located as well.

tail -f /var/log/messages as you plut it in. It will show what the system thinks it is, then you can search google for driver.

Turns out I was in error when I said it was reported as an unknown device. Fact is, the adapter was recognized and a module loaded for it. I guess it was the modem(?) that was not being recognized, or something. The log entry follows: Jan 24 18:06:10 HP-YOGI kernel: hub.c: new USB device 00:0b.1-2, assigned address 3 Jan 24 18:06:10 HP-YOGI kernel: usbserial.c: PL-2303 converter detected Jan 24 18:06:10 HP-YOGI kernel: usbserial.c: PL-2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB0 (or usb/tts/0 for devfs) So... now the question is how to get an unlisted device to work. I mean, in the modem setup there is a drop-down list, and none of the items are as described above --specifically, tty/USB0. Could you point me in the right direction, please? This is a first, for me. I've never had this much problem getting online, before! :-\ <LOL> Thanks! ...CH

make a symlink from /dev/modem to /dev/ttyUSB0 (not tty/USB0 as you wrote above). Then all apps trying to use /dev/modem (such as kppp) will be happy. (Make a symlink? Use konqueror drag and drop or in a console as root: "ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 /dev/modem")

I have an external ISDN modem that I need to use on the HP notebook because SuSE asks for a non-existent 'slammo' module relative to the internal, 56kbps AC-Link by Conexant. The problem is, this adapter requires a driver when using any flavor of M$ Windows and SuSE also doesn't know what to make of this adapter.

You can most probably use your internal modem. Are you using SuSE 9.0? then the drivers are there already. If < 9.0 get them from http://www.smlink.com About slamrmo: =========== Smart Link Ltd. http://www.smlink.com Smart Link Soft Modem for Linux.... It provides full-featured 56K Voice Fax Modem. It will install: - modem kernel modules slmdm.o (modem core), slfax.o (fax) into '/lib/modules/<kernel-version>/misc' directory (standard linux modules' directory). - hardware specific kernel module slamrmo.o (for AMR/CNR/PCI) or slusb.o (for USB) into '/lib/modules/<kernel-version>/misc' directory (standard linux modules' directory). - country settings data file 'country.dat' into directory '/etc'. Also it will: - create character tty device entry '/dev/ttySL0' with major number 212 and symbolic link 'dev/modem'. - config you '/etc/modules.conf' file in order to provide possibility for loading the modem modules into kernel on demand automatically by kmod, when you are going to use them. =========== SuSE 9 does contain all this and installs it, however in my case yast did get the device wrong. As in the readme from smartlink it is /dev/ttySL0 and not what yast though it was. Under SuSE 8.2 I did install the driver myself, following the readme (and ignoring that it says Redhat all the time and never SuSE) and it worked fine as well. HTH, Matt

My USB to Serial adaptor is /dev/ttyUSB0 . I use it for an external dial modem

for my external USB ISDN Modem, it needs module "acm"

Thus : <modprobe acm> works for me.

The usb modem here is : /dev/ttyACM0

I've already loaded the acm module... now I know what device to use! :-) Thanks!! I'll give it a try! ...CH
