the system cannot talk to the modem, make sure the modem is configured correctly, if this is the first time you installed linux on that machine, you may need to use isapnp to configure it. use minicom to manually talk to the modem, i suggest using the jumpers (if available) on the modem to hard code the modem to a specific IRQ and I/O address, also make sure there are no conflicts with the modem settings any any other devices (see /proc/ioports and /proc/interrupts. i had a modem hardcoded to IRQ3 recently in a system with 2 intel eepro 100 Network cards and one of the cards was on IRQ3 as well preventing communication with the modem. also make sure the serial port setings are correct by running
setserial /dev/ttyS0 make sure the I/O port and IRQ are right, the rest is usually ok to leave at the defaults for a modern modem. make sure the modem is not a winmodem either, its best to use either external or even better an internal ISA modem. diamond 56i modems seem to work pretty good for me(ISA) they run about $35 i think. the older 56i's had jumpers it seems the newer ones have none but still can be configued through isapnp nate On Wed, 5 Jan 2000, Joseph de los Santos wrote: jh0u >Happy New Year! jh0u > jh0u > I get a connect script failed when I try to use pon to connect to my ISP. jh0u >it used to work before.
