Hello, everybody I have some troubles configuring my PCMCIA modem. Here are all the characteristics, I got from the seller: ------------------------ E-Tech 56K6 PCMCIA Easy to install (Plug-and-Play) 56000bps data transfer (V.90) 14400bps and 9600bps fax send and receive Fax group 3 class 1 Compatible with video-conferencing (H.324) Telephone cable included Hardware modem: Built-in processor Trouble-free installation Fax/data/voice software included: Multi language Fax send and receive Voice answering machine Handsfree telephone calls Drivers for Windows 95, 98, ME, NT4 and 2000 -----------------------
I used debian/potato pcmcia package (not the kernel drivers) to configure PCMCIA. It looks, like everything works - when I insert the card, I hear double beep, the serial_cs gets loaded and a link /dev/modem to /dev/ttyS18 created (exactly as it is written in the docs!). Problems start when I try to dial a number. I use minicom for this (not trying to configure PPP, just to dial ANYTHING!). So, the modem replies to AT commands (at least minicom shows "OK" when I type AT<Enter> in the term window), but 1. In the status line of the minicom I see "OFFLINE" 2. I cannot dial any number The problem is also that I do not here any tone (phone-tone, I mean) - but this seems to be "a feature" - I do not here it under Windows either, although modem works and dials without any troubles. I'm completely lost, because I do not know where to look for the answer - PCMCIA seems to be OK, but modem does not work. Any hints or suggestions would be greatfully appreciated.
