sudo apt-get install ls-modem-daemon sl-modem-source
by Glenn Stuart Morrissey 27 Oct '08

Hi Daniel I followed your instructions as per your email: glenn(a)glenn1:~$ sudo apt-get install ls-modem-daemon sl-modem-source [sudo] password for glenn: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Couldn't find package ls-modem-daemon glenn(a)glenn1:~$ When I went to read the readme file: glenn(a)glenn1:~$ cd /usr/share/doc glenn(a)glenn1:/usr/share/doc$ gedit sl-modem-source/README.Debian glenn(a)glenn1:/usr/share/doc$ I just had an empty screen. I ls'd the /usr/share/doc directory and I couldn't find any listing for sl-modem. Am I right to assume that this is not installed, and if so, how can I install the package from my install cd?

SpeedCom HP156M3
by Glenn Stuart Morrissey 25 Oct '08

25 Oct '08

Hi All I got it wrong, just did some reading at Wikipedia and I have got a PCI modem and not a serial modem..apologies. I have a SpeedCom HP156M3 Internal PCI 2 Wire ISDN Modem. I did a google search but couldnt find any drivers for Linux. Does anyone know where I might find some, or is the modem just a winmodem and thats all? Glenn Morrissey.

Re: [wlug] Is anyone able to help me configure a USB modem in Ubuntu
by gmorrissey＠kol.co.nz 23 Oct '08

23 Oct '08

hey all thanks for all the great information. I had a serial modem that came installed in the machine when I bought it a couple of months ago. Its a brand new computer and I couldnt get scanmodem to detect it, thats why I tried to install a USB modem instead. I can supply output of the scanmodem program if required. Thanks all Glenn.

Is anyone able to help me configure a USB modem in Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heon
by Glenn Stuart Morrissey 22 Oct '08

22 Oct '08

Hi there all Is anyone here able to help me configure a Lucent external usb modem? I know that Heron detects that there is a device, because when I run lsusb: lsusb Bus 001 Device 011: ID 047e:2892 Agere Systems, Inc (Lucent) and I have tried to run modprobe: sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x47e product=0x2892 but nothing appears to be happening??? I dont have a device manager installed, like I do on my Ubuntu 7.04 release, although I have downloaded the gnome device manager (gnome-device-manager-0.1) I wouldnt have a clue on how to install the package, remembering that I dont have internet access on this machine makes it a real pain, because there are drivers that I need for the display that I dont have. My querry on this matter is on the Ubuntu Forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5987714#post5987714 Please bear in mind that I am a complete novice with Linux and Ubuntu, but really REALLY want to get a working knowledge of it. Thank you Glenn Morrissey
