[ltp] Conexant modem: NO CARRIER

Mon, 17 Oct 2005 17:31:05 +0200

Hi all,

I have an IBM Thinkpad R51 with Mandriva LE2005. The modem is identified  
as an Intel one, but it seems to have a Conexant chipset, so I installed  
the hsfmodem rpm package from the club repository. The module loads fine  
and the system seems to be using the hsfmc97ich driver.

At first sight, the modem seems to be working, if I set kppp to dial my  
cell phone, it does so an my phone rings. But when I set it to dial my ISP  
number, I only hear a constant "screech" (after the dialing tones, of  
course) and, after a time out, I get a "NO CARRIER" response. The same  
settings (phone number, username...) work fine in windows.

So, verything seems to be working, except the last step: the modem is not  
replying to the ISP. What am I missing? Anyone having a similar experience  
(and solving it)?

Thanks
