Greetings, fellow Puppians
My softmodem port is /dev/ttySHFS0, and Puppies 2.17 and 3.01 detect this automatically on bootup. Puppy 4.00 does not. However, when I do the modem probe from Pupdial, it finds it with no trouble.
I'm guessing that a config file just needs a little tweaking. Which one, and how?
Thanks

How to get Puppy 4.00 to detect softmodem when booting
hi Irahapeti
best I can suggest is you use one of the puppy versions which will boot the modem, then locate /etc/rc.d/MODULESCONFIG
I think it is, where you should see your modem configuration ttySHFS0
save it to my documents or a usb key, so that you can copy it to the puppy which doesn't boot the modem
hope that helps
Failing that pm richard [rerwin] as he's good at modems

I've found a solution.
I added the following line to my /etc/rc.d/rc.local file:
Now Pupdial is ready to dial straight away when I open it.

Yes, Aitch, I knew you were leg-pulling. I think I was just a bit too cryptic in my reply.
Or maybe the "mature blondeness" also brings with it a lessening of the powers of witty reply. Your choice which one.
When I was a kid, I drove my parents mad (especially my conservative mother) trying to find out how things worked. Females just weren't supposed to do that, you know.
Those days are gone, and I for one am not crying. Now what's my next bit of cleverness going to be?
I don't know, but it's all tremendous fun.

When I was 7 or 8 I had a female friend who was every bit as inquisitive as me about how things worked, & she helped me take motorbikes to pieces as well as build boxcarts & crystal set radios - great fun,
......... then puberty came along and changed the focus
I think it's a huge shame that females don't express their curiosity in toys as much to young girls, as the technophobe female seems to be on the increase apart from phones/texting and ipods for noise/videos, and puberty still intervenes
So now it's dangerous for a guy to even consider trying to teach girls, as there are too many twisted minds, so matured women are going to have to step up
It's all perfectly normal, I say, & where the heck would we be, if we weren't curious? regardless of our gender!

softmodem works nicely
I just wanted to report success with auto detection of softmodem in Puppy 4.0
Actually I still don't know exactly which modem chip it is, but it works with the slmodemd driver its got to be some smartmodem.
it probably sits on the VIA chipset audio bus or sth. on a mitac laptop. It probably is not mini-pci or serial port attached.
yet it works nicely with picocom wvdial and all. great modem detection script in Puppy 4 !

Hi Irihapeti. Does "ready to dial straight away" mean you get online automatically at bootup or that you have to 'do something' after the desktop appears in order to connect?Irihapeti wrote:I've found a solution.

I think, puppy 4.0 was rather good at modem detection. it found my ttySL0 automagically no prob. (unless one deactivated serial probing at boot).
the same machine with 4.3.1 was harder, but I knew it was possible. I had to blacklist the autoloaded HSF modem drivers, then all was fine again.
scanModem.sh was very helpful here.
this is a very performant & reliable modem. the Delphi D40 is somewhat unstable and keeps writing stuff into /var/log/messages
