I have two ISA modems that were recognized without a problem.
I have two other PCI modems that are not recognized. One of them is on ttyS4 (used with Mandrake).
There is only 4 choices with DSL (ttyS0 through 3), how can I set more serial ports? In Mandrake, I used setserial.
I found it a little annoying to enter my connection name every time I would go on the internet, so I wrote a menu item to make the process a little easier. The menu file can be accessed by typing the following command in bash:
sudo -u root scite "/home/damnsmall/.fluxbox/menu"
Once the menu file is opened, the menu line to add is:
[exec] (Connect) {sudo -u root /usr/bin/pon ISP}
Replace ISP by the name you gave to your connection during PPPdial config.
The menu item will appear as "Connect".
Now what I would like to do next is launch my favorite browser automatically after the connection is successful. I am too new to Linux to come up with that script, but I am working on it!
Now regarding editing the menu, you may add the following line to the menu file:
[exec] (DamnSmallMenu) {sudo -u root scite "/home/damnsmall/.fluxbox/menu"}
.... but I am getting a little out of topic here ...
