  • Efax/HylaFAX - No Response From modem(ttyS1)

    Dear all,
       I install arch on an old laptop: ASUS Z9100 laptop (it has two systems: windows xp and Arch Linux version 3.4.9-1-ARCH). This laptop has a 56K Fax/Modem. Its detail is(lspci):
    00:1f.6 Modem: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Modem Controller (rev 03) (prog-if 00 [Generic])

        And it works in windows xp (can send and recieve fax).
        I install both efax and HylaFAX on arch, but it doesn't work. The efax response:

    I haven't worked with HylaxFax in a few years, and never used Efax.  But from what I remember HylaFax was *very* particular about the modem.  Did you confirm yours is one of the supported ones ?  Back then there were really only a few that definitely worked, along with many that were only partially supported and even more that just wouldn't work.   
    I bought an older, external MultiTech Multimodem specifically for HylaFax, since it was one of the "definitely works" variey.  Even then I had to reset it frequently.  Maybe things have improved since then, and I remember doing a lot of terminal commands directly to the serial port.
    So I'd recommend confirming your modem is officially supported, then checking if there are any commands you can run to check, reset, or manually test it.

  • Two Buttons not working, mistake on PCMCIA, modem,....

    Ok first of all I have problems with two of my four extra buttons on my Samsung X30. These two don't give keycodes when I try this with xev. Anybody an idea how to use these buttons anyway? When I push these buttons I get the following in demsg:
    atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0x75 on isa0060/serio0).
    atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes 75 <keycode>' to make it known.
    atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0x75 on isa0060/serio0).
    atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes 75 <keycode>' to make it known.
    atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0x74 on isa0060/serio0).
    atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes 74 <keycode>' to make it known.
    atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0x74 on isa0060/serio0).
    atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes 74 <keycode>' to make it known.
    I see what it says about setkeycodes but finally I didn't know the keycodes for this keys so I couldn't set it I think.
    Second problem is the PCMCIA. I configured YENTA as module and activated Cardbus in my kernel under PCMCIA and this is loading fine:
    Yenta: CardBus bridge found at 0000:02:03.0 [144d:c00f]
    Yenta: ISA IRQ mask 0x0018, PCI irq 11
    But when pcmcia daemon is loaded on init that the module I82356 couldn't be loaded and so I copiled this module in my kernel. Now I get message on daemon load that this module couldn't be loaded: no such device. Very strange I think. i82356 is a ISA bridge and I'm pretty sure I don't have one on my machine so I don't understand why he depends on it.
    I also get the message cardmgr[2739]: watching 2 sockets. I don't know exactly what this means but finally it has something to do with the pcmcia and the memory card reader I have on my machine which are both on the same socket or something like this. It would be very interesting if my memory card reader is working also when my pcmcia is working. I couldn't test both because I don't own such cards.
    Last but not least I want to set up my modem so when I need it in the future I can use it without problems. It's a AC97 modem and I activated SND_INTEL8X0 for the sound and SND_INTEL8X0M which should be the modem. The last one is marked as EXPERIMENTAL but I think it should work but I don't have a clue how to get it working and how I should see if the driver runs correct. I have installed ppp but I couldn't start it because I don't have a /dev/ppp and when I create one with mknod /dev/ppp c 108 0 and try it again I get:
    /usr/sbin/pppd: The remote system is required to authenticate itself
    /usr/sbin/pppd: but I couldn't find any suitable secret (password) for it to use to do so.
    best regards

    thx my modem is working now but I need the proper daemon script to load it because I had to build the package for myself and the script available in this tar don't run. Before I'll post this original not working script I must make something clear.
    The snd-intel8x0m driver can also be used to run this modem AFAIK everything runs with ALSA then but when I load this intel modem module My sound isn't working any more like phrakture said before. At the time it's better I think, to use the driver that comes with the slmodem package named slusb or slamr depending on what sort of modem it is exactly.
    But now my faulty daemon script for slmodem:

  • Issue to write/execute AT-commands for a 3G modem

    Dear community,
    For the past month, I'm searching for some help on this topic without success, "you are my last hope"
    After modification of the PPP parameters under network preferences (according the clear archive from apple support on this topic), the terminal windows is poping up without any problem.
    Then... I can't write anything on this terminal !!! The only actions I'm able to perform is cancel or continue button. I also press the Return key as apple support mentioned (issue for 10.2 or earlier), nothing.
    The test was done on a early 2010 macbook 13 and the same on a mid 2010 macbook 15, the same issue.
    - Am I doing something wrong or mac os restricted this com protocol?
    - Is there a way to command the modem trough the main computer terminal (which is working properly)?
    Thank you in advance!

    You've probably solved this problem long ago, but I came across this thread a couple weeks ago when trying to do the same and thought I post this .vi for future users.  This code is for a multitech MT5656ZDXV modem, but I think the AT commands are generic enough to be used with any voice modem. Hardware configuration requires and audio cable running from the PC speaker to the modem mic port.  Also, I had to use a Konnex Office Konnector telephone line A/D which required me to manually pick up a handset; the software prompts the user to do this.  Fancier A/Ds should eliminate the need for this and I have one on order.  If you have an analog phone line then there should be no need to use an A/D or manually pick up the phone.

  • How do I use a Netgear CM400 cable modem with my Time Capsule router?

    I switched out my TWC modem for one I bought. I called and activated a CM400 Netgear modem with time Warner cable. They said it is activated and responding. My time capsule is on a green solid light but i can't connect to the Internet! Why??

    Your previous setup may have been a modem router and the TC is connected in the wrong mode.. it should be dhcp and nat with a pure cable modem.. is it?
    You also might need to put the TC into the correct mode.. then power off the modem for about 15min.. (try 5min first).. power up the modem.. wait 5min and then power up the TC .. it should grab the public IP and route that to the network.. reboot all the clients so they get fresh connection and see if that works.
    If not give us a few screenshots from the airport utility of how the TC is setup.

  • How do I add an airport extreme to a cable modem with only one ethernet port, while keeping that port connected to my Mac?

    I have a mac pro connected by ethernet to a cable modem via ethernet.    There is only one ethernet port on the modem.   
    I want to keep the Mac connected via ethernet for speed.    Is there a way that I can add an airport extreme to this set up - for my ipad and roku, and for guests to use - or do I need to buy a router to put between the modem and the mac?
    If I need a router, what kind?
    Thanks.

    The modem connects to the WAN "O" port on an AirPort Extreme router.
    The Mac Pro connects to one of the three LAN <-> ports on the AirPort Extreme router.
    Or if you do not need the ability to connect a hard drive to the USB port on the router, you can save a bit by using an AirPort Express.
    The modem connects to the WAN "O" port, the Mac Pro connects to the LAN <-> port
    Either the AirPort Extreme router or AirPort Express router will allow up to 50 wireless device to connect.
    There are many other wireless modems offered by other manufacturers as well.

  • Wireless modem and Airport Express.. one at a time

    Recently my internet provider upgraded my old plug in modem to a newer wireless model. Now it seems that the current setting allow communication with only one or the other at the same time. If I want to be online with the wireless modem and send my iTunes music via Airport Express to my sound system, no dice. I have to either click on the modem up in the Airport choices to be online and listen to iTunes through the computer speakers, or go offline to listen to music through the sound system and Airport Express.
    I'm sure I'm just missing something in preferences or settings somewhere.
    Can someone point me in the right direction?
    Thanks, and Happy New Year!

  • DSL modem no longer recognized by computer

    I am on dial-up right now, because I can no longer connect to the internet with my Verizon DSL ever since Windows Vista failed to update a driver a couple of weeks ago, during regular Windows Updates. I have done extensive troubleshooting and all the tests boil down to something being wrong with the modem. The modem was working just fine, but now Windows does not recognize the device because it cannot update the drivers. It suggested going to the manufacturer's website. I found an update on the Verizon website, but the computer still does not recognize the modem.
    I have a Westell 2110 DSL modem. I downloaded the upgrade from Verizon's website:  B90-210015WebLoad_VER_01_00_35
    The computer says I am connected to the internet via Verizon, but I have limited connectivity to the local area connection. Therefore, my computer cannot connect to the internet.
    In summary, my computer no longer interfaces with my dsl modem, and yet has failed to update new drivers. Is this an example of Windows Vista not working with old hardware? Is there a way to fix this? Or do I have to buy a new modem? (expensive)
    And would it happen with a new modem? I can't use the installation CD that came with the modem because it does not work with Windows Vista.
    Please help! I don't want to waste money doing something that doesn't work or won't last.
    Thank you

    My DSL modem was doing similar problems and I couldn't figure out why, but one day I had a friend come over with his computer and it worked just fine on his computer. I still haven't found out the cause why my computer that is running vista is not working just that its not vista his computer has vista to. Have you tried another computer? Im no expert in this, but when my computer went out I was downloading the new Verizon Security Suite so I could keep the virus protection they offered. Im not certain that this was my problem but I do think my problem could be the same problem as you.

  • I had a failure of a dsl modem which inturn destroyed my ethernet port of non isight imac G5.  In attempt to solve the problem I did a clean install of leopard 10.5.4. I am unable to upate to 10.6,.7  or .8 without freezing system network preferences

    Dsl modem failure caused malfunction of ethernet port.  In attempt to solve problem I did a clean instillation of  Leopard 10.5.4 and then update to 10.5.5 with access to internet through apple usb to ethernet adapter.  If I attempt to update software to 10.5.6, .7 or .8 it freezes my network system preferences and computer will no longer shut down.  The network connection assistant also no longer sees a connection to the internet throught the usb/ethernet adapter.  I have checked they systerm Tech tool deluxe which shows no problems and also used hard drive utility on instillation disk which found no problems.  Permissions were also checked as well and no problems noted.  Any thoughts as I really like my imac G5.

    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
    If all the above fails, then it appears to be time for a relatively painless Archive & Install, which gives you a new/old OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space and no Disk corruption, and is relatively quick & painless...

  • WRT54GS with Mac OS 10.6.8 and RCN cable modem not working

    Hello,
    I have a Linksys WRT54GS, version 6 with Mac OS X (version 10.6.8) hooked up to a Scientific Atlantic cable modem, with RCN as the ISP.
    Recently, RCN had some network issues, and so I had to power down and reset my modem. The modem is working fine now -- no problems at all when the Mac is connected direclty to the modem.
    The router's network is OK in that I can connect the Mac wirelessly to the network, but I can't connect to the internet through the router (through neither the wireless or wired connection).
    I have downloaded the latest firmware update for the router, following the Linksys site instructions, but this has not helped me solve the problem.
    Does anyone have any advice as to what I should do? I did call Linksys tech support on the advice of RCN, and they said that the router does appear to be working (power, WLAN, and Internet lights are on), but they would be charging me nearly the cost of a new router to fix the problem.
    Any advice would be appreciated!

    Since you upgraded the Router WRT54GS with the latest firmware so once reset the Router and power cycle the whole network… Then connect the Modem with Linksys Router on the Internet Port and then connect any one computer to any one of the Ethernet port on the Router [Numbered – 1, 2, 3 and 4]… Let me know the RCN connection is a DSL connection or cable connection…
    So if you have a DSL connection you can refer to this link:
    http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?pid=93&login=1&vw=1&app=search&articleid=4020&userrole=Linksy...
    So if you have a Cable Internet Connection you can refer to this link:
    http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?pid=93&vw=1&articleid=3686
    As far as the wireless is concern:
    # Open up the browser and on the address bar type 192.168.1.1 that will open up the Router setup page…
    # Then Click on wireless Tab create the Wireless Network Name SSID and select the channel to 6, 9, and 11… Click Save Settings...
    # Then Click on Wireless Security sub tab and select the security mode and provide the password as per the requirement… Click Save Settings...
    After doing the settings try to connect the preferred network on the wireless devices and check the connectivity….

  • Why can I send email from my iPad, but my iMac which is connected to the same modem keeps telling me that it can't send the message using the same server?

    I have an iPad 2, connecting via Wifi to an Actiontec Q1000 modem.  The iMac (3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB 1067 MHz RAM, running OS 10.8.2) is also hard wired to the same modem.  Internet access is via CenturyLink.  Main email is from Shaw cable in Calgary (Phoenix is a vacation property), not through CenturyLink.
    Can receive email on the iMac, but every time I try to send, I get a pop up saying "Cannot send message using the server .......".  Further prompts me to verify the address in the email, and SMTP settings in Mail preferences, or to select a different outgoing mail server.  I've tried using a number of servers, always the same result.
    Using same settings in both devices.

    Mail is not my forte, but what I noticed was that you have Centurylink and presumably have your Mail set up with their settings? But then you mention Shaw/vacation property/etc - you can send out email only through the server that you have set up as an account using the ISP you are using. If you switch places, do you have separate accounts set up with both Centurylink and Shaw so you can switch and use whichever one you're at? A Phoenix ISP won't work with a Mail POP account unless you're in your home - Phoenix - area.
    Do you have a data plan with your iPad? That would explain why that works - it'll function sort of like a cellphone - works anywhere where there are signals.

    If your not hearing dial tone you might have your phone plugged into the wrong port. Most modems have 2 outlets, one is labeled line ( that is the one you should have plugged into the jack (RJ11C). If that's correct, query the modem and see if it tests OK, you may have a defective modem.

  • Connecting to a rmiServer application running on one computer through modem

    I am new to java and want to develop an application which is accessible by dialing in through modem.
    The architecture i want to develop is a access database and a rmi server application on my home computer and that to be accessible through my laptop using connection by dialing in through modem.
    In this way is it possible to access or will i have to have a URL and a web server also running on my home computer.
    I shall be very thankfull for any help in this regard.

    Hai,
    no, you don't need a Webserver for RMI. RMI is independent and uses the rmiregistry as backgroud application, which will open the TCP Port for the communication with your client(s).
    If you dial into your machine, your client will get also an IP Address, so you can access your server.
    Normaly you also have to configure the Server-IP for Modem-Dialin - at Windows 2000 Server you can look into Routing & RAS for this IP.
    In this case, you have to access to your RMI Server-App through this IP and the Port specified by you for miregistry.

  • How to set up TimeCapsule (4th) to create own private (wired) network behind Airport Express (5th) that is set up to join existing wifi-network of fritz adsl modem/router?

    I work in an office building with free Wifi to connect to the Internet. I want to be able to use this internetconnection, but at the same time I want to shield of my own wired network.
    I've made the following configuration:
    - fritz adsl modem / router
    - Airport Extreme (5th gen) set up to join existing wireless network (green light, works)
    - Lan-cable from lan-port AE to wan-port TC (4th gen)
    - Lan-cable from TC to Mac
    - Lan-cable from TC to Printer
    When I set my TC (network-settings) in bridge-mode everything works fine, but my Mac and Printer get an IP-address from the fritz modem / router and are visible to others.
    I tried to set TC in NAT/DHCP-mode, but then I get the error message that I should set a static IP-adress for TC. When I set TC in DHCP-mode, it looses connection to the AE. I'm not sure what to do now. Does anyone know how to set up my TC and create my own private network and still be able to get on the internet?

    Is there a better alternative? I'd rather not want to reset my TC every day.
    You are using free internet.. so there is a price to pay.. that is convenience and non-ideal network setup.
    The better alternative is to pay for your own connection. Then you are completely free of the possibility of others in the bullding seeing your connection. (as long as you secure the wireless).
    But I think you are probably over worrying about public wifi.. if it is setup right.. ask the building admins.. it should be setup so each user cannot see another users connection. This is typical for most wifi setup and simply means you can see internet connection but nobody else on the connection. ie other wireless users.
    Having a router with NAT makes it then more secure again and allows clients on your own network to interact with each other. But you can setup wireless to the free wifi for every client.. (depending on how many IP you are allowed).. and run a secondary network without internet access. This is easy for desktop etc where you have a wireless and a wired connection but less convenient for mobile devices.. unless you use a cloud connection and each client can link and share via that.
    Have I made the explanation worse??
    Think of it this way.. if you had 3 laptops.. all 3 could connect to the internet from the building wifi.. but they cannot talk to each other or share resources in local office. You can put resources out in the cloud, that can be shared.. but that adds traffic and most free services are not fast.
    Now you can also plug all three into Time Capsule by ethernet.. and share local resources. Files, printers backup etc. This network is not connected to the internet at all. Each laptop has internet via free wifi and local connection.
    For devices like iphones that have no ethernet or other method.. you could use local wireless and public wireless.. but in turns.. still the only advantage is less issues with double NAT.. if that causes problems.. then this is an alternative.

  • How to set up email, add apps, use web through wireless modem?

    Hi,
    Have a new 8310. OS is v4.5.0.37 Platform 2.7.0.55I'm in Australia, currently with Telstra but in the process of changing.
    I have not purchased a data plan for the phone. I have a wireless modem for my desktop & wondering if I can use this to connect my phone to the web without purchasing data?
    Do I need a data plan to send emails? Can I use my existing online email acct(yahoo), or do I need to set up a special one for the phone? If so, please explain where/how? If not, what other info do I need to configure the existing one? It seems I need a PIN as well as e-addy & password(& assuming it's the yahoo password?)
    TIA

    Do I need a data plan to send emails?
    Yes. Basically, to do anything other than use the phone, you need a data plan. Period.

    PIN...hmmm...there are many definitions for that acronym in the BB world. The most usual one is a unique identifier, much like an IP address or phone number, that is assigned at the factory to your BB. It is used to register your BB for various services (yes, via a data plan) so as to identify your BB on the network.
    I hope that helps.
