HSF/HCF softmodem dotpup packages

[muggins]

just a few things...have you done ./configure,make. & thenmake install? also i thought, (i'm guessing here), that HSF modems linked /dev/modem with something other than ttyS?, like /dev/ttySHSF0?

from memory, with hsf modems, you have to run hsfconfig.

i'm not sure about you're printer...is it a combined printer/scanner? linuxprinting.org recommmends the hpijs driver for the 1510. they also have a ppd file for the 1510:

http://linuxprinting.org/show_printer.c ... P-PSC_1510

have you tried pakt's cups script?

for scanners puppy has the pupgets sane_backends & xsane gui frontend.

Thanks for help, yes hsf modem is SHSF0 thats all fine and working.
modem is working fine it dials connects script end starts pppd it negotiates a ppp session connection icon appears in bottom to tell you that connectivity is there, but when you start browser nothing resolves like no connection. Look at status tab of connection just an idle connection no bites received just 2 sometimes 4 packets sent and thats all no in out addresses . Look at my previous post I coppied log info. Its just an idle connection. I use gnome ppp dialer which is readly on the desk top. It seems that its not fetching anything from ISP's DHCP server. I assume it works like windows XP these days, you dont have to specify domain proxy or anything just leave everything to auto just supply username and password thats what I am doing. Do I have to fill in domain name?. When Gnome didnt work then I tried all the other dialers with no luck. Please note that I am totally new to Linux environment dont assume that I know anything type complete path for commands. I click console on desktop and type ./configure,make it say no file or directory. I have devx as you know its needed for compiling HSF modem driver went through hsfconfig also worked fine. Modem sounds, dials ok why doesnt it negociate a good ppp session?

Sometimes nameservers need to be manually configured. Find out the IP addresses of your Internet Service Provider's nameservers, they're usually listed on their technical support web page, then set up your /etc/resolv.conf file like this -

nameserver 123.456.789.1
nameserver 123.456.789.2

i had similar problem with my ltmodem & pup2.01. as i had no idea what was problem/solution i went back to pupversion that i knew worked for my setup, 1.08. maybe try tempestuous's suggestion of using your isp's dns addresses & see if that does anything.

[md_jamil]

Well I did right those lines but it didnt help any other solution I know its just a little thing but cant workout, cant go back to previous version my connection is too slow, cant afford to download all that lenthy stuff. Do you always configure ppp before you could connect to internet or it come preconfigured, help pages say its straight forward but it isnt

[md_jamil]

Have a look at the folloing log, it says ppp-secrets file has world and/or group access, is it the culprit, do we have to put something in ppp-secrets file to resolve this.

in a console, type:

chmod 600 /etc/ppp/chap-secrets

or right click the file in Rox to set the properties

this should not affect whether you are connected or not

one version of Puppy (202?), i couldn't connect until after the firewall was configured

[md_jamil]

I am using puppy 2.02 chmod 600 did help still same situation nothing changed. Just to give you a clue when I connect from XP modem speaker makes noise for longer period as if renegotiating connection speed and connects at 24K instead of 56k because I have a slow telephone line and I know that, thats normal but when I connect from puppy modem make noise for less duration does it tell you guys anything. Is it to do something with modem initialization string ? just guessing

[md_jamil]

sorry there is a typing mistake in my previous post, chmod did not help it is still same condition modem hangsup line exit code 16.

[md_jamil]

is this the end no one know what to do /var/log/messages says pap-secrets has world and/or group access when I look at ppp-secrets its just a blank document. What lines to put in it to resolve this any body knows?putting username*password didnt help.

Sometimes the hex-ed version gives errors similar to what u are experiencing. If you using that one try recompiling it without the hex-edit.

[md_jamil]

Thanks for help I am new to Linux world, didnt really understand what you said, you mean HSF driver or the pap-secret file. If it is HSF driver where to find the otherwise one I only know this one in fact I did hack the driver with hex edit but it wasnt working in it raw form(14400) anyway.

[jcoder24]

you mean HSF driver or the pap-secret file

I meant the hsf driver.

However, I just remembered that some dialers don't work for some users/modems. Can you indicate which program are you using to connect? I'd recommend gkdial, that's has been the most reliable. Also try each of the options pap, chap and chat and see if any works.

[md_jamil]

I am using Gnome at the moment I think I tried gkdial as well didnt work.I will give it another try anyway, when you try to do pppsetup it says first run modem wizard, question, how to tell modem wizard that modem is ttySHSF0 it does not show in wizard. Gnome is readily available without pppsetup thats why I am always trying. Let my try gkdial

[jcoder24]

For the HCF/HSF modems you don't have to run the "Modem Wizard". You shouldn't need to run pppsetup either (I'm not sure if it is still being used).

[BarryK]

If you're using Gnome-ppp, don't. It makes the connection, but fails to
negotiate properly with the isp. Myself and many others had this problem.
A shame, as it looks good otherwise.
Gkdial is usually the best choice.

[md_jamil]

ok tried gkdial dials, starts pppd, negotiates ppp and stops after a few seconds exactly the way gnome did, when I look at /var/log/messages it has same errors as gnome (pap-secrets and chap-secrets file has world and/or group access) modem hangsup line (sighup). Well it turns out one must put some lines in those files to resolve this, at the moments they have just one line which says ( username*password ), any suggestions?
