Dialing ISP?

[hlrguy]

Alright, making more sense now. It is just a USB external modem. I think they are using the buzzword DSL to describe
the '5 times faster', but many people here use and configure
regular old USB Faxmodems. Adding in the 'DSL' part, which they told you is what threw all of us off. Simply a next gen usbmodem. I did a search on external and usb and modem, got many hits, but the most promising to help you next was

wow... this is getting to be a Little Like Work.

I Found a Post that talks about Setting Up a USB Cable Modem and getting it to Dial out. Check Out this Link

http://www.justlinux.com/forum/showt...hlight=minicom

(I Hope that linked Right... this is the First Time I Ran a Thread in a fourm)

But I Saw alot of Good Looking Info in their. Let me Know if you See anything I Need to really look at....

I have tryed ALOT of Diferent Commands trying to Get this Modem to be Seen. Abd I Think trying to go threw and Make ttyAMC0 be seen as My USB Device. I Think I Messed Up the Settings for Everything In Modems=)

So Reinstall And Start From Scratch


BTW. Is their a Way I Can Make

modprobe ppp_generic
modprobe ppp_synctty
modprobe n_hdlc
modprobe usbcore
modprobe usb-uhci
modem_run -m -f /path/to/alcaudsl.sys
pppd call adsl


run in a script?? like a .BAT file in Dos??

But any Way I Noticed ALOT of things In that Other Post that I Havent Looked at. So Im going to try some of those minor things.

I Still Dont Know Why in my Hardware Brouser Its Showing My Modem AS a System Device. and its not Poping Up under USB

any Ideas On that???


thanks

Here's a (very simple) bash script to run those commands:

#!/bin/bash
modprobe ppp_generic
modprobe ppp_synctty
modprobe n_hdlc
modprobe usbcore
modprobe usb-uhci
modem_run -m -f /path/to/alcaudsl.sys
pppd call adsl

Type that into an editor and save it as adsl_connect.sh or something similar.
Once you've saved it, make it executable using:
chmod +x adsl_connect.sh

Then you should just be able to run it by typing ./adsl_connect.sh from the directory you saved it in.
If that doesn't execute the script, try typing sh adsl_connect.sh instead.
