setting up a Dial-up network with KPPP

[unix_Hussi]

I found this neat little tool in my networking folder on my computer called "KPPP".I typed all the info into the program and clicked connect.That dissapeared and then another box popped up that sayed "looking for modem",A long time later it said "intitalizing modem'.Am I doing something wrong because it takes a long time to get this far,I think its the modem.I think the reason for it not having a driver is the problem,Ill list the specs of the modem below...

Manufactuerynex
Speed:56 Kbs
Type: V.92
Interface:PCI (internal)
Model (as shown on box): DX-M100
Everything else: Data/Voice/Fax Modem

Can anyone do a little research on this?I think I will need a serial modem,Dose anyone know of a good brand or model?

Don't know, I do know that Dynex redirects to Bestbuy in WIkipeda and their web site (Dynex) says: This site is best viewed with Microsoft® Internet Explorer

So I betcha it's probably a Winmodem

Damn,I hope not.But if it is then I will need a driver or something,Got one?.If not,Then I will need to whine and moan till I can get a Serial modem.Are these things expensive?

Why don't you just avail of a Personal Plan ADSL like mine? Don't you have such plans in your area? I only have a plan that is 128KB/sec download and 64KB/sec upload, "always on", which has only a monthly of 800 Philippine Pesos or $16/month. I just thought I'd let you know. I still have a Dialup Modem installed in my system which I use as a secondary pay-per-use connection in Windows in case ADSL goes down. And I also can't get it to work in both Linux and BSD. It is not even detected by KPPP. Its brand is Conexant. I'll research this dialup thing.

I usually pull dial up modems at the first upgrade when I need a slot. I have one in ma's Dell, and one on my closet shelf next to an ATI Ultra Rage 128 Pro AGP Video card

O.K.,I went to KDE-apps.org and downloaded a dialer called Konnect and also konnection,Ill list the links below

Paste these into your web browsers adress bar
Anyway,I dont know how to install a TAR file. heres a sample file name:
Konnection.tar.gz
Konnection requires gambas so I have to download that,but it is also a TAR file so no luck there :roll: [/url]

I'd guess it's making you compile from source?

unpack tar.gz files using Ark, 7-Zip PBI, or the command lines tar command. Save to where you want to unpack it to, click tools-> open terminal in konqueror and run this command:

tar -xzf ./Konnection.tar.gz

and it should upack it into the current directory.

You'll probably be best off using the terminal from here. You'd want to check any files named README or INSTALL for notes, cd into the src directory and run

./configure

Adding any -options you need to too configure.
Run make install clean and it will try to compile it.

Wow,Thanks for the help!

It dosent work!it tells me there is no such file or directory

[TerryP]

Are you using ark or tar?

Ark is very good and supports tar.gz files, kept my ass in one peice untill I could learn tar good enough to survive without a GUI.
