I use the above modem, connected to my Ethernet port, with Fedora Core 3, kernel version 2.6.12-1.1378.
Is this the 302G that Xtra is providing free with it's broadband offerings? ... Seems to be something a little strange with the firmware loaded on it ...
1. Is there some thing I should be doing to access the server in Linux Firefox?
I use the above modem, and have no problems with Firefox under linux ... (can't say I was too bothered trying anything else)
2. If I can't use Linux Firefox, is there some other browser anyone's used successfully? (I tried lynx, but it wouldn't work, I suppose because of the need for username and password. Maybe one can add those to the lynx command string, but that's way beyond my capabilities.)
Lynx will probably break if there is javascript funkiness going on ...
3. Finally, I don't understand the effect of changing settings on the modem, but is it possible that changing them through Windows, which I think I could manage, would change them for Linux too? (I don't know how to express the idea technically correctly, but are those changes somehow internal to the modem and independent of the operating system used with the modem?)
On my particular modem, the web front end was (and still is) seriously brain dead. My other equipment was already configured to use 192.168.x.x ... so I really didn't want to go changing all my equipment to 10.x.x.x ... in the end I telneted into the unit and configured from there. To be honest, if it wasn't the cost, I wouldn't have bothered getting as far as I have with this one ...
If anyone can give me information on any of the above questions, I'd be very grateful.
I wouldn't mind if someone could point me in the direction of how to get around my SPA-3000 problems with one-way audio - but only if someone on freshtel calls me ... but until I get my asterisk box going, that's sorta off topic ;) Cheers all, Wazza.
