Using Debian Etch,
Acer 3614WLCi laptop
Maestro Woomera modem through a USB to RS232 cable.
The modem is connected to the ISP but the system has dropped off the modem
connection.
The modem shows it's connected and yet the laptop isn't connected to it. I try
to run "pon" again. Nothing. I try "poff" It tells me there is no connection
running.
I manually switch off the modem, switch it on again, the modem tells me it's
intelligent. I type "pon" into a terminal, and the modem says dialling, and
does so and connects again. The lappy picks it up, and is again connected.
Something to do with PPP in Etch?
Would appreciate any help.
TIA,
Charlie
Can you talk to the modem using minicom?
I often use minicom to help me test basic modem functionality, such as
the ability to send AT commands and receive modem responses.
In minicom, you're typically talking to the modem, and if you say "AT"
to the modem, it should respond "OK"; if you say "ATI", the modem should
respond with its identification, for example, "SupraFax 33.6i"
