As mentioned in my earlier mail,u have to download the >driver file from the motorola's site .. Here's the URL: http://e-%3Ewww.motorola.com/products/softmodem/support/sm56_5.1_i38 6.rpm
And before downloading, don't forget to read the docs >that they've put up on the above mentioned link's parent >page which is

So,after u download the RPM file install the file using (Log in as root)
$ rpm -Uvh sm56.rpm (Replace sm56.rpm with >whichever file u've downloaded) $ /usr/local/sm56 $ reboot (I'm not very sure why we need reboot,but it >din't work for me .. I had to reboot)
They've also got a man page for the modem which u can >read by typing
$ man sm56
And voila! yr SM56 Internal modem is ready !! As of now I'm using SuSE 7.1(Thanks to Navin for >giving me the CDs) and the above mentioned procedure worked for >me .. However it failed in Caldera OpenLinux 2.3 .. May be >the older kernel was the problem ..
First of all thanks for the soulution to my problem. But I would like to ask what kernel vewrsion are you using? I tried to use the 2.4 version but found it very problematic. Is the 2.4 version shipped with Suse Linux 7.1 good enough for you? I actually went back to use the 2.2.18 kernal. About the driver from the motorola site i tried it out. It looks good, but does it work with 2.2.18 kernel?
And about the Roltanet connection ,
Is there anyone one the lug who is using RoltaNet's >dialup net services? I've been facing problems in connecting to the >RoltaNet ..

I use Roltanet in windows, but due to my modem not yet working in linux i have not been able to connect in linux. Please do tell me how you did it in linux? And about the speed differences in win & lin it may well be due to better implementation of the TCP/IP in linux than in Windows.
Bye for now

Yes, I use kernel 2.4.x (don't remember exact ver) which is shipped with SuSE 7.1 and it's working alright for me. Infact while installing it gives option for which kernel to install. I selected both of them.

No. I tried to install the driver in the 2.2.x kernel after successfully installing in 2.4 and it gave some failed depmod while installing the driver .. The docs say that it only works with 2.4.x kernel.
I use Roltanet in windows, but due to my modem not yet working

you did it in
As mentioned earlier,after installing the driver, I used Kdialer to connect as I am not very aware of proper working of any other tool (Gonna try wvdial or plain ppp after i finish restructuring my resume .. consumes a lot of time) Kdial is much like dial-up networking in windows .. Much intutive, I guess :-)
linux? And about the speed differences in win & lin it may well

better implementation of the TCP/IP in linux than in Windows.
Yes that's what i guessed..

I have just changed my modem. From USR 33.6 to a Dlink 56k modem, the problem is that , when dialing up the modem does not recognise the dial tone, I used wvdial to connect. The modem intialises O.K. Just the dial tone is nto recognised by the modem Vijay

You need to send X1 to your modem. Like, in my wvdial.conf, I add ATX1DT instead of ATDT, telling the modem to not wait for dial tone.

No it's not. If it was To Manish Jethani, then it should have been only to him. I think you get the point though. Generally, when I scan through my message index, I skip over messages that I don't think I can answer. These include those with (no subject). I just delete them without reading, so if you don't receive a reply for such mails, assume that everyone deleted it not knowing what it was in relation to.

Hi All,
I have a typical requirement and need some help.
1. I have a Novell Netware server running a clipper application. 2. I have DOS/Diskless nodes logging on to Netware server and using the clipper application. 3. I have 4 printers in the network 4. Users print reports from clipper application to selected network printers using Netware Print queues. 4. I also have a Linux Server with a printer attached to it.
I now wish to map a Netware print queue to the printer connected on the Linux server. Please suggest how to map the Linux Printer to Netware queue, so that clipper Application users can send prints to this printer.
Thank u sandeep

Use mars-nwe. That's a netware server that runs on linux. You can set up shares through it. I don't have my documentation with me, but you can read all about it in /usr/doc/mars-something or /usr/share/doc/mars-something.
It is the Samba of Netware.

hi there, after attaining Stallem's lecture i think there were some people in that hall, who will newer understand the meaning of that "free". nomatter how well you explain them it's all in vien. this was noticed when a question asked about a free hardwere, & whole hall started laughing thinking that guy was asking for any harware without paying for it. even if it was later explain by some other guy that he was talking about the architechture & not the price, i heard people making joke of him in TIFR bus to CST. i think they should have attained that LUGmeet on open hardware (or free hardware-whichever you like). they are total craps!!!

They are just ignorant, which is what we all are when we start off with Linux. It does take some thought to fully grasp the meaning of free. BTW what is the hindi word for free as in freedom. Maybe we should use that here. Also this freedom imposes the responsibility of being able to accept criticism without rancour, as well as understanding the limitations of various sections of society brainwashed into believing the rubbish dished out about trademarks, patents, copyrights and IP.
