Strangely, I have never been able to use my Internal modem till date on a Linux box.

The Linux Box ( SuSE 9.3 or RHEL 3) both detect the internal modem( DLink 560 IS+++), but KPPP doesn't seem to recognise the modem. I also dont know the device file to be used.

How do I configure Linux to be able to use the modem.

lspci shows the modem, but I just dont know what is the correct device file for the modem.

Pls help


rc

Internal modem is pain but you need a driver to work with it .. the device file is in /dev directory and it is related to your chip set, so you need to tell us which chipset you are using? lspci --vv or lspci -v output shold give us idea so just post that here

This is the info I get when I isssue the command lspci -v |grep Modem

SuSELinux:~ # lspci -v |grep Modem
0000:00:09.1 Serial controller: Agere Systems (former Lucent Microelectronics) LT WinModem (prog-if 00 [8250])

lsmod doesn't show any thing related to Lucent or Modem.

Pls advice what to do..?

rc

ricc you can download LTModem Drivers for Linux from
http://www.physcip.uni-stuttgart.de/heby/ltmodem/

If you have further question feel free to reply back

Thanks monk,

The page says...SuSE 9.0 and above have inbuilt driver for the LTmodem and I have SuSE 9.3 Pro. I dont know what to do.

If it has the driver, what will be the /dev/xxx file that I shall use for KPPP to be able to dial.


For that matter, not only LTmodem, what I want to know is that what is the /dev/xxx device file for internal pci modems.

rc

ricc you need /dev/lt_serial for this modem, this device will be only avilable if driver is loaded. Then you need to create a symbolic link:
After compiling you need to add following driver
lt_serial
lt_modem

Then create a symlink then use kppp to dial out
