I have a zoom 2919 internal ISA modem and I cannot get the correct initialization string. Wvdial 1.41 cannot detect that modem, so I used

a generic setting. The result is I get a stalling problem when I reach certain sites such as my ISP. I have contacted Zoom and they gave me about 50 different strings, but none seem to work correctly. Anyone successful in configuring this modem?

First a few quick questions, does it have a flashable rom? If so, did you try updating it? (I had alot of problems with an early 2919 which went away after the update.) Is the modem set up to use the jumpers or for PNP? IIRC there are two flavors of the 2919, one uses a Rockwell chip and the other is Lucent. Do you know which it is? There should be a sticker next to the phone line port with the serial number, if not inspect the card itself for the number. Then follow the support links at http://www.zoom.com to find the proper id. From memory i think it would look like Znnnn-nnL or Znnnn-nnM (where n is any integer) for a Lucent chip. Also on the support site are some downloadable files containing the differences between the two chips. I have recently set up one of the Lucent models under SuSE 6.4. I set it (with jumpers) for ttyS2/com3 (i/o 3E8 I think), irq 5 and ran setserial /dev/ttyS2 irq5 spd_vhi I made sure /dev/modem points to the right place. I had to hand edit /etc/wvdial.conf since for some reason the wvdial configuration utility would not find the modem properly. I made no changes to the default initialization string and had no problem dialing or connecting with either wvdial or kppp. I once came across a modem site that pointed out a lot of problems with the flash in various modems, if I find the link I'll forward it to you. That's all I can think of for now.
