[etch] Modem configuration trouble

[Anoyzthen]

Hello

I run Etch testing kernel 2.6.18-3, from the KDE 1 CD version.
I've looked at several How-to's but I remain in haze.

the firware. version1.3 .deb was not really appreciated since it was rejected for installation by the package manager. so I've installed the 1.2 firmware for my speedtouch usb modem... and the installation went ok.
anyway it should be ok since i have the rev 0.0 of the modem.
On my system, I can't find no trace of the README.Debian for the corresponding speedtouch firmware file,which was supposed to guide me for further configuration.

However, following the how-to's i found over the net, I completed the files for ppp configurations. The peers file and the corresponding pap-secrets and chap-secrets with what I think to be the correct values.

The trouble appears when I run #pon
It's dealing with an unresolved /dev/modem entry in my configuration file.
I've check through the directory /dev and of course ther's no entry for this file...

I don't know if I have to make symbolik link to somewhere, and and I don't know where... or maybe there are other ways...

I don't know if my modem is well recognized also.

Any help appreciated.

i have a usb modem(cell phone) but this may help, edit the ppp conf file in peers and replace /dev/modem with /dev/ttyAMC0 type exactly as shown, the 0 after ACM is a zero not the letter o. then modprobe cdc-acm and then udevstart if u use udev.

Well indeed it seems it was only a trouble of PPP configuration files...
I haven't figured what I really did... but now it's ok and the connection is ok.

Still, I still haven't en /dev/modem entry...

But I won't complain since it works.
