| 98935 | 2002-11-17 01:48:00 | Just found some more info on the internal modem on my laptop at sow194.sow.fh-osnabrueck.de ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Internal Modem The internel modem is a lucent winmodem and I thought there is no way to get it to work. But one day 20 Feb 2000 Vittorio Stiassi dropped me a mail. He told me that he was able to use the modem and how to install it. Here the introduction how to use the internal lucent modem. First you have to download the modemdriver from www.linmodems.org. This is a binary only version from the vendor lucent but it works. The internal modem is a plug & play device. So you have to enable it with isapnp. Here is my isapnp.conf. After you have downloaded the driver you have to uncompress the file with unzip linux568.zip There is a readme.txt included in the zipfile. Read the instructions and follow them. After you have installed the module ltmodem.o with the command ltinst which is included in the zipfile you have a working modem. You can use it now with minicom or ppp connections. The modem module is very large and so it should only be loaded if the modem is used. I made this by adding this lines in the file conf.modules. alias char-major-62 ltmodem install ltmodem insmod "-f" "-k" "ltmodem" Here is my conf.modules. After I have installed the modem it worked very well but my pcmcia-networkcard had a very bad throughput (only 50kb/sec.). I located the problem. Both the networkcard and the modem used the interrupt 3. So I decided to switch the networkcard to an other interrupt. This is described in the section PCMCIA and Network above. |

| 98936 | 2002-11-17 01:53:00 | Aparently I have to modify my isapnp.conf file, what is that? Where do I find it? And aparently I have to add some of the code out of the folowing file into mine to make Linux detect my modem?? sow194.sow.fh-osnabrueck.de Any help would bre greatly appreciated. Cheers Liam |

| 98937 | 2002-11-17 02:03:00 | You shouldn't need to do anything like that. Have you made sure that the modem device is /dev/modem? | segfault (655) | ||
| 98938 | 2002-11-17 02:19:00 | How do I do that??? | nz_liam (845) | ||
| 98939 | 2002-11-17 02:38:00 | Start with FAQ 80 . . . :D A script such as ltinst should have made any links like /dev/modem, and made any ?dev/ entries it needs . Check with "ls -l /dev/modem" . "find / -name isapnp . conf", will find that configuration file . (The "the one page linux manual" link in the FAQ might show it too . BTW a more useful command to list files ont he screem is "less" rather than "cat" . |

| 98941 | 2002-11-17 03:27:00 | Yea the modem is set to /dev/modem in KPP, and I tried it on all the other options and noe of them worked. | nz_liam (845) | ||
| 98942 | 2002-11-18 04:10:00 | But what is /dev/modem] set to? It is not a real device .. it's a dummy, and it has to be linked to the actual hardware. | Graham L (2) | ||
