<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi there.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have been trying to install my SupraExpress 56i V
Pro (127A:1002) in linux for some time know.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Using "uname -m" i was informed that my system is a
i586, but when i tryed to install the the correspondent rpm
(hcfpcimodem-0.98mbsibeta02090100k2.4.18_3-1rh.i586.rpm) i was notified that was
installing the wrong rpm.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So, i tryed to install
hcfpcimodem-0.98mbsibeta02090100k2.4.18_3-1rh.i386.rpm, wich didn't originate
any problems.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>After installing the driver and using kppp i was
able to query my modem, but when i tryed to go online i always got a BUSY
signal. I tryed to change my init/dial string in kpp, like someone in the list
had said, but it didn't help (in one of the changes i passed from a Busy to a No
Carrier signal). During all these attemps i never heard a beep coming out off
the modem. Complete silence. :-\.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>All the No Carrier solutions that i found where for
Suse...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So with nothing else to do, i began inspecting my
win2k driver files and logs and comparing it with
/etc/hcfpci/inf/hcfv90_linux.inf.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>When i found that there where "similar parts" i
replaced the parts in hcfv90_linux.inf with the parts from win2k
(oem11.inf).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>After this i executed hcfpciconfig and was able to
select my modem from a list (since it was no longer detected), i selected the
updated hcfv90_linux.inf, and chose my country (PORTUGAL).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The next thing i did was trying to connect using
kpp, it dialed my isp (with all that great sound that i was used to) and finally
connected!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>But still... no net. :-(</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am not able to browse the web, and my pings just
don't get through...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have also copied the init strings that i found in
my win2k modem logs, but that didn't help.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm just a beginner relating linux and in order to
learn more i would like to go online "through it", not having to reboot each
time i need more info.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any help would be great!! :-)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Info on what are the correct steps to follow in
order to install my modem would also be good. :-)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
