I have a internal lucent modem and it was installed by dslbut when I try to dial to my ISP
it always gives the 2 errors
the first error is: warning impossible to change modem restrictions in read-only system
and the other is:
no dial tone, but I've tested all connections and when I use this modem on win98 it works perfectly......
if someone knows how to make this modem works on DSL
please... post here

The first error is unimportant.The other could be just about anything. How did you configure the modem and dialing properies? Lucent winmodems should automatically be symlinked to /dev/modem.
Please post the full output of your terminal here.

I dont know where is the trouble:
if put pppd to /dev/modem it gives the same error.
on win98 the name of the modem is: Agere systems PCI Soft Modem, but on DSL it appears as lucent technology win modem.

What version of DSL are you using? Do you receive a message during boot that a lucent winmodem was detected? Having DSL tell you what hardware you have does not necessarily mean it was installed. If you have a DSL older than version 2.0 the modem was not installed. Anything newer should be fine.Since you're not getting a dial tone, there's either something wrong with the modem or phone line, or it's not configured properly. So I ask again, how did you configure the modem and dialing properies?

I'm using the version 3.1, and yes I receive a message during boot that a lucent winmodem was found.and I put the pppd to use the device /dev/modem and /dev/ttyS14 and it gives same message
I found some informations that lucent always is symlinked to /dev/modem during instalation.
and I have no problem with this modem in win98..... so this modem is working.
have something that I forgot to configure?
I think that I have to download wvdial what do you think about this
?its a good idea?

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by this. Please *explain* what you did. DSL has a gui ppp configuration tool that should work for you, at least to get the modem to dial. Is this what you used? If so, I don't know what else to say right now.
I use a lucent winmodem in DSL, and configured it properly using that tool.

when I was creating a connection on pppd. there is something like this:modem port:( so i typed) /dev/modem.( that I mean with "I put the pppd to use the device /dev/modem")
where is that gui "ppp configuration tool"?
Posted by mikshaw on May 26 2007,02:03
In the desktop menu:System -> Net Setup -> dial-up PPP
Click on "Config" for a perl script which will hopefully help you configure ppp
I'm not sure what else to tell you at the moment, particularly if you've already tried using this tool. It seemed fairly straightforward to me, but at this point I can't recall if there might have been some issues. I'll try it out in a clean DSL system a little later to see if there was something else that needs to be done.

I tried to use the microcom to detect and configure the modem but it doesn't give any answer.
I used the command: microcom -D/dev/ttyS14
do you know what can be the trouble?

I don't know anything about microcom. I could make a guess, though, that it doesn't work because a Lucent winmodem is not a modem.

I recently read about Agere (formerly Lucent) not supporting linux drivers for fear of being sued. Here's one quote:"a softmodem driver needs to contain proprietary code that would be in hardware (firmware) for a hardware modem. The FSF's license (GPL) requires anyone using any part of Linux code to make all derivative works available for free - Agere is concerned that making a Linux driver available without making the source freely available might result in FSF suing Agere. (FSF has sued a number of companies over such issues.)"
