Ok.
Do download the drivers i mentioned and try them out.
I already gave the install instructions before.

Normally com1 in windows is ttys0 in linux...com2 in winows is ttys1 and com3 in windows is ttys2 in linux/

Also with your existing modem setup, you could first try changing the modem device...like /dev/ttys02 or any other combination.

i use all there cmade to run the file but i did not see any thing that

rpm -i hsfmodem-6.03.00lnxt03091200free-1.i386.rpm
rpm -i hsfmodem-{v.90}.{arch}.rpm
rpm -i hsfmodem-{v.92}.{arch}.rpm
rpm -i hsfmodem-6.03.00lnxt03091200free-1.i386.rpm.zip

which would be working then i give try to
hsfconfig but when i do this it say
could not run the spacifed cmand.. :(


i try to open /dev/ttySHSF0 it say dose not exist..
then i try /dev/modem and aslo try to find with the modem version insted of modem but the same dose not exist..

then i give a last change and click on the zip file is open then
i click on the rpm file it start installaiong then
i fell happy and think me be it works.. now
i go 4 the hsfconfig but same not the reocognize camnd and
/dev/ttySHSF0 dose not exist ..
same with the /dev/modem also try with modem version like /dev/v.90 and /dev/v.92 but found noting to dooo

AND also tell me where should i plce the drviers beforgive the cmand as i put it on the desktop ... and i type the cmandes in ren .. is i type the cmanded on the right Place...

as we found the driver 4 intel v.90 up to linux Red Had 7.2 and 7.3
did u sugest that i should instal Red Hat 7.3 and give a try to Intel Modem ..

as whlie i am trying to configer i had made some chages and
on boot system stope to activewat ppp0 and take too much time and stops there not go further and i instal linux again.

now what to do...

psl tell me which and how many modems do u have

i dont recomend that u install rh 7.3 just that u want modem to work in there...
1 thing keep in mind that untill u sucessfuly install the rpm u cant run the command hsfconfig ...and when u successfuly run hsfconfig command then it will activate /dev/ttyHSF0 or /dev/modem...

/dev/modem is the logiacal link to actuall model port setting

use the command

ln /dev/ttyHSF0 /dev/modem

so that u can set ur modem port from list box using kppp

also first query modem after changing the port settting

keep in mind that

/dev/ttyso ,s1,s2,s3 are equallent to commport 1 ,2,3,4 respectivelt...

and u can only(mostly) access ur modem through these ports if ur modem is external (bcz u map commport 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 to any of the serial physical port in bios)
or if ur modem is ISA with jumpers for commport setting ...(keep in mind that if u use isa jumpered modem set the jumper to the port which is not already mapped to serial q or b or mother board.....usually mouse ad\nd external modem r attached to serail phyiscal port( mostly 9 pin and rarely 25 pin serial port))

Only the sixth image portrays some info.
The rest are useless and donot give any information.

First of all, arpanet, you should have installed the hsf rpm using rpm -Uvh rpmname.rpm command in terminal.

Do a rpm -q hsfmodem and see if the rpm is installed.In any case do install it again using rpm -Uvh hsfmodem* after changing to appropriate directory.

If nothing works, then arpanet do is:

1.Take the modem out of your system
2.Insert the Intel V90 modem in the system's slot, check if the bios has correct com port settings.First check it with windows.If it works with windows, then it means your bios comm settings are correct)

3.Uninstall linux 9 and Install RedHat Linux 7.1 (uninstall the current version you have, by deleting the partition and swap in disk druid , and creating new ones)

4.Install the display driver in rh 7.1 as u already did.
5.Install the intel v90 modem driver which is compatible with redhat linux 7.1

(Note: Install redhat linux 7.1 and not 7.2/7.3 because the intel v90 modem driver is compatible with kernel 2.2.12 to 2.2.18 and redhat 7.1 has kernel 2.2.16 which is compatible with intel v90 modem, where as 7.2/7.3's kernel is not compatible with intel v90 modem)

6.Check if all works well.

If u accompilsh the above succesfully, then well done.You will have ur linux box up and running the net.

Later on you could try recompiling the linux kernel to the latest version 2.4.22 and see if it works on it or not.Even if u recompile your kernel, you will still have the old working one.So it would just be a test, and even if the new kernel does not work with the modem, you could still use the old working one.
