USR Sportster and Salvador Dalis phone

[ahem . . .]
Trying to get connected with a USR Sportster Voice 33.6 modem . . .

So far have managed to get the wvdial program to dial a connection
then it seems to wonder what to do - and I have no idea what to suggest . . .

this is the connection . . .

Code: Select all

--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.42
--> Initializing modem.
--> Sending: ATZ
ATZ
OK
--> Sending: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 S11=55 +FCLASS=0
ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 S11=55 +FCLASS=0
OK
--> Modem initialized.
--> Sending: ATDT 08453331651
--> Waiting for carrier.
ATDT 08453331651
CONNECT 31200/ARQ
--> Carrier detected.  Waiting for prompt.

--> PPP daemon has died! (exit code = 10)
--> Disconnecting at Mon Jul 25 13:00:00 2005

It does not know what to do?
I don't know what to do . . .
Who knows what to do?

GKdial (Start / network / gkdial ) is the prog I want to use and Barry recommends after setting up the modem with the wizard to use this (see Start /help)

I have changed the chap script as suggested

In that case you have to edit the modem configuration file created by Gkdial in /etc/ppp/chatscripts/

to this which is the initialization for the Sportster Voice

Code: Select all

InitString=AT&F&C1&D2&K1&H1S7=60
BPS=57600

Tried this in Chubby 1.0.5 - still no luck.

Even though I have broadband some websites I manage have to be accessed by modem . . . The dialup icon appeared . . . but as it appeared in the middle of the screen and was obscured by other icons I missed it at first . . .

I also have an internal luscent winmodem (which I have disabled) Is it worth disabling the internet braodband before using a modem - or will that make no difference? Maybe I should just try another modem?

[Lobster]

Have tried the internal modem - no luck

and have just been trying in 1.0.7

Still can not connect by modem . . .
Any help appreciated

Please try this:
in /etc/ppp/options uncomment the line
lock
so that it looks like this:
#lock

Code: Select all

lock
defaultroute
noipdefault
noauth
usepeerdns
modem
#/dev/modem
115200
crtscts
debug
asyncmap 0
name "barney"

mmm . . .
you seem to be giving me contradictory advice (might be a language thing)

to uncomment means to remove the #
it already is removed
but you suggest putting it in (so I did)
Also tried uncommenting the #/dev/modem
(that is removing the #)

Thanks for any help Mark
I am sure this can be done . . .
It is an external modem connected to ttyS0
I have used it in knoppix

I hope someone can offer you some Web design work - are you programming in php - something like that? gone off topic

Thanks for modem help - gonna try my luck with Fedora which I have on the HD

not sure if anything stands out?

yes, meant "comment", sorry.
this line caused some trouble in the past especially with kppp on some linux-systems.
I just see, kppp is available in Puppys KDE, too.

Hmm.. if your modem worked in ubuntu, you might copy over it's configfiles from /etc/ppp ?

yes, PHP.
A Foto-gallery and an uploadscript I can make for someone.
This does not cover the 730 Euro I have to pay as TV-tax to the state (for the time, when I had no own home, they are bureacraticly stupid, as you just should have to pay this tax, when you have a TV), but maybe like this I can pay back small amounts on a monthly base.

I hope someone here who has seen the speed of your coding and the good results will be able to offer you some further work.

Thanks for the advice - still not connected by modem (I tried Fedora) I will get there eventually - another modem is available . . .
