Can someone point me to a good modem how to? I am trying to setup a dial-in server and I cannot detect my modem but it is listed in lspci. When i run wvdialconf i get no modem detected. I have tried several different modems, lspci lists them but my configuration is obviously lacking somewhere, i have used the setserial command but apparently not correctly. i have read and followed several how to's but none by itself seems complete. Can anyone help by pointing me to a good source for modem config on Redhat and clones. I know not all modems are compatible so a suggestion for an internal modem that is know to work is also welcome. I have a lot of old internal modems lying around so one is bound to be compatible. I have tried conextant, agere, ESS, and smartlink internal modems. From what I understand I'd have better luck with an external modem but I don't have one lying around so.....Let me make sure I understand what you are trying to do. If I am reading things right, you want people to be able to dial into your machine, and log in (or make a ppp connection). If this is the case, you need to configure mgetty for the ports you want. You then need to create entries for each line in /etc/inittab. They used to include examples in inittab, but they do not any more. There are examples in the inittab man page. There is also a fair amount of documentation included in the gmetty package.Thanks, Max
