Right, being a omplete linux n00b have now got it running (YAY!!) but i was given this link http://dsl-linux.tripod.com/index/ to get the drivers for my Fujitsu FDX310 ADSL Modem, i have downloaded the tar file but thats all i can manage, how do i do those inructions on that page?

Can someone please explain this a bit better so that even me, a lowly linux n00b can understand it and carrie it out.

thanx in advance

Sorry for my n00bie qestions but.... how do i get to a shell?, all i know is that im running Redhat 8 using gnome, the driver is stored on a floppy disk, i dont even know how to access the hard drive from redhat

It is fairly easy to set up these drivers, as said tar zxvf them, and go into the directory, do the



Then cd to /usr/local/bin which is where it is installed to.

Instead of manually editing the adsl + chap-secrets files just use the



command, to set up the config files, though it is also a good idea to double check the files are correct (/etc/ppp/peers/adsl + /etc/ppp/chap-secrets)

After this run /usr/local/bin/eci-doctor.sh (which what it is for me not the ./eci-doctor in the manual)

Which will log you onto the internet :)

In future you need to use the /usr/local/bin/startmodem command to log on, though sometimes I need to do this twice, once for the modem to sync up, a second time for it to log on.

Make install

it gives a permission denied message, is this because im logged in as me and not root?

Well... it nearly worked, it sees the modem now (i changed the port it was in) and i can run that eci-doctor.sh but i get the following

any ideas?
 
after checking that site and translating the frech forums to english it seems a lot of people are having trouble getting it working in Redhat 8, are there any other versions of linux i could try that are easy to set up and have the excellent boot loader screen redhat has (i found that VERY easy to set up to dual with Windows XP)
 
ive looked at a few other linux distros but i like the look of redhat more :D i have an ethernet adsl modem but its the 2nd cack one ive received (cant ping it) so it going back (again) 3rd time luck hopefully, then i wont have to worry about the modem drivers. As for gentoo, where do i store the tarballs if i download them from windows? if i put them on cd how to i copy them to the hdd from the gentoo command line thing?
 
The prob with the ADSL modem im sending back is that although i have my IP and Subnet set correct and I have checked the modem settings are correct though using the CLI and setting them to the same subnet and same ip group (192.168.0.1 modem and 192.168.0.2 PC) i cant ping it, the first one i got didnt even sync with the PC and this one i cant ping, hope the 3rd one is better, BTW its a SAR-703.
