Topic: Modify Modeminit String

[Jochen Hoegerl]

Hi, as I'm a linux newbi I run into the problem that my modem wouldn't dial out.
I figured out that it uses X.75 by default. So I have to change it to PPP.
Could anybody tell me where to put the correct initstring ??
Btw. It's a ELSA Microlink ISDN TLPro (AT&F\N10%P1) and I use 4.1b3

Any help is appreciated

Your best choice is to consult your TA manual for instructions on saving AT&F\N10%P1 as the reset condition of the TA. AT&W will usually do it.

If you don't want to do that, you can change the Modeminit string using:

/sbin/e-smith/config set ModemInit '&F\N10%P1'
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event console-save

Well I can't do that because I "borrowed" it from our MIS-Section for
the weekend and all profiles in it are preconfigured.

I don't thought that it was this easy, I startet editing I think it was ipppp0.

Also I found that the damn backslash in the initstring messed it up.
I seems to be interpreted as a "CR" or "CR+LF". So I tried doing it
like you have to with Lotus-Script or C by inserting a double backslash,

Well right now you have another satisfied e-smith user, starting to learn
Linux.
