Now I've got Fedora bootloader working, I've got
a
holnuther problem:
FC5 doesn't detect my modem. I've queried every
location offered in the
KPPP menu and shot craps every time.
The device is an external USR hardware modem.
It's
plugged into a USB
port. Xandros detected the modem at location
"Comm
8", if that means
anything here. How can I get Fedora to find the
hardware and use it?
Thanks for any help.

Jimmy,
Become superuser
$ su -
psswd: *****
# wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
will scan the modem ports till it finds a valid
ones.
After it finds it use that one in KPPP. Refer to
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/post-install.html
for help/other issues when using wvdial.
Regards,
Antonio

Thanks Antonio. I did as you suggested. KPPP now
finds the modem and
probes it correctly, but I don't seem able to create
a dialup connection
correctly. Which is to say, I create the dialup
connection and tell then
KPPP to dial it. KPPP then goes to work -- and
nothing happens. I don't
hear dial tones or any other sounds coming out of
the modem. Bye and
bye, KPPP itself disappears from the screen AND the
task bar, and no
connection is ever made. So I'm still lost.
Thanks for trying.

Let us not give up so easy. Could you do the
following so we can determine what other things we can
do
$ su -
pswd: ***
# lsusb -v
send us that information, and
# dmesg
The other thing to do and try is to use wvdial in the
meantime edit the file /etc/wvdial.conf add your
username, psswd:, phone number and make a script
# script wvdialtest.log
# wvdial
# exit
script created on .....
attach the script and hopefully we can get to the root
of the problem.
Before I forget, when you need to use the modem to
connect to the internet and you are also on a network,
please run
# ifconfig eth0 down
and try to connect again. This is a little thing that
makes a big difference.
Regards,
Antonio

My apologies to you, Antonio, but I'm blowing out of this thread. Reason
being that I got a card from my phone company yesterday. They told me
they're offering broadband service now. So I signed up this morning. I
get my high-speed modem delivered by UPS on the 19th and service starts
on the 20th. So I'm going to hook up through a network card and a DSL
modem next Friday. I see no reason, then, to put you (or me) through any
more of this pain when, FC5 being the way it is, I may have to ask the
list for networking help next week.
Thanks for your trouble. I don't want to give you any more trouble.
Jimmy
