Modem????

#1 Post by Georgia »

Hello.
I finally solved almost all problems I had with Debian, besides one:
I still cannot configure my modem. I 've read various how-to, downloaded
Linux drivers for my modem, tried whatever I could think, but there is still
no way to persuade Linux that port ttyS0 is connected with a modem.
My modem is a Smart Link Usb, and the "README" file in the linux driver
claims that a port named ttySL0 is created. Well, the port seems to be there in /dev, but when I use pppconfig, no such port is recognised.
You helped me very much with my previous questions, could you give me any clue about what to do now?
Thanks.

I'm not sure as I've never work with USB modems but maybe you could solve this by simply creating symbolic link from ttySL0 to ttyS0 ?
it could be done like this(sorry if you know this, please don't take it as offence as I don't know how experienced are you).
1 become a root
2 cd /dev
3 ln -s ttySL0 ttyS3
or
ln -s ttySL0 modem
as some programs use modem symbolic link for work.
Hope this would help you.
Denis
