Title: Support for USB modems
Post by: spkelly on December 17, 2004, 03:10:33 AM

...would be a very good thing. That way those of us in Australia who have ISDN and Telstra's NT1 Plus II can just plug the beasty in and off we go.

Maybe with the move to Lycoris and the CentOS based distro this will come out in the wash.

Someone in Australia will need to develop support for Telstra's modems. Nobody else is likely to care enough to do it, and nobody else will be able to test it in any case.

If it matters to you and you don't have the skills to do it yourself, offer $$ to someone who does. Only proviso is that the code must be offered back to the community.

I'm using an USB mode, there in France. I did some modification in SME (ie including usb in kernel). And used the driver developped for all linux distributions.

You have to do a simialr thing for your modem.

But remember, using a usb modem with a server is a bad idea.

PS : my howto is in french ;-)
