Title: USB ISDN Modem
Post by: Phil on August 10, 2003, 03:23:29 AM

Hello,
I am trying to set up a sme server version 6, and would like to use a USB ISDN adaptor,  I searched the internet and found that under redhat 8 and upwards it will work, so I installed redhat 9 to try and it worked. From that I assumed it would work on SME 6, using the below system mods, but it  does not, please help !!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Setting up an ISDN Telstra NT1 Plus II modem under Linux
It took me ages to figure out, but turned out to be very simple under RedHat:

   1. Get your USB going (or you can use the serial cable, but you won't be able to run 128k). For RedHat 8.0, I didn't have to do anything.
   2. Use the "Internet Configuration Wizard" under the "System Tools" menu in Gnome
   3. Choose "Modem Connection" from the list
   4. Put in the 0198 308 888 phone number, and login and password
   5. Create the new connection
   6. Now, go to the "Network Device Control" and click on "Configure..."
   7. Click on the new modem
   8. Click on "Hardware", and edit the config of the modem.
   9. Change the "Modem device" to be "/dev/input/ttyACM0" (or ttyACM1 or whatever works depending on where you've plugged the modem into)
  10. Save, and it should be able to be activated using the "Network Device Control". Will work for 64k PPP by default.


Here are some modem strings that are useful (thanks to Nivan Lau):

    * Connecting 128K PPP: ATZ!Z=9!T0=0!T2=1!T4=0
    * Connecting 128k PPP DVO: ATZ!Z=9!T0=0!T2=1!T4=1

E-smith does not support USB modems:

straight from http://www.e-smith.org/faq.php3#5q17

Sorry, but you'll have to buy a new non usb TA or ISDN Router.

Oh,
That is a shame, can I ask Why? as both redhat 8 and 9 will work with this type of USB modem.

Phil,

See my post here for some further information: http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=18173.msg71278#msg71278

Telstra's NT1 Pluss II have USB as well as Serial ports.
