    Problem with KPPP

    Hello everyone, I am a newby to unix & to this forum. I am having a problem connecting to internet using my samsung e250i phone as a usb modem. yesterday I was using backtrack 3 from a live cd. There I didnt face any trouble. My system was recognising my phone as dev/ttyacm0.(Using KPPP)

    But today I installed redhat linux 9 & here KPPP seems not to recognise my phone. there was no device listed as dev/ttyacm0. there are others like dev/usb/acm...... but those arent working.

    Can anybody please help me with my problem.

    The problem with Red Hat 9 is it was released almost ten years ago. I believe those bastards at Red Hat did not include support for future hardware ...

    Try a newer distro e.g. Fedora or CentOS.

    thnks for ur suggestions guys. I also belive that old version is the root of the problem. as I checked the version info for kppp of backtrack 3 it was newer than kppp of rhl9.

    You can't go wrong with Ubuntu, or Kubuntu if you like KDE.

    And FreeBSD is not Linux, BTW.
