Hi guys,
I am trying to connect through an asuscom (56000) serial modem in CentOS5, but when tried Kppp tool it sais no device found. I can't see /dev/modem :( What could you suggest in this cases ?
Is your modem an external one?
yes, it's a gray external one.
If so
- connect it to your machine's serial port (/dev/ttyS0 or /dev/ttyS1)
I connected the modem to /dev/ttyS0 port. Then used the network gui interface to add the modem connection. Done this, tried to activate the connection and after some modem lights blinking the modem get lost forever. As if the channel ttyS0 kept busy trying to connect without a response, or something like that. I needed to restart the system.
- try to communicate with it with 'minicom'
- ensure it responds your 'at' commands
Once done, you are safe to create a /dev/modem symlink to your ttySx device.
well, think I need to connect to the modem first, or not ?.
As a side note, when I tried with the CentOS 4.4 live CD it connected perfectly well.

Thanks Oskar.
