Hello,
i borrowed a d-link external modem from a friend of mine. i have rhl 7.3 fresh install on my sys. kudzu didn't detect it. i searched on google to find out that "/usr/sbin/kudzu -p" does detect it & it did. in fact it detected it & also my d-link sm56 internal modem, but i cudn't initialize it 2 work using kppp. kppp says "sorry, could not open modem"
i cud initialize the modem (external) using wvdialconf. when i ran wvdial, it said that the modem was connected to the net, but all the internet apps (mozilla, kmail, lynx, yahoo msgr, etc) i tried said cud not locate host.
what seems 2 b the problem?
i tried searching 4 a driver so that i cud get it configured automatically 4 use thru kppp, but cudn't find 1.
how do i configure using kppp?
the output (only part pertaining to modems) of "/usr/sbin/kudzu -p" is pasted below:
class: OTHER bus: SERIAL detached: 0 device: ttyS1 driver: ignore desc: "RSS|0240 56000bps External Fax Voice Modem" pnpmfr: RSS pnpmodel: 0240 pnpcompat: RSS0240 pnpdesc: 56000bps External Fax Voice Modem
class: MODEM bus: PCI detached: 0 driver: unknown desc: "Analog Devices|SM56 PCI modem" vendorId: 11d4 deviceId: 1805 subVendorId: 11d4 subDeviceId: 1805 pciType: 1

have u made /etc/resolv.conf entries? if not add these in /etc/resolv.conf:
nameserver 202.54.1.30 nameserver 202.54.1.18 nameserver 203.94.227.70 nameserver 203.94.243.70
the first two are vsnl's prim nd sec nameservers last two are mtnl's if u use other isp, add appropriate nameservers
i dunno abt kppp, never tried it

Please ensure that the entry /dev/modem (a symbolic link) is pointing towards proper entry. If you have connected your modem to COM1 port in Windows /dev/modem should point to /dev/ttyS0. for COM2 it should point to /dev/ttyS1. (Note capital "S")

cat /etc/resolv.conf
it's probably empty. what you should do, is set usepeerdns in /etc/ppp/options and symlink /etc/resolv.conf to /etc/ppp/resolv.conf
