I planned to install Stardust 2 in a friend's laptop, but it couldn't detect the modem. I tried the "manual install" by clicking on the buttons for ttyS0, ttyS1, ttyS2 and ttyS3 to no avail. At this I was stymied, so I abandoned my plan to install Stardust, and tried installing Dpup -- and Dpup found the modem immediately, calling it /dev/ttyLS0 (if I recall correctly). So, I'm wondering whether all I needed to have done to install Stardust was to edit /etc/wvdial.conf and set the line to: Modem = /dev/ttyLS0 Does this highlight a shortcoming in Stardust? -- that it can't detect the modem if it's /dev/ttyLS0 |

That may be so, but I don't think that addresses my question. Even before the system goes looking for the appropraiate driver, it has to detect that there is a modem and determine what model it is. Stardust failed to find any modem, yet all along the modem was sitting there as /dev/ttyLS0 !!! So my question is, would setting modem=/dev/ttyLS0 in the config file have constituted what is meant by manual install? Is that all that's involved? BTW, I myself am using Stardust, it works just fine with my 500MHz desktop and external modem. |

The problem is probably that Puppy 4.3.1 has a daemon running (/etc/rc.d/init.d/slmodem) which I also has removed from Stardust. Initially Stardust was build for my personal purpose. It seems that Stardust has got some users, so I will consider to put back the modems. Sigmund _________________ Stardust resources |
