ibook modem setup under KDE

[tcordes]

ibook (old style at 300 mhz) modem configuration problems with KDE from the YDL version 2.3 install.

I need directions on how to get the Kppp(internet dial-up tool) to find my internal modem.

After logging in as a root, I go thru the different options and when i try to test it, I get an Error Window that says kppp can not open /dev/modem.

What am I doing wrong?

thanks

You may want to do a dmesg to find out the device name of the modem:


# dmesg | less


This will give you the messages from when you booted into Linux; it lists the devices it finds at that time. When you find the modem's device name, plug that information into kppp instead of /dev/modem, or make a sybolic link from /dev/modem to the actual device name. Hope that helps.
