Re: please help

Hasham,

Sorry if I sounded harsh :(  I only have written instructions for
installing the modem driver. To test it, after it successfully
installed, Let's say you got to run
$ make clean
$ make
$ su -c 'make install'
and it succeeded, you would have to load the modem driver and I since
I have not run that specific case(modem), I have run the 11c1:0620(30)
modems using the other agrsm modem package, you would run
$ su -
passwd:
# modprobe agrmodem
# sudo modprobe agrserial
and then run
# agrmodemdaemon which may reside in /etc/rc.d/init.d/, depending on
where it installed successfully or not then run
# sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf

to see if wvdialconf  finds the modem port which should point to
/dev/ttyAGR or to /dev/modem if it is symlinked by init scripts?
I have not tried the 048 case since I do not have that modem in
particular.  Please see this thread it may help:

You are not wasting my time, We are volunteers and our task is to help
folks out there use Linux and be able to connect to the internet with
the winmodems whenever possible.  Hope that we can help achieve
success with this modem.  Please let us (list [email protected])
know if something worked/not worked and if you need further help.
Someone may have found a better way to get this modem working in an
easier fashion.

Regards,

Antonio
