How can I connect via an Ambient Technology analog modem?

#1 Post by user29821x »

Hi,

I am trying to use my Ambient Technologies Inc HaM controllerless modem.

When I open PupDial, it says: Warning! No modem detected! You can not dial out!
I click on the CHOOSE button and on PROBE, but no modem is found. In the second field, the tab Automatic detection, it says Puppy did detect a modem and loaded the driver cdc_acm for it. Now I am not sure. Is this driver for my USB plugged UMTS-modem (which I am using at the moment for posting here)? Or is this for the Ambient Technology analog modem?

I checked the loaded modules with lsmod:

Code: Select all

Module                  Size  Used by
cdc_acm            12137  0
So it seems cdc_acm isn't used by any other module. But again I don't know, if this means it is not used at all or that is just normal.

I checked for the pci devices with lspci -v :

Code: Select all

00:0e.0 Communication controller: Ambient Technologies Inc HaM controllerless modem (rev 02)
	Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 11
	Memory at ec004000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K]
	I/O ports at 3400 [size=256]
	Capabilities: [60] Power Management version 2
So the device was found, got an IRQ and I/O ports.
What is the next step, I have to do?

Just in case I tried in PupDial, tab Manual Probing, the buttons ttyS0, ..ttyS4 . On none of them it detects a modem. Do I have to tell one of the modules to use use one of the /dev/ttySn devices? Or what else do I have to do next?

Thanks in advance,
Markus.

What specific version of Puppy you using?
The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.
When I was a kid I wanted to be older.... This is not what I expected :shock:
YaPI(any iso installer)

Sorry, I forgot to write that: Precise Puppy 5.7.1 . Therefore the Linux kernel is 3.9.11 .
