[SuSE Linux] minicom, modem, speed, default settings, setserial

Hi everybody, I have no problem with MINICOM. Instead, MINICOM solves (temporaly) my modem problem. My modem trouble is the following : When connecting to my ISP, speed modem is always 9600. If I run MINICOM, the next connexion is made with 33600 speed !! (I just run MINICOM and I quit. I don't key in any AT command). I don't understand default settings which are made by MINICOM, which allows me to have 33600 speed. I put "setserial /dev/modem spd_vhi" to set baud rate to 115 kbs in my connexion script -> no effect. If someone can help me to understand. Thanks. -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archive at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>

What program are using to connect when not using minicom? ARe you using chat scripts, etc? I would perhaps try something like wvdial or take a look at the init strings you are passing in your other dialer. With wvdial one can set the values quite easily. I have also used with a good deal of success X-isp which allows the value to be set in an X-based dialing program. Minicom may be using a dialing string which provides a better dialing string init for your particular modem. -- Michael Perry mperry@znet.com ----------------- -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archive at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>

If you use a connect script as I do, set the speed in the pppd call options as I do in mine: /usr/sbin/pppd lock /dev/$DEVICE name $USER \ remotename $PROVIDER \ modem crtscts 115200 noipdefault \ ----------------^^^^^^ or alternately, if your script runs off an /etc/ppp/options file, place a separate '33600' line in it.

Minicom may be using a dialing string which provides a better dialing string init for your particular modem.
I would have to agree with Michael on this one, sounds like you have a bogus init string command, or the speed in your options file is missing, or maybe your preferred method of connecting isn't correctly initializing the modem on each attempt the way minicom does. To further help you, we will need to know what your preferred method of connecting is. -- S.Toms - tomas@primenet.com - <A HREF="http://www.primenet.com/~tomas"><A HREF="http://www.primenet.com/~tomas</A">http://www.primenet.com/~tomas</A</A>> S.u.S.E.
