Post by: Ricky on March 09, 2004, 02:46:14 PM: First of Please post your query in right forum!!

Now your solution!!
you have to use wvdial system in linux.. I am assuming that your Reliance mobile phone is detected as "Samsung CDMA technology by Kudzu"
So your next step is to configure wvdial..
Now creat a file in /etc named wvdial.conf with the following contents !!
Code: [Select]
[Modem0] Modem=/dev/input/ttyS0 Baud=115200 SetVolume=0 Dial Command = ATDT init1=ATZ FlowControl= Hardware (CRTSCTS) [Dialer reliance] Username= Ph No. Password= Ph No. Phone=#777 Stupid Mode= 1 Inherits = Modem0
Here in above code change /dev/input/ttyS0 to your computer's com port if you are using serial cable other if you are using USB then replace that with ttyACM2 or ttyACMx here x= you USB port.

Now to dial use..
Code: [Select]
wvdial relianceand you should be up.. if it don't work see whether you are using right ports..
:)
Title: Relaince as modem did NOT work!!
Post by: its_deja_vu on May 07, 2004, 10:40:34 AM: I tried the method recommended at this url:

pcquest.com/content/search/showarticle.asp?artid=50099

for using reliance as a modem under linux.I am using PCQlinux that is based on RedHAt 7.1 . But after editing the wvdial.conf file,when I execute the command :

$ wvdial cdma

It gives me the following error:

--->wvdial :Internet dialer version 1.41
--->Cannot open /dev/input/ttyACM0 : Device or resource busy.

I have a samsung handset and I have connected it via USB port.Can you please let me know the solution to the same as my internal Motorola modem (connected on COM4) is also not detected by the linux.

Post by: Ricky on May 07, 2004, 12:02:17 PM: It is simply problem that you have not selected right port.. try playing a bit.. ie.. change ACM0 to somehitng else..
also try /dev/usb/ttyACM0 to 3 or 4..

Tell me that was ur samsung phone was detected by kudzu ie.. during boot ? Hey.. that url is mentioning same method..

Also ask "barnamos" b'coz he has done something that working practically..

Post by: its_deja_vu on May 09, 2004, 06:26:25 AM: Thanks for the help but unfortunately it did not work....I tried all the ports....And yes..kudzu does detects the modem...I tried removing the configuration and repeated the process from the scratch..but did not work...

Moreover,can you tell me how come my Linux is not detecting the Motorola intenal 56K Modem.it is on COM4.Earlier when I had my modem on COM3 it was detected by linux but not be windows.Then I shifted it to COM4 and the roles reversed :!: .I have read that winmodems do not work in Linux..is it so?

Post by: Ricky on May 09, 2004, 08:19:51 AM: Internal modem needs lots of software work to function as compared to external modem where physical hardware take care of that..
Now most fo the companies don't disclose info.. which are need to write a device driver and moreover they also donot provide enough resources so that is y few internal modems don't work in Linux.. It has been reported by "neo" that motorola has stopped linux driver for motoralo interal modem..

BTw. can u give me output of "cat /proc/pci" ?

Title: Tata Indicom - LG LSP 340E
Post by: Vic on July 30, 2004, 11:35:04 AM: Would appreciate knowing if the same information will work for connecting a fixed line wireless phone through Tata Indicom - and where can one get an RJ45 to USB connector in Mumbai?
Title: how to install reliance cdma phone as modem for internet
Post by: Ricky on July 30, 2004, 01:19:27 PM: RJ45 to USB !!! rather you buy serial to USB connector.. and yes it applies to tata indicom also but you can also try Reliance rconnect software first..
both uses CDMA 1x technology and almsot same product.. ;)
Title: RJ45, serial, USB
Post by: Vic on July 30, 2004, 02:41:17 PM: The cable suplied by Tata Indicom is RJ45 (phone end) to serial (computer end, 9 pin), but that is not useful to me since my serial connector is used already.

I think you are right, I should get a serial male to USB connector, but at least a RJ45 to USB would be hardwired with less possibility of loose connections.

I have not understood your comment about using the RConnect code? That seems to be the solution suggested in this discussion, or are there any other choices available?
Title: how to install reliance cdma phone as modem for internet
Post by: Ricky on July 30, 2004, 03:20:39 PM: The reliance guys provide a software named reconnect, a command line utitility to configure there phones.. so get that and try that..
Title: Tata Indicom
Post by: Blackfinn on August 03, 2004, 04:34:51 AM: Hi All,
I tried connecting to the internet using a Tata Indicom FWP, using the tios mentioned here but couldn't get a connection. When I tried with KPPP it easily detected the modem, but when I tried to dial it said NO CARRIER. When I tried with wvdialconf, it couldn't find the modem. Can you help me here? :(

I am using Suse Linux 8.2 and my Tata Indicom phone is LG LSP-340e

Thank you!

Post by: Ricky on August 03, 2004, 06:08:36 AM: As I am again saying... Goto to reliance website, download the reliance rconnect software for linux and try that!!
Title: how to install reliance cdma phone as modem for internet
Post by: Blackfinn on August 03, 2004, 09:53:00 AM: Hi Ricky,
Tried that too.. But it says no modem found.. I am able to browse without any issues on Windows. And KPPP also has no issues with finding the modem.

Post by: Ricky on August 17, 2004, 01:53:37 PM: have you activated the modem yet on fwp ? ie.. by doing following ..
To activate FWT LG LST250 for data connectivity dial '##7#0*'.

I think that is the problem !!

Title: how to install reliance cdma phone as modem for internet
Post by: Manstein on June 02, 2005, 06:41:26 AM: Hi, im an absolutely new Knoppix user.
I have a reliance GTRAN CDMA PCMCIA card. On boot up, knoppix detects my card. I tried to connect to the internet with KPPP. the connection IS established. However, it is VERY slow, and is of no use whatsoever.
I have tried all the different settings in KPPP( I may have missed a few settings). Is the slow connection a result of the absence of special drivers for the CDMA modem?Can it be solved by changing some settings.
Thank you! in advance
Title: how to install reliance cdma phone as modem for internet
Post by: Ricky on June 04, 2005, 07:45:09 AM: Well..

What I suggest you is to check that if the connection is not conjusted .. u know reliance has got many customer and their internet is now slower than before.
