Re: japanese AirH"-Modem running
HowTo get it done: Read PCMCIA and MODEM HowTo :-)!
System: minimal installation from
http://people.debian.org/~blade/boot-floppies/cvs/ (Thanks Edi!)
First I set up (only installed) the pcmcia-modules and pcmcia-cs
stuff. Than after reboot the card would recognized (but unidentified)
and I got the Card-information with `cardctl config' and `cardctl
ident'. Now one have to `bind' the card with the `serial_cs'-modul in
`/etc/pcmcia/config'. Next was setting up the link `/dev/modem' to
`/dev/ttyS2' which ist the modem on my computer. With `pppconfig' I
could create the necessary file -> `/etc/ppp/peers/prov' and
`/etc/ppp/pap-secrets' for dailup with login-name (One have to set it
in quotes: 'login@provider.jp' because of punctation and @-sign.)
password and phonenumber (one will get it after sign-up, because it is
no normal phonenumber (called PHS) -> looks like a hen-egg-problem!).
And last but not least `pon prov' and the thing was running. Nearly
out of the box. That was surprising: before I tried with redhat,
minicom and wvdial for more than a week and had no chance. Seems to be
there is only one way? The Debian Way, hm? ;-)
The function is AFAIK the same like an analog (PCMCIA-)modem. It has
nothing to do with wireless stuff, so sorry I can't help in this case.
