Hi everyone, I need help on this queer problem that I have been facing for last few weeks. I configured a ISDN TA on SuSE 6.4 withdefault kernel and all was fine. Then one day kppp just did not connect, I tired WvDial (it was also configured) and that didn't help either. Kppp seems to see the modem but fails to intialise - I checked the serial port setting using setserial - all seemed fine, I also fixed the port address and IRQ from bios. Nothin seems to help!! It just gives up on "initializing modem part". I tried the trick given in trouble shooting WvDial scripts - by changin "char-major-4 off" and char-major-5 off that didn't help either...? where am i missing out? regards, - Maneesh -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq
I openly admit that I gave up making use of any external ISDN external adapters in Linux. Wvdial degrades your external ISDN adapter (e.g. Eicon Diva T/A) to an extremely slow analogue modem. I bought an internal ISDN adapter instead: AsusCOM ISDN-Link. That made it for me. It is so cheap that it makes no sense to fight with any extermal adapters. Cheers, Niels Stenhøj Maneesh Bomb wrote:

Hi everyone, Now I'm facing a similar problem with an external modem. I connected the modem to a m/c on which another modem was working just to assure myself the modem works fine. It worked though it hung after a while and then I had no other alternative but to diconnect. However on trying to reconnect, it says "Modem Ready" , then "Intiallizing Modem" , this is where it gives up. Since then I have been able to get it to work again. I tried to give it AT&F to load factory defaults - still no use. Any clues what could be wrong? - Maneesh -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq

Sounds like it may have had a power surge. Been any storms in your area
lately? It doesn't take much to fry them.
BTW, I had a customers' internal modem cop a lightning hit once. When I
went to replace it, the durn thing had spot-welded itself into the slot!
Rest of the system seemed ok, though. High voltage does strange things!

Nope no storms here and its a new installation with brand new modem. True High voltages do strange thing one of my friends lost his internal modem to a lighning strike lucky his PC didn't blow!! If you come across any solution to this do let me know - thanks once again. - Maneesh -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq
