E-Tech 56K6 PCMCIA modem
Hello, everybody
I have some troubles configuring my PCMCIA modem. Here are all the
characteristics, I got from the seller:
------------------------

-----------------------
I used debian/potato pcmcia package (not the kernel drivers) to
configure PCMCIA. It looks, like everything works - when I insert the
card, I hear double beep, the serial_cs gets loaded and a link
/dev/modem to /dev/ttyS18 created (exactly as it is written in the
docs!).
Problems start when I try to dial a number. I use minicom for this (not
trying to configure PPP, just to dial ANYTHING!). So, the modem replies
to AT commands (at least minicom shows "OK" when I type AT<Enter> in the
term window), but
1. In the status line of the minicom I see "OFFLINE"
2. I cannot dial any number
The problem is also that I do not here any tone (phone-tone, I mean) -
but this seems to be "a feature" - I do not here it under Windows
either, although modem works and dials without any troubles.
I'm completely lost, because I do not know where to look for the answer
- PCMCIA seems to be OK, but modem does not work. Any hints or
suggestions would be greatfully appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Roman
