| 173889 | 2003-09-10 04:46:00 | even with these addition modules loaded I still do not have a stable connection. | stuartf (4533) | ||
| 173890 | 2003-09-10 04:55:00 | Try doing the "off" ... experimental technique. :D | Graham L (2) | ||
| 173891 | 2003-09-10 05:24:00 | yep removed the message from the log ok, still no stabel connection though. | stuartf (4533) | ||
| 173892 | 2003-09-10 09:33:00 | I use Mandrake 9.1 and Suse 8.2,and they have to have lt_modem and lt_serial loaded to work properly....maybe Redhat is different?If you think these modules are needed have a look at the scanmodem ModemData.txt.2 for the info.to load these modules. You could also try wvdial, this is a good command line tool for setting up a connection. Lachlan |

| 173893 | 2003-09-10 13:26:00 | The driver you want is: " ltmodem-kv _2.4.21_0.13mdk-8.26a9-1. i586.rpm" Works well very fast & stable. Mandrake & Yoper. |

| 173894 | 2003-09-11 05:52:00 | Have a look at /etc/ppp/pap-secrets,you should find your username and password there.If they are not there it usually means that you can connect ok,but your connection will be terminated soon after. Lachlan. |

| 173895 | 2003-09-12 01:37:00 | Yep they are there, could the browser cause problems? I'm using Mozilla should I change to Netscape or some other browser? | stuartf (4533) | ||
| 173896 | 2003-09-12 04:06:00 | The distribution shouldn't matter ... Linux is Linux, and the different distributions differ in their packaging, and installation methods ... with minor differences in the options set when they compile the kernel. I think any browser will do ... That looks to be the right driver. :D You could try the other, but I reckon the modem is working. It's the other little details which are fouling you up. Try "man kppp" (or "apropos kppp") It seems to be only ppp-comp-21 which is being complained about ... so perhaps you could try the aliasing it to each of the other modules Lachlan listed. You can use "rmmod" to clear out the ones that are there before trying another "modprobe". |

| 173897 | 2003-09-13 01:13:00 | Problem resolved, whether by good luck or good management not sure, I had been duel booting Linux on a Win2K machine, the problem(s) that I had been experiencing with my modem within Linux starting occuring within Win2k. Now Linux is on its own machine and both are working fine. So I would just like to say thanks to all the people who helped try and resolve my modem problems. As far as I know I didn't do anything different when I installed Linux on its own machine from the previous installation(s) but there you go, everything works so I'm happy. Cheers Stuart |

| 173898 | 2003-09-13 04:16:00 | Sometimes an installation gets all the settings right, then they are accidentally set wrong by the user trying to make it "better". We'll blame Microsoft. :D The fact that it's a winmodem means that the OS sets things in the modem. They might not be explicitly set correctly for Linux by Linux. |
