Re: [SuSE Linux] kppd - Modem USR Modem string?
Hi Jeff: Not a Winmodem... But external -yes. (USR Sporster Flash v.90) It now seems to work most of the time, but occasionally, when you send it the init string, it just doesnt send back "ok" so kppp just sits there. diald is no longer running, and I've looked at the bios to check the ports (mouse = irq4 modem =irq3 ) . I see in the faq a mention of speed of intialisation of the modem - tried adjusting the speed - no difference. I've also tried changing cr/lf, lf, cr as per the FAQ - all to no avail. I've tried all the different initialisation strings that have been suggested - as well as nothing but "ATZ", - all seem to work about the same! I've tried different /dev names - ttyS1, cua1, /dev/modem - all work the same. In minicom, an "ATZ" gets an "ok" everytime, but if I try to reset the modem with alt-z m, the string is echoed on the screen, but nothing else happens. I've also tried different speeds from 9600 up to 115000 (or whatever) - also no change. When it plays up, the only 'cure' is to power-down and reboot the > PC < (Resetting the modem has no effect) So I'm guessing its something to do with the serial port in the PC itself ....... I will try your suggestion about pnpdump - oh, and I have the OSS sound driver installed..... could there be any sort of conflict there I wonder?? When I tried to install a second sound-card, the driver gave some complaint about other PnP cards being present... Perhaps I must see if uninstalling the driver makes any difference. Having spent two days fiddling with the modem, and a day getting the Real Audio Player to partially work, I'm starting to be not >quite< so critical of WinNT/98 ! .... but on the other hand, SuSE 5.3 has yet to crash on me!!!! I intend to replace Redhat 5 with SuSE 5.3 on my two servers at work a.s.a.p. - but would dearly love to also replace NT on my desktop PC !

Thanks for the quick reply. No luck, however. I don't get any "ok" response from the modem, so everything just hangs... Even powering-off
modem to reset it seems to have no effect.
When I went back into windows, I also seemed to have a problem until I reinstalled the modem. I wonder if this is some 'plug and pray'
the problem?
1) it sounds like this is an extenal modem - you're sure it's not a WINMODEM ? (winmodems will never work under linux)
2) assuming its PNP, have you run '/sbin/pnpdump > isapnp.conf' and does pnp dump detect the modem ?
3) have you checked to see if other running processes (e.g.diald) are locking the port (and the modem) ?
4) you sure minicom is connecting to the right port ?

likely an easy one for you Linux studs: when I am logged in as myself (i.e., not root) and running X with KDE (though this might happen with all wm's), if I "su root", and try to edit a file, say, by calling xemacs, or even emacs, I cant! I get: chris@RomperRoom:/home/chris > su root Password: RomperRoom:/home/chris # emacs Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server emacs: Cannot connect to X server :0.0. Check the DISPLAY environment variable or use `-d'. Also use the `xhost' program to verify that it is set to permit connections from your machine. How do I fix this? What is this '-d'?

When you start the X-Server, no one else is allowed to connect to it. Just issue the command "xhost +localhost", before switching to user root. This command allows all local users to use the X-Server (including root).

Before you attempt to open an application that writes to the X display, do Alt-F2 to call up a command window and type in 'xhost +local:' not forgetting the colon at the end. The command window will disappear and you can then run your application. When you are finished, Alt-F2 and type in 'xhost -'. -- rclark@virgosolutions.demon.co.uk Ralph Clark, Virgo Solutions Ltd (UK) __ _ / / (_)__ __ ____ __ * Powerful * Flexible * Compatible * Reliable * / /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / *Well Supported * Thousands of New Users Every Day* /____/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\ The Cost Effective Choice - Linux Means Business! - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

not realy a stupid question. before doing a "su" try a "xhost +your_machine_name" after that, things should work. btw. if you are networked and want to start i.e. xclock on "mothers_machine" do a xhost +mothers_machine, after telnetting to it try export "export DISPLAY=your_machine_name:0.0". after that "xclock &". Program running on mothers_machine, display on yours. have fun!!

The only stupid question is the one that's never asked, for therein lies continued ignorance. :) Just don't DO stupid things, that's MY speciality!
