I have a modem I want to add to this box (running Mandrake). How do I do it? I plugged it in and turned it on, ran modemtool but I don't know what OCM port it's on. I selected each COM port in turn and ran KPPP to dial with no success. What am I missing?

I need to install it here at home because when I do a CVS update using wincvs, all the makefiles are screwed up because it transfers them in binary and adds spaces.

Help please.

Shane

Shane once you get configured we will have you run usernet which will fire your modem connection.

Normally you don't need to configure the modem for ppp usage. There are some pppconfig tools outside which do it for you. If not in the distro search for don't run RH (or mandrake) so i don't
know where the config files are located

Eh? It's pretty important to at least know what serial port to use !!

Try the following...
setserial /dev/ttyS0
setserial /dev/ttyS1
setserial /dev/ttyS2
setserial /dev/ttyS3

This will tell you what serial ports are installed on your machine.

See if you have a program called minicom installed. This is just a nice simple serial terminal program. Run it and set the serial device to each of your installed devices until you find the modem.

Running modemtool will simply create a link from one of those devices to /dev/modem... this is not REALLY necessary but can make later setup a bit cleaner.

Now run whatever ppp configuration program you are using and set the modem device to /dev/modem if you used modemtool, or just /dev/ttySn, where n is the device you identified.
