[ltp] Softmodem in R51 doesnt work in SuSE 9.1

[Uwe Rößner]

Hi,

I have a problem with a new Thinkpad R51 running under SuSE 9.1 Linux. The 
internal softmodem doesn´t work (I can ´ speak´ with the modem, but it doesn
´t dial). YAST is able to identify the modem and I can configure it (the 
package smartlink-softmodems is installed)

First I tried kinternet, here is the logfile:

SuSE Meta pppd (smpppd-ifcfg), Version 1.16 on lapralf.
Status is: disconnected
trying to connect to smpppd

pppd[0]: --> Disconnecting at Mon Jul 26 19:31:19 2004
pppd[0]: Connect script failed
Status is: disconnected
pppd[0] died: Connect script failed (exit code 8)

If I use kppp, I get the same result.

lspci says:

0000:00:1f.6 Modem: Intel Corp. 82801DB AC'97 Modem Controller (rev 01) 
(prog-if 00 [Generic])
        Subsystem: IBM: Unknown device 055a
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 0, IRQ 11
        I/O ports at 2400
        I/O ports at 2000 [size=128]
        Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2

The modem work in Windows, so I think there is no hardware or kabel-problem.

Has anybody a idea, what is to change or to check?

Many thanks.
