I'm new to ubuntu. I'm trying to get my US Robotics external serial modem working so I can use Ubuntu.
I copied
wvdial & dependencies:
libuniconf4.6
libwvstreams4.6-extras
libwvstreams4.6-base
to a flash drive.
How do I get them to /var/cache/apt/archives? I tried to copy and drag&drop wont work.
Is it better to use a Usb to Serial Adapter Cable or a PCI Serial Port Card when attaching a serial port modem to a computer that doesn't provide onboard serial ports?I am leaning toward the USB to Serial Cable but do they work as well as a Serial Port Card? I have a US Robotics business class external serial modem that that I'd like to keep using for dialup internet connections.Here are the devices I am thinking of using:
USB To Serial Cable: KINAMAX CB-RS232 (Prolific Chipset)
PCI Adapter Card: SYBA SD-PCI 15024 --single port chipset=SB16C1052PC1
If i want to use an external usb modem by which i can surf through the net, is this possible in fedora. Because the software is always an .exe file which is only compatible with wndows. let me know if i can use and also let me know the procedure for using this

1) Compaq laptop, legacy free (no COM or LPT ports, USB only)
2) The laptop owner has dial-up and can't get broadband right now.
3) The laptop is running F12 with the PAE kernel.
4) Internal modem is a Conexant modem masquerading as Intel ICHxxx chipset. All attempts at getting a driver to work for this so far have failed.
5) I downloaded a Linuxant RPM but this failed to work.
So my only option that will get the computer back to its owner is an external modem using a Prolific PL2303 USB to SERIAL adaptor cable. When using the PL2303 cable my external modem appears as /dev/ttyUSB0 For the most part this works fine. I used the steps in the solution from the following thread
[URL]
The only problem I have is getting PPP to work THROUGH the cable. I have verified the cable is the issue. HOW?
1) I have tested all the modems on another machine with F12 through the onboard COM port. All modems dial, connect, then authenticate and maintain connection until I manually disconnect.
2) I have tested all modems used on the other machine with the PL2303 and can replicate the problem on that machine.
3) I have used more than one PL2303 cable and get the same behaviour.
Using the network configuration utility / wvdial / modem lights OR kppp produces the same results when controlling the modem located at /dev/ttyUSB0 So do I
1) have to make some configuration changes to relating to /dev/ttyUSB0
OR
2) is the something in ppp that needs configuring
OR
3) is it something else altogether that I am not aware of?

i have the following challenge: i have a Bluetooth GPS device that i have connected to my linux notebook. but now i also want to use the same device (or better, GPS data stream) for my Navigation device (HP Ipaq with TomTom). make an serial port bluetooth service (sending) that my Navigation device can connect to. copy the incoming bluetooth serial port data stream to the outgoing bluetooth serial port.
i have already installed GPSD so i have the TCP port where the GPS data is available for everything on my notebook. but now i also want it to send it out through bluetooth.

2. how to make an bluetooth serial port service on Fedora 12?

There has been a lot of effort invested in getting external USB connected anything to work well during the connect then disconnect processing. It seems that there are troubles with OEM serial digitizers like those built-in for a tablet-PC. The built-in OEM devices do not have the same sort of connection events to trigger device creation and configuration.
Does anyone know how to make all of the find-hardware then create configuration processing visible? While I find several postings that describe "... edit xorg.conf ..." but then those edits don't want to work with the recent evolution in Xorg and X11-server configuration that deprecates (abandons?) xorg.conf. Does anyone understand what is going on with Xorg and X11-config to help me get my tablet working? Has anyone used an external USB tablet, then adapted those configuration details to get an OEM tablet working? I know that every tablet is different, but if the external device connect-creates-config process works best, it seems there might be value here.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm planning to install Ubuntu on a new PC and use an external dial-up modem for internet connection. The modem I plan to use is the US Robotics USR5637 56K USB Faxmodem, which USR claims is compatible w/Linux kernel 2.4.20:
[code]...
In the modem's Installation Guide, it says: "You need a USB modem driver (CDC ACM) compiled into a Linux kernel 2.4.20 or higher or as a loadable module for your kernel. Installation of the modem under these kernels is fully automatic provided your kernel has the Plug and Play module enabled (default)." So...uh...does Ubuntu meet these specs? Are some version #s of Ubuntu, or its variants, different with regard to these specs? I have the CD of Ubuntu 9.10 Desktop Edition--is this one OK? Should I try a later or earlier version? I'm really looking for a version that will be the least hassle to set up and use; I'll probably have to use Wine, so I can use MS Word 2000. Is there a Ubuntu version best for this too?

I've read and bookmarked various info on configuring modem, including PPP and wvdial info. But one question: Is there a particular version # of Ubuntu best for external dial-up modem use? I have the CD for 9.10 Desktop edition. It seems that different Ubuntu versions include some things, others not. Another Q: Reading this page about wvdial, it refers only to serial modems. Does the info apply to USB modems, like the USRobotics 5637? [URL]

On my CentOS 5.2 install I've installed a dual-port serial card based on the NetMOS 9835 chipset. I've followed the serial instructions, but everything they tell me to do is already done - see setserial outputs below. I've compared these values to the lspci output (below, NetMos card is at the bottom of the output) for the card and it appears right. Problem being, I can't use the serial ports. Oh and I did use search, and looked at every 9835-related article before posting this :)

I am hoping to be able to get an old serial-touchscreen to work with a usb/serial adapter. I had this touchscreen working some years ago on different hardware. I would like to hook it to the machine I am setting up as a multimedia host with mythtv among other things.
Following the instructions I left behind when I got this to work way back when does not work. See [URL] ....
This info is a work around to get the xserver to see the touchscreen. [URL] ....
I do know that the touchscreen works as I am able to get garbage on the screen as in the first part of my howto. But I have not had any success getting xorg to see it. I wish I had posted a copy of the xorg.conf at the time, but......
There is an issue with the current xserver in testing that I am hoping the next update (in unstable) will fix when it gets pushed to testing. That is that Code: Select all# X -configure fails with a segfault. So I am not able to generate the xorg.conf needed to get it to work. I was going to post a bugreport, that is when I found out there is an update in unstable, so I am waiting for it to get pushed at the moment.
Anyway I am hoping that I can link /dev/ttyUSB0 to /dev/tty0 and get it to work. I would like some kind of guess as to my chances of success before I go to all the work of getting the monitor hooked to the host.
I have a bit of a dilemma. I'm attempting to use a microcontroller to send MIDI messages over a virtual serial port. I want to (eventually) read them with Mixxx. I'm using an FTDI chip, so I get a /dev/ttyUSB0. I've tried spikenzielabs' Serial-Midi program, but it doesn't see any serial ports. NOTEMIDI looks really old and won't compile on my 10.04 LTS machine.
