(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Go easy on me. I'm very noob to linux and even newer to Puppy{1 week} but google and the Puppy forums have become my very good friends. The setups for these 2 modems work very well on my system {AMD xp1700+, 756 megs ram} running Puppy 2.12. Both work with WVDIAL only. I couldn't figure out how to write a wvdial.conf file that would work so I used a previously saved wvdial.conf from a hardware modem setup and just modified it. Here goes:

Zoom 2985L 56K Data-Fax
Go to console and type:
modprobe cdc-acm <press enter>

Modifiy wvdial.conf in the etc folder:

[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/input/ttyACM0
Baud = 115200
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 S11=55 +FCLASS=0
Phone = Type YOUR ISP Phone # here
Username = Type YOUR ISP Username here
Password = Type YOUR ISP Password here

Close all windows and click on WVDIAL in the Puppy menu...modem connects

Actiontec ex560lku USB/Serial 56K External Modem
Go to console and type:
modprobe pl2303 <press enter>
ln -sf /dev/usb/ttyUSB0 /dev/modem <press enter>

Modifiy wvdial.conf in the etc folder:

[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/usb/ttyUSB0
Baud = 115200
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 S11=55 +FCLASS=0
Phone = Type YOUR ISP Phone # here
Username = Type YOUR ISP Username here
Password = Type YOUR ISP Password here

Close all windows and click on WVDIAL in the Puppy menu...modem connects

Sorry about such a long post but I thought this info might help and the linux and Puppy gurus here might look at it and come up with something even easier for us noobs.

That's great!
I have saved your post, and sometime I'll have another look at the Modem Wizard ansd see if I can put your solutions into it.
