Recommend a Modem

[khandu]

Recommend a Modem Chip for me ( Internal )

which has FREE Linux drivers and most common support..

I use more RHEL & FC

 

[pradeep_chauhan]

The chip that has free drivers is the motorola chip m56 or something But setting up this too is a pain if you are going for a new modem and that too for linux please buy an external modem Dlink 560S is a good and cheap buy.

 

[khandu]

any other suggestions guys for internal..

Try buying the HP56 Micromodem aka HSP56 Micromodem...

The drivers are available @ Lin-Modems

But I would recommend you use External Modem as @Pradeep has said... Coz i cant guarantee that the drivers from Lin-Modems will work!!

Cheers!!!

Can I use tata indicom walky's modem to conect from linux ??
Where can I get te drivers from ??

 

[pradeep_chauhan]

Tell us more what interfacr does it use, USB? If its RS232 it will work straight away, otherwise a problem. Also checkout their website for details. The thing is till such time you dont have the item its difficult to give a correct comment on it so try all genric things like visit dealers website, ask their tech support, etc etc...

I already have a HSP56 Micromodem.. but it is not supported by 2.6.x kernel.. I have been in chat with the developer of driver myself for a month.. and we are trying to get a driver for the latest kernels..

same with me.If you get one let me know please.

Well,

Me and Robert Thornburrow ( The person in Linmodem ) had a chat of about 23 emails.. and he came up with this driver for FC3 ( 2.6.x ) for HSP 56 Micromodem Internal

I have uploaded it here

*rapidshare.de/files/1442778/pctel-0_1_.9.7-9-rht-4pre7.tar.gz.html

I did manage to install it.. But I did not test is as my FC3 Kppp was not working properly..

Try wvdial and test it..

Hope it works for all HSP56 Micromodem users and Kernel 2.6.x

tata indicom uses com1 port.
It has an inbuilt modem inside the phone with
a speed of 33500 bps.
What are the drivers and pls give me the
email address of mr.thornburrow.

GOOD NEWS you need no drivers just attach your tele modem to serial port and down load wvdial and configure it (wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf) to run by using the serial port 0 thats it.

@pradeep_chauhan:
gr8 info...pradeep.
I think in knoppix wvdial is there ?? But Iam not sure.

@khandu : I wud like know abt mr.thornburrow and his email. PM me man.

 

[pradeep_chauhan]

if wvdial is not there use kppp that too wil work.

 

[h4xbox]

ok pradeep. Kppp is always there.. but i dloaded wvdial also. the rpm was around 115kb i think.

www.rpmfind.net
www.rpm.pbone.net
two good sites

 

[pradeep_chauhan]

noe to configure say wvdial give the command as root
#wvdialconfig /etc/wvdial.conf

then open the file /etc/wvdial.conf in say vi and add the username password and tele no Also adda line
Stupid Mode =1
thats it to connect give the command wvdial & and you are on the net

 

[h4xbox]

I used different hardware port choices of kppp and got a msg
like modem ready. I also got two buttons log and cancel.

It did not connect ... see yo pm pradeep.

Saw the page..but my knoppix is gone..so i guess i have to wait until i get another distro. ( coz knoppix doesnt seem to have a suitable xserver for my pc)

Error i get is "INIT "x" respawning too fast : stopped for 5 minutes" then i type startx in console it says a lotsa errors...and again....now latest developments is only one error...cloop error(gnurag told me that clopp error means cd gone) So i burned its ISO into a new cd-rw disc .. still no avail i get the same error
