[hcflinux] Help! Aopen FM56-PM modem will dial but won't connect

[Jean-Simon Durand]

Hi,

you should try to dial your ISP with a terminal software like minicom and
see if it connects properly. If it works, then the problem is probably with
pppd, and not the modem driver. If it doesn't work, verify the output from
the command "dmesg" to see if there is any error message.

Regards,

Jean-Simon

Subject: [hcflinux] Help! Aopen FM56-PM modem will dial but won't connect


I have a FM56-PM pci winmodem and I successfully installed the driver. I ran
hcfpciconfig and it successfully identified my modem with vendor ID 14F1 and
device ID 1036 (which is correct). The problem is when I dial my isp, it
will
dial but it will not actually connect. I know my isp uses PAP
authentication,
and that is what I specified to pppconfig. I am using pppd to dial my isp (I
don't have kde or gnome installed).

My distro is Debian 2.2r4 and my kernel is 2.4.20. I have even tried
uninstalling and reinstalling the driver several times, and I still can't
get it
to connect.

I also have a 14.4 ISA modem (not a winmodem) and it will successfully dial
and
connect to my isp.

If anyone has any idea on why my winmodem won't connect I'd really
appreciate
some help.
