Toshiba8100, Suse linux and winmodem
Hi: I am a newbie to Linux. Here is my problem: via command /sbin/lspci, it showed that my Tecra 8100's internal modem is Lucent winmodem. Did anyone ever get this internal modem worked on dialup (to ISP, say earthlin.net)? I could not ever determin which COM port the modem is using... on XP (the machine is dual boot, XP and Suse linux), it is using COM3; so I assume it shoudl be /dev/ttyS2, but when i use command "cat /dev/ttyS2" and i got error message... help please.... Thanks a linux newbie __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Tax Center - online filing with TurboTax http://taxes.yahoo.com/

Thanks I never succeeded in getting the LT working in redhat, but with SuSE it was simply a matter of following the instructions (which Yast gives you when you ask it to install modem driver) about where to download the pre-compiled driver. If you are running Personal, as I am, you don't have the necessary kernel source on the CD for rebuilding the driver from source, so you will need the pre-compiled version, e.g. the one from the sfu site. I used it with Earthlink for months, until Earthlink gave me the choice of getting on the waiting list to pay $700 for satellite gear or switch to my local ISP to get ADSL. -- Tim Prince
I have SUSE 7.2 loaded on my Toshiba Techra 8100. I was able to get my winmodem working by taking a look at www.linmodems.org. For dialup, I use wvdial and it works like a charm. Thye have a link for SuSE rpm packeges for the LTmodem in the Techra at: http://www.heby.de/ltmodem Be sure to take a look at the linmodem howot at: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/Linmodem-howto.html Good luck. david On Sun, 7 Apr 2002, Gahn Lu wrote:
