<DIV><BR>I got some idea from previous correspondenses on the hcfmodem lists for the 'NO CARRIER' </DIV>
<DIV>problem.<BR></DIV>
<DIV>I tried it all but no responses - am I doing it right ?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>1) <BR>I changed the current.cty and current.inf files only at<BR>"HKR,OEM,FLAGS,1,"<BR>"HKR,Country\XX,RELAYS,1,"<BR>"HKR,Country\XX,FLAGS,1,"<BR>based on the working modem .inf and .cty files in Windows.<BR>No result the modem dials too early ... NO CARRIER finally</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>2)<BR>Also I tried adding the kernel boot parameters:<BR>pci=noacpi acpi=off apm=off to grub.conf in /boot/grub<BR>But again No result the modem dials too early ... and NO CARRIER</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>3)<BR>Then I downloaded your latest tar packages for riptide and hcfmodem<BR>(riptide-0.6lnxtbeta03091200.tar; hcfpcimodem-1.00lnxt03091600free.tar) <BR>after installing both when I run hcfconfig it gives 'modem driver not active' or something of the </DIV>
<DIV>sort and it doesnt work) </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>4) Then I reinstalled the older hcf drivers after uninstalling the new one . . . <BR>The old driver version <BR>hcfpcimodem-0.99lnxtbeta03042700.tar<BR>atleast loads and dials - but the new one (noncommercial free limited capability ver.) <BR>is useless it seems.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>A replication of the 'dmesg' is provided below:<BR></DIV>
<DIV>Do respond if you see anything useful below - I did not get any reponses last time round . . .</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I was pretty sure this time I would make the modem work - but I am on the verge of giving up !</DIV>
