Text of the page (random words):
getting a modem working under redhat 6 2 getting a modem working under redhat linux this page was written for redhat 6 2 and 7 0 but may still apply redhat linux isn t generally oriented toward home machines and doesn t install modems easily like the more home oriented distributions e g suse nor do they offer a shred of help on their support site for modem configuration on the other hand redhat seems to offer better support for graphics cards monitors and scsi controllers than suse does if you want to use redhat and need to use a modem for ppp here s how i got mine working first if you have a winmodem you may be out of luck support for winmodems needs to come from the manufacturer and most manufacturers don t support linux yet if you re not sure whether your modem is supported or you want to know what modem to buy for a linux machine or for more details on the state of winmodem support under linux check the excellent linux and modems page these instructions assume that you have an isa modem which is not a winmodem most pci modems are winmodems if you have one which is not please add to this page and share your knowledge if you re lucky enough to have an old modem with jumpered settings for irq you can skip the next step if you have a pnp modem as root pnpdump etc isapnp conf repeat vi etc isapnp conf now pick one of the settings to uncomment and also uncomment the act y line at the end isapnp etc isapnp conf until isapnp reports success now you ll have to change the permissions on the modem lines for some reason redhat makes these only available to root chmod 666 dev ttys you ll also have to change the permissions on the ppp daemon to make it setuid in order to run ppp as non root chmod s usr sbin pppd now as yourself you need to set up a ppp account i strongly recommend kppp redhat s new tool rp3 and rp3 config the tool you get if you do internet dialup configuration tool except that rp3 only works as root yet you re not supposed to be running x as root go figure probably also work but i found them harder to use and they don t give you the option to test the modem and see if it s working so use kppp and get the modem working then if you prefer to use rp3 to run ppp go ahead kppp and set up the following tabs device tab select appropriate dev tty entry depending on which entry you uncommented in isapnp conf modem tab click on query modem if you see can t create lock file then you need to do as root chmod 777 var lock if you see sorry the modem is busy try this setserial dev ttys1 autoconfig or s0 if that s where your modem is i find i have to run setserial every time i boot the machine so i edited one of the scripts under etc init d and added the command there linux links page shallow sky home akkana
