I have a "Pctel HSP56 Micromodem"(internel) which is running fine on COM3 of my Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2. I installed SuSE Linux 9.1 (Personel Edition) with KDE desktop environment lately as a dual boot with XP. I'm a complete newbie and hadn't seen a linux desktop before. I configured most of the things but modem. The modem was detected by SuSE and i configured it with the help of Yast but when i tried to dial-in with the help of K-Internet i received the following error log:
SuSE Meta pppd (smpppd-ifcfg), Version 1.50 on linux.
Status is: disconnected
trying to connect to smpppd
connect to smpppd
Status is: disconnected
Status is: connecting
pppd[0]: Plugin passwordfd.so loaded.
pppd[0]: --> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.54.0

pppd[0]: --> Re-Sending: ATZ
pppd[0]: --> Modem not responding.
pppd[0]: Connect script failed
Status is: disconnected
pppd[0] died: Connect script failed (exit code 8)
I used all the ports possible and all possible options available, but all in vain. I consulte some linux geeks who suggested to get a new modem. So did i. I got a Conexant modem which is currently auto-configured by Win-XP as "SoftV92 Data Fax Modem" on COM4 and is working fine. But SuSE does not detect it. I re-installed SuSE but didn't help at all.......
I want to get into the world of "Open Source" but if i'm unable to connect to the internet.....
Please Help!!
Can updated drivers help??
If so where can i get the latest updates for those modems. And how do i install them??
If i'll have to upgrade my hardware, what kind of hardware should i look for??
What is KPPP and is it available in SuSE Personel Edition 9.1??
How can i configure WVDial??
Does Ubuntu Linux Support my Modems??
Can Fedura Core help??
I just want to switch to Open Source because of its security and performance!! Please help!!
