Dear All,

Thanks and regards,

What you need is just an IP address on your network interface and configure dns in /etc/nsswitch.conf and /etc/resolv.conf.

PLZ. HELP !!! --- HOW TO Configure my "Internal PCI MODEM" in Sol9-X86.

Hi Folks!!
I am Karthi from India and have recently purchased Solaris 9 for X86 Platform.
I am really at a loss as to how to configure my Connexant-based Internal PCI MODEM.
Will Solaris 9 recognise my Connexant-based MODEM from an Indian company or do I have to purchase any other "Solaris 9 supported MODEM Chipsets"?
Can you please help me out by giving any weblink or brief steps to go about it.
I will be grateful to you and advance thanks to whoever is willing to help this helpless amateur.
Bye and have a nice day!!!

Ok here is a brief answer to your question if it is a Linux HCL modem then you can search on google or check out http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/ for information.
If it is a winmodem then you pretty much have a worthless modem for running any type of Unix/Linux. However you should be able to buy a Serial Modem for around $30-$50 USD that is compatible with almost anything since they have been around forever and use a different communication scheme than PCI.

IMac11,2: How do you use internal modem without a modem port?

This is driving me nuts. How on earth do I dial up somewhere from my iMac, or even send or receive a fax, when there is no modem port to connect my modem lead to, and thus connect the Mac to a phone line?
I rang Applecare but they didn't even seem to know there was an internal modem on the Mac, or even how it used to work with a direct connection to the phone line. They seemed to think I could attach the modem lead to my router. But I rang BT re my Home Hub 3 and they didn't know either. There is no modem socket on the router.
So I searched Apple Support and found a reference on page 11 of the following manual:
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iMac_Early2009_UG.pdf
saying:
"To use a dial-up connection, you need the external Apple USB Modem, available from the online Apple Store at www.apple.com/store or from an Apple Authorized Reseller. Plug the Apple USB Modem into a USB port on your iMac, and then use a phone cord (not included) to connect the modem to a phone jack"
But when I rang the Apple Store they said they didn't sell Apple USB modems. They, too, didn't seem to have any idea of what I was talking about.
I cannot be the only person in the world who wants to dial-up places from their Mac. There are three reasons for wanting direct dial-up:
1) Sending and receiving faxes
2) Connecting to a company server via dial-up (and I am talking a major national newspaper here, not a small outfit)
3) Using a dial-up internet service when the broadband goes down
All very good and important reasons for needing to be able to connect the Mac to the phone line, I am sure you will agree.
But how on earth do I do that now?
Thanks
Sarah

Hi Niel,
Thanks for the speedy reply.
But my iMac does seem to have an internal modem because it shows up in Network prefs under the list of available connections, and there is still a fax option in System prefs too.
Plus it shows up in System profiler under Network/Locations/Automatic as follows:

How to configure the network on Sun Solaris 8

The Sun workstation is a license server, and Window NT workstation need to access the license file that located in the sun workstation.
Now the Window NT workstation cannot connect with the sun solaris, and I guess that I need to configure the network on Sun Solaris 8.
Could you please tell me how to do that step by step?
If there is the system tool like the window system to configure the network easily and quickly.
I appreciate it.
Mark

If your sun system is working then probably it has network configured already .You can check it by the following command on the sun.
ifconfig -a
Generally applications asks where license server is located and you need to give the ip-address or host name only . Application docs will give more detail about it.
You can get ip-address from ifconfig comand above.

Internal modem and solaris

Hi,
can internal modems be run on solaris? Or solaris just hates to recognize them?

Hello.
Most internal modems are so-called "winmodems".
This means that the modem is more or less a sound card; the actual data processing is done by special algorithms in the modem software.
The name "winmodems" come from the fact that the manufacturers normally only provide software for Windows. Sometimes they sell software for Linux (but this costs additional money).
Because the manufacturers do not provide software for Solaris you won't get the modem running.

ZFS Configuration Question - Also posted in Solaris x86

Hello,
I have 2 x 140GB (hw Raid-0 + spare). About 20GB is allocated to Solaris on UFS (standard installation and partitions/slices).
I would like to allocate the 120GB left on the disk drive to ZFS. That space is not unallocated to any file system for now.
I found a lot of documentation of how to create a ZFS Pool on an empty disk drive. The documentation is less clear on how to do it on a drive already use by another FS.
Any help will be appreciated.

Darren,
I just setup another Solaris x86 server tonight to play with. That future production server is in it's own vlan wtih no Internet access for now.
The test server has the same configuration, but less disk space.

How to configure a Graphic Terminal at Solaris 9

Hello everyone!
I�m having difficulties while finding a compatible Solaris 9 driver for my video card.
I have installed Solaris 9 in my PC, but I can only work with the text terminal, what is not interesting because I need to export a remote window from a server to my local machine.
I�m using Diamond Multimedia Viper II Z200 as my video controler.
Any help is useful.
Thank you all for the attention.

From the command console run:
/usr/sbin/kdmconfig
Configure the hardware device by selecting the closest match. Please pay attention to the other configurable items as well. Make certain you get the mouse, monitor size and display resolution correct in the process or you may end up locked onto a blank screen.
I don't recall seeing that type of (Diamond?) Video Card in the device options of kdmconfig but I have never looked for it. Perhaps you might want to slip a common ATI or Nvidia card into your AGP slot if you can't find a device driver for yours.
best...

How to configure network printer on solaris 10 intel based

how to configure the network printer in solaris 10
like hp laserjet printer/printers,

Very very easy.
Go to the print manager . (printmgr I believe or in the launch menu under preferences)
select add a network printer
Fill out the info. I find that the hpijs printer driver works better then the suggested foomatic on my hp 4000s. I could not print pdfs otherwise.
Other things to know is the protocol should be BSD (at least it works for me). And add the port to the destination so 192.168.0.1:9600 for example (for hp).
thats about it. To have it show up correctly in JDS you should probably add it to the printer list under the launch->preferences->printer preferences.

Satellite A305-S6872 internal modem configuration for call waiting

Can someone point me to instructions for configuring the internal modem (suppose to be V.92) to work with call waiting on a Satellite A305-S6872? I would like to be able to hear the phone ring when a call comes in when I am connected to my ISP so I can decide if I want to take the call. Currently, I can configure the settings on my ISP to work with call waiting but I cannot hear the phone ring when I get a call. My ISP tells me I have to configure the modem in the laptop.
Thanks.

Satellite A305-S6872
Won't hurt to reinstall the driver. There are three listed for your model. The first two have the same version and release date, but the file size is different. Try them all.
   Realtek Audio Driver for Windows 7 (32/64) (Version 6.0.1.5904 - Released 09/04/09)
   Realtek Audio Driver for Windows 7 (32/64) (Version 6.0.1.5904 - Released 09/04/09)

Default Internal Modem missing

My internal modem was working perfectly for a while now when I was using strictly as a fax modem. All of a sudden it stopped and now it is missing. Does anyone know how to get this internal modem back so that it is recognized by the system and will work again ?
Many thanks,
Sol

Hi Sol,
If your internal modem does not appear in the list of Faxes when you try to configure your Fax preference pane, send your fax anyway and the internal modem will come back...
It happenned to me on a fresh Tiger install and I found this hint (I do not remember where).

Sending Faxes using internal modem and DSL

I found that I can receive a fax, but I cannot send one. When I try and send one the internal modem tries to connect to the internet using "internet connect". It searches for a number to connect to the internet. Since I am using DSL now I don't have a phone number to dial into the internet. If I put my phone number in it calls me and gets a busy signal.
Can someone tell me how I should be configuring the internal modem?

From the Knowledge Base at
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh1797.html
Sending a fax
You can fax files directly from your computer to any fax machine or computer that is set up to receive faxes. If your computer has a modem that is connected to a phone line, it is automatically configured to send faxes.
Open the document you want to fax.
Choose File > Print.
Choose Fax PDF from the PDF pop-up menu.
Type the fax number of the user you want to receive your fax in the To field.
You can also choose users directly from Address Book by clicking the Address Book button to the right of the To field. Be sure you have a fax number listed for each user you choose in Address Book. For more information about using Address Book, see Address Book Help, available in the Help menu when Address Book is open.
If necessary, type the dialing prefix required for the phone system you're using in the Dialing Prefix field. (For example, if you need to dial a 9 to access an outside line, type 9 in the Dialing Prefix field.)
If you want to send a fax through a modem other than your computer's built-in modem, choose it from the Modem pop-up menu.
If you want to send a cover page with your fax, click the Use Cover Page checkbox and type a message in the Message field.
If you need to change any of the preset faxing options, choose the type of options you want to change from the Fax Cover Page pop-up menu. (To see options for the application you're using, choose the application from the pop-up menu.)
If necessary, select options for the type you chose. (For example, you can select the number of copies you want faxed if you chose Copies & Pages in step 8.)
Tip: If you have a combination of options that you frequently use when faxing a document, you can save it as a "preset." After choosing your options, choose Save As from the Presets pop-up menu and type a name for the set of options. If you want to use this set of options when you fax a document, choose its name from the Presets pop-up menu.
Click Fax.
The fax is sent as soon as your modem is available. (For example, if you're using your modem to connect to the Internet, the fax is sent after you disconnect from your Internet service provider.)
You may want to send your fax at a later time. For example, you may want to send it at night when telephone rates are lower. Just choose Scheduler from the Fax Cover Page pop-up menu, and enter the time. Make sure your computer is on, is not asleep, and is connected to your phone line at that time.
