problem with internal modem
by k_sapre＠softhome.net 15 Jul '02

15 Jul '02

Hi luggers , I've installed Mandrake 8.2 & I am having Motorola SM56 PCI internal modem on ttys3 or com4 . I am trying to connect to Internet thru Linux. I tried to configure my system using Mandrake Control Center , but when i clicked on "Connect" tab , it shows "connection failed" after sometime. When I list my hardware using HardDrake tool it lists my modem correctly , so I think Linux has recognised my internal modem . But when I click on properties for modem , it shows all details like vendor and all except for 'kernel modeule ' for which it says 'UNKNOWN' . So do i need to install driver ? Please Help . Thanx in advance . Kedar.

But what I was actually trying to say was that a lot of work still needs to be done. Linux has an upperhand in server-end applictaions no doubts about that. But in the desktop area, Windoze still rules. Perhaps, we should learn something from the way they make their UI's. We always say that Linux is enetring the desktop area, but slowly.

If u are confident enough or want to experiment, try out the generic server or some other Xserver for asus chip and try it our if it works. However you need to have your card manual/user guide by your side as you may need the details.try it out. But be sure of what you are doing or you may thrash your system. However that may teach you a thing or two new about your system. The command for the same is Xconfigurator. to get a graphical login set the initdefault line in /etc/inittab to 5 happy experimenting. -->vinayak hegde ################################################# #Linux - The choice of the GNU Generation # ################################################# __________________________________________________________________________ http://dating.zeenext.com Log on to nextDATE.

It happens like this most likely because your mail server is only bound to your loopback interface. What mail server are you using? If you're using sendmail, then read the faq at sendmail.org to see your solution.

OBJECTIONS to setting up groupware + volunteering for ILUG-Mumbai

Sent: Thursday, July 11, 2002 15:48 > > If ny1 has ny objections/suggestions towards settin > up of the PRC site phpgroupware and phpnuke on the > site.....please let us know now. > Trevor Warren Just a suggestion. Instead of going in for a whole scale groupware wouldn't a CVS plus a bug reporting program (like bugzilla or track+) suffice for project co-ordination. We can add a discussion forum (like phpBB) here carrying project specific discussions. People contribute to software on an as and when basis and complete groupware package can get irrelevent here. Excuse me for slightly degressing from the topic. I am a latest entrant into the this ILUG community, though I am using GNU/Linux for more than 5 mths now. In maintaining the tradition of quid pro quo GNU/Linux tradition I wish to proffer my help to the ILUG-Mumbai activites. At present I feel I would be better off with the designing and maintaing of ILUG-Mumbai website. I spring from a hardware background and will be picking up the software concepts as I get along. So in short, can this tyro be of any help in this area -- considering the fact that I can regularly put in only an hour or so of work everyday. In the spirit of GNU, Happy Hacking! --
