i dont exactly remmeber, but i think it was mentioned that that cannot be done... or something like that....
with that said:
ls /dev/tts/
if that comes up with something (should be just a '0') then:
vim /etc/conf.d/net.ppp0
and change the corresponding settings (device would be /dev/tts/0)...
if that folder was empty, or didnt exist, then try setting the device to /dev/ttyS0
then run:
/etc/init.d/net.ppp0 start
it should work, but like i said, i dont know if the kernel on the minimal cd has support for modems...
killfre

those modems if I'm not wrong are softmodem as my Diamond Supra 56k modem, and only work with a propertary driver, till the 0.99 version where avaliable for free (only work on 2.4 kernels ), and you can find them in portage (the Conexant HSF and the HCF drivers, those are the chipsets this modems use, mine specifically it's HCF), or you can buy it now in www.linuxant.com
but, I don't remember if liveCD has the kernel sources installed in /usr/src/linux and you need that to compile and install those drivers |
