Headless PC-DC Linux Server

[Favrenation]

Honestly this is the biggest year for the PC-DC server. So much innovation. There is way to get it done in a virtual machine which solidifies the longevity of this working and now there is a server where you don't even need to do anything except dial in. This is just amazing.

I'm trying this tutorial but it seems my modem wasn't installed properly Im on UBuntu 10.10 and I'm at the event.d part, there is no such file so I guess it's not installed properly. My modem is Conceptronic 56k USB voice fax modem ( conexant chip, C56U model number ) the drivers for windows are 7.04.00.00 ( older than the ones that are in the tutorial ).

I Installed the ones mentioned but still the modem would appear as an unclassified device on hwinfo.

Any ideas? I've tried detecting the modem with gnome-ppp with no results it doesn't detect the modem.

Any ideas?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks


EDIT: /etc/event.d no longer used

The version of upstart included in Ubuntu 9.10 no longer uses the configuration files in the /etc/event.d directory, looking to /etc/init instead. No automatic migration of changes to /etc/event.d is possible. If you have modified any settings in this directory, you will need to reapply them to /etc/init in the new configuration format by hand. (402759)

I guess I'll have to look there then, I'll continue the tutorial and I'll let you know If I can make it then.

EDIT 2: Nothing, it seems the device can't be opened ( so it's not installed... )

How can I install it then? This modem is voice capable so it should work.

Your using Ubuntu 10.10, do this:

Download this:

http://linux.dell.com/files/ubuntu/luci ... ll_A00.iso

Mount it.

And run it and there should be instructions of some sort on how to install your driver, it will also include the files.

U also need the alsa drivers to hear the audio through your sound card if you modem doesn't have a speaker built in. http://www.linuxant.com/alsa-driver/#pre-compiled

Thank you but I installed win98 and I'll see if I can get that one working.
I'll report soon

EDIT: Working but I have dns issues...

I fixed a major typo.

Sorry about that,

I'm trying to get this to work in a terminal right now using the command,

Code: Select all

sudo mgetty -D /dev/ttyS1 -m '"" AT&S0=1'

It doesn't time out like it was doing before. It appears the modem is sending the auto-answer command, but it still isn't connecting. I'm gonna try messing around with some more settings.

I made major changes.

I changed it to a better way that works 100% of the time for everyone.

I also added instructions for dial-tone generation.
