Modem Sporadically Works / Doesn't
Hardware is a crummy Creative Modemblaster v.92 with a conexant chipset. Drivers are beta RH8 from Conexant (HCF). I use wvdial v1.53 to dial, so here's the wvdial.conf entry I whipped up:
Code:
[Modem]
Modem = /dev/ttySHCF0
Baud = 57600
SetVolume = 0
Dial Command = ATDT
Init1 = ATZ
FlowControl = Hardware (CRTSCTS)
[Dialer earthlink]
Area Code = 717
Username = [user]
Password = [password]
Phone = 7031021
Stupid Mode = 0
Inherits = Modem
Problem is:
Starting yesterday, when I try to dial up my ISP, I get this sporadically from wvdial:
Code:
% wvdial earthlink
Initializing modem.
Sending ATZ
Sending ATQ0
Re-Sending ATZ
--> Modem is not responding.
%
There are no entries in /var/log/messages about the problem.
I have no idea if this is a hardware problem or a software problem with wvdial or the drivers. Unfortunately, there are no newer drivers for the modem. Anyone have suggestion on where to start investigating this? I'm going to try and get another modem later today from someone to try it with that, but until then, I'm stumped!
BTW: Nothing changed in the way of installed apps, settings, etc. before this started.
Thanks!
Chris
