Hi,
Do you have internal (PCI) or external modem? Internal modems (also known as winmodem are difficult to use due to driver issues. Anyway install your modem. Install software called wvdial and use the same to connect to ISP:
First COM1 is known as /dev/ttyS0 under Linux see following
How To Check and Use Serial Ports Under Linux
Once serial device identified type the following to configure modem:
Code:
wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
Once modem is detected you need to edit /etc/wvdial.conf configuration file to specify the PPP username, password and dial out
Phone number. Open /etc/wvdial.conf using vi text editor:
Code:
vi /etc/wvdial.conf
Here is sample config file:
Code:
[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/ttyS1
Baud = 115200
Init1 = ATZ
Phone = 172226
Username = Your-USERNAME
Password = Your-PASSWORD
To connect type
To disconnect type
