hi,
I am trying to set up modem to access Internet. I have dual boot system with Win98 and Reh Het 7.3 (2.4.18-3) modem works OK when connecting to Internet using Win98 dial up networking tools.
This is my modem details Its SM56 PCI I Motorola Speakephone modem.
[root@localhost scanModem]# lspci |grep SM56 PCI 00:09.0 Communication controller: Analog Devices SM56 PCI modem Subsystem: Analog Devices SM56 PCI modem Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 5 Memory at e7000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=256] Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 2

I have a problem in that wvdial can't detect my modem. When use Red Hat 7.3 PPP dialer (Internet Configuration Wizard) Modem probing says no modem was found on your system
[root@localhost scanModem]# wvdialconf /etc/wvdial1.conf Scanning your serial ports for a modem.

Sorry, no modem was detected! Is it in use by another program? Did you configure it properly with setserial?
I already have driver for my Motorola PCI SM56 Speakerphone (data/fax/voice) modem.I got driver files for Windows from same site http://e-www.motorola.com/collateral/SM56_DRIVERS.html
I am using driver package http://e-www.motorola.com/collateral/SM56_5.1_I386.rpm

I tried using fixscript from http://www.heby.de/ltmodem (don't know if I need it since modem is not LT) but coudn't get it to run.
Do I also need an updated serial driver!!
This is what dmesg shows............. Serial driver version 5.05c (2001-07-08) with MANY_PORTS MULTIPORT SHARE_IRQ SERIAL_PCI ISAPNP enabled ttyS00 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A ttyS01 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A
no trace of ppp support or pppd daemon on my system. I thought ppp support was provided by default by RH7.3 kernel However after have tried to manually load sm56 [root@localhost root]# modprobe sm56
$lsmod and $cat /proc/modules always have sm56 1557324 (initializing)
Never stops initializing!
My /etc/wvdial.conf looks like this

[Dialer connect] Phone = 144000 Password = hidden Username = hidden Stupid Mode = 0
I tried other ports as well...... /dev/sm56 as one artical on web by Marvin Stodolsky suggests amd /dev/modem.Windows detected modem on COMM3 which would be /dev/ttyS2 in Linux but I haven't tried this yet. But there is this article which says it should't matter which internal port is being used by Windows for modem.
I have been searching using google for almost 2 weeks, had subscribed to close to dozen mailing lists, sent close to dozen mails but still no progress. I have researched problem well (ref. e-mail addreses I know of people who had posted to some mailing lists regarding this problem) .
I haven't considered option to throw away my modem yet! Any help would be very much appreciated.

Hi vinord,
IF you really want SM56 working, its should be possible, if you can get the kernel supplied with REDHAT 7.1, you should probably boot from the kernel which is present in 7.1 becaue it probably has the patches, which make the drivers which have been supplied by motorola, work. !
So you should probably:
* try booting linux with the kernel image present in the /boot of a redhat 7.1 system. and then try installing the drivers.
* see if this works.. i HAVE NEVER done anything like this before, but then again there is no reason why it should not AND as you are experimenting pls dont use it on any mission critical or important machine. If you are comfortable with linux, do read the The Kernel-HOWTO, to know more about what all you can do with the kernel.
* and do let us know if you are trying this and you are stuck, we can help you out and It could help other people with similar problems to find a way out.
regards
rahul

Hi,
forget abt thsi modem, do u have a trash bin ? use that. i have been searching for sm56 sol ever since i migrated to rh7.3, and then rh8. the scr is not open. the drivers are compiled for rh7.1 so either you move a step lower or forget abt it. just think that ur vallet got picked up by someone
sometime back someone has posted a list / link of internal modems supported under linux.

Take the desicion of thrashing it as quickly as possible if you like to use your computer in proper health. But, till then, I had the same modem, the depmod error never had any solution, I used it on RH 7.1, and it has worked only on that OS. I have however not tried downgrading my kernel to 2.4.2 and use the driver. RH 7.1 comes with 2.4.2, so you can give that a try provided you like to learn the process of installation of a kernel. Some warnings before you do downgrade and use the modem, the simplest way to use this modem is to use RH7.1 (preferrable PCQLinux 7.1 - since it comes preinstaled with this driver, just run sm56setup and it works). The comp used to hang approx ever 1 hour after using modem. I did never find any solution to the depmod error and every time on booting it used to stop at exactly that problem for approx 30 sec. to irratate me. Even after the proper installation wvdial will never manage to detect the modem, I used Kppp to connect to the net, I used /dev/modem as device.
The site also mention that it works on only RH7.1, so the best deal is to use RH7.1, but if you have any specific use of Rh7.3, then try to downgrade the kernel to 2.4.2 and installation of modem after that. Hoping to get some good news from you.
