ItŽs nice to see that so many of you want to help me with the fact that i cannot get my extern modem working in SuSE 6.3 Your all right that i have to give more detailed info about the problem:

First i checked the BIOS, Com2 on with the extern modem is, is enabled. My PC has an internal winmodem, maybe i have to tell the BIOS to switch it off, but their is no option in the BIOS too do so.

Then i start Linux (as root) and Yast en setup the modem for ttyS1

Then i typ: wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf The scan start, but find nothing I only get: sorry, no modem found, in use by another program ? Did you configure it properly with setserial ?

About the last point: i do not understand much of setserial

Try the manpages: 'man setserial' (without the quotes).

But wvdial must be intelligent enough to find the modem, isnŽt it ?

Yes, unless it cannot use the serial port(s) because they are not configured properly.

So........what am i doing wrong.....

Type this: 'setserial /dev/ttyS0' and 'setserial /dev/ttyS1' (without the quotes), that will give you the parameters for your serial ports. Post the results. That may give us a clue about the operation of the serial ports.
