I am Linux newbie.Can I connect to the internet, when running DSL from my CD drive? I am using a U.S.Robotics 56K Performance Pro Modem, pn R24.0208.00 It is a hardware modem Modem is on /dev/ttyS4 ("COM 5" w/ Win 98SE) My dialup speed is usually at 28k. I left modem port speed at 115200, as suggested. I got message No Modem found, and entered the port by hand After completing the PPP configuraton, I am not able to connect to the internet. Nothing happens. I get no error messages. I do not hear my modem attepting to dial out. I tried to connect to the internet using another distro, Feather Linux. After completing the configuration, and getting nothing, I clicked on PPPstaus and got a message that the modem was busy Am I in error in thinking that I can connect to the internet with out installing DSL on the hard drive? Any suggestions Posted by ryptyde on April 27 2005,01:40
I have a US Robotics 56K Performance Pro Modem.The model/pn of mine is 5610B and I have used it to connect to the net while running from a mini-CDR and from a usb pen-drive and hdd of course. I had to enter my port manually as "ttyS4" and filled in all of the other requested info and have no problem connecting. I have used several Linux distros that I have had a problem with connecting but DSL always has worked with my modem. Posted by WilliamS on Oct. 18 2005,04:18
I also have a usr5610b modem, works perfectly with slackware, however I cannot get a connection with it in DSL.Must be something in the config, but I've done it several times with the same result, dials, screeches, then exits saying connect failed. Please advise. |
