**Fallen Angel** · 01-28-2005

Did anyone of you tryed to connect using ISDN on Slackware? I'm using external modem U.S. Robotics but I can't connect with ISDN.

Im using isdn with slackware 10 with a multitech external modem the128 iway hopper. Its an isdn modem. it works right out of the box.
Is your USR an isdn modem? it has to be to work with an isdn line.
If its an analogue one it will not work.

Wow! I never thought someone will reply to this post since it has been a long time. Well, I'm using Santis Communicator box with one USB and two ab ports. Sorry if I can't answer all your questions because I'm not an ISDN expert. I'm good with modems since I'm using them almost all the time.

I connect to the internet using an external netMod ISDN modem. It works OK for me (Slackware 10).

**Fallen Angel** · 03-01-2005

How did you configure it?

**Goran** · 03-01-2005

Here is the drill:

Code:

/etc/rc.d/rc.hotplug start
dmesg | grep usb &#40;to check if it went ok ?&#41;

usb.c&#58; registered new driver usbdevfs
usb.c&#58; registered new driver hub
usb.c&#58; new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 1
usb.c&#58; USB device 2 &#40;vend/prod 0xbf1/0x2&#41; is not claimed by any active driver.
usb.c&#58; registered new driver acm

mknod /dev/ttyACM0 c 166
rm /dev/modem
ln -s /dev/ttyACM0 /dev/modem

my /etc/ppp/pppscript&#58;
TIMEOUT 60
ABORT ERROR

You can also run pppsetup to set these files up. To connect I just type ppp-go and everything is OK. You need to dial a ISDN ISP number for it to work.

hi Fallen Angel,

Googling bring me to this discussion and now i'm curious did you work out with your ISDN connectivit on slackware?.
If yes I will love to know "HOW" ?

I have also the same SANTIS Communicator modem (usb) that you have. Okay here are the lines from "dmesg"

#dmesg | grep usb
usb.c: registered new driver usbdevfs
usb.c: registered new driver hub
usb.c: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 1
usb.c: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 2
usb.c: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 3
usb.c: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 4
usb.c: USB device 2 (vend/prod 0x681/0xb) is not claimed by any active driver.

As "Goran" suggested to you after that you have to created some node manually but I can't see the line Goran pasted in the end of dmesg i-e ...
" usb.c: registered new driver acm" .
So Without this I can go for other setups.

Any help in this regards will be greatly appreciated.

regards

Hi askar. I'm afraid me and you are stuck here. Goran isn't using the same ISDN as we. But his ISDN is supported with an acm driver. I couldn't fix it. I searched the net but I couldn't find drivers for Linux.
