Zoom modem & commands

fredobrien · 08-17-2007, 09:02 AM

Hi. I have a USB zoom modem. No luck at getting it to work. After 2 or 3 days I now know the problem is commands do not work. What ever I type in is denied or not found or no bash, nothing I put in is working. So if I can not put a command in then the modem will not work. I'm user so what is going on? Fred Thanks.

add sudo before your commands, or sudo su - & try again.

Hi, Dan -
fred's running PCLOS. I'm not familiar with the commands for that.
he bought a new Zoom 3095, and I'd sure like to see him make it work!

fredobrien · 08-17-2007, 12:40 PM

Hi Dan, sudo, sudo su, did not work. Bartender I think the modem will work, but it has to be installed. That is my problem with commands not working. This problem is with two installs of PCLOS on two computers. Commands do not work on ether one.

What commands are you trying to do, and as user or as root?

Oh profile has Ubuntu :x
I would love to see dial up working on Linux

fredobrien · 08-17-2007, 03:31 PM

I need to put in (rpm -i dgccmodem.i386.rpm) & Iget error failed 0r command not found.

fredobrien · 08-17-2007, 05:06 PM

[root@localhost fred]# rpm -i dgcconfig.i386.rpm
error: open of dgcconfig.i386.rpm failed: No such file or directory
I think that if I can get this command to work that modem will install. So what is going on. It's like I'm not the user. Thanks for all of the help!!! Fred

I'll try to expand on this in case Evil Dan or someone else can help. fred's new Zoom modem comes with a CD. On the CD there are three Linux config files, .deb, .rpm, and .tar. Zoom says they'll work.
Since fred is running PCLOS, an .rpm based distro, should he copy the .rpm file to his desktop or home folder, then try to run a command across it?
I'm terrible with command line, and hoping that all we have to do is get the right command entered so that the modem will install.

If anyone's interested, here's the Zoom support page where you can download the .pdf.
http://www.zoom.com/techsupport/dial_up/3095F.shtml
Select "English" under the second download. The Linux instructions start on pg. 17.
It's not a very big download. I did it via dial-up in a few minutes.

fredobrien · 08-18-2007, 07:25 AM

I think that the rpm -i dgcconfig.i386.rpm is now loaded & dgcconfig says (conexant DGC USB modem driver, version 1.01 is there. It says existing driver modules found under: /lib/modules/2.6.18.8tex5/. Then next line down it says (warning: DGC driver not active) where do I go from here? How do I activate the driver? THANKS Fred.

~~PureEvilDan~~ · 08-18-2007, 11:48 AM

try this:

Code:

rpm -ivh --replacepkgs dgcconfig.i386.rpm

If it still errors change -i to -e and change --replacepkgs to --nodeps.

Then try this:

Code:

dgcconfig

[root@localhost fred]# rpm -evh --nodeps dgcconfig.i386.rpm

I need to get the (driver not active) fixed & in hardware there is (module unknown). It says existing driver module found under /lib/modules/2.6.18.8texs/. Thanks for the help. Fred

Only works if you have the RPM file in the same folder, you can use /path/to/file.

**Bartender** · 08-19-2007, 04:36 PM

How big are the packages on the Zoom CD? If they're not very big maybe you could attach each one to a post on the forum.
Although I'm not good with command line, I could try to get the .deb file to install on my Ubuntu PC. Maybe Evil Dan or Kyle or someone else could do his thing with the .rpm file?

fredobrien · 08-21-2007, 10:43 AM

I have checked over & over. The modem is in hardware & the drivers are there. I can not get any thing out of the modem when I try to connect no lights or sound. I e-mailed zoom. I wonder if the modem is bad. Bartender I do not know how to do package thing. Will see what zoom comes up with. Fred

~~PureEvilDan~~ · 08-22-2007, 05:19 AM

If I remember rightly, it comes packed as .gz .deb & .rpm yeah?

Try this:

Code:

tar -xvf <file.tar.gz> 
cd folder/
./configure --prefix=/usr
make 
make test (this may error, eg No rule for make test... thats fine, others maybe a problem.)
make install

Installing the Modem on a Linux PC

1 Plug the modem into any USB port on your computer.

2 Connect one end of the supplied telephone cable to the phone jack on the modem, and the other end of the cable to a wall telephone jack.

3 Insert the modem CD into your CD-ROM drive, double-click the CD icon, and open the Llnux folder.
You will see three folders containing linux drivers: rpm, debian, and tar.

4 Select the appropriate folder for your version of linux, and copy the folder to your computer.

5 From the command prompt, access the folder containing the driver.
To install the driver in .rpm or . deb format:

a Type su (for .rpm) or sudo (for debian) and press Enter.

b At the prompt, enter your super user password.

c Next, for .rpm, enter
rpm -i dgcmodem.i386.rpm
For .deb, enter
dpkg -i dgcmodem_i386.deb

d At the prompt, enter the Linux source build directory that matches your running kernel.

e If necessary, run dgcconfig to complete the installation.

To install the driver in . tar format:
a Extract the driver with
tar -xzf dgcmodem-1.01.tar.gz

b Change to the driver directory with
cd dgcmodem-1.01

cEnter
su make install
or
sudo make install

d At the prompt, enter your super user password.

e Next, enter
dgcconfig

f At the prompt, enter the Linux source build directory that matches your running kernel, and wait while the driver is installed.

6 Configure your PPP client program to use the USB modem.

That's it! Your installation is complete.

If You Need Help
If your modem is not working, first try turning off your computer
and restarting it. .
If you need further help, please consult the full-length User Guide in your local language located on your CD.

My ACER onboard modem will not work with UBUNTU. (ACER says that they do not plan to support LINUX). I bought a Zoom modem from Amazon.com as it was advertised to work with UBUNTU. Nope. Does not.
The choices as listed last entry are debian, rpm and ?. I tried all manner of configuration to no avail. Zoom web site does not even list my zoom usb model number 3085. They do show a model 3095. In any event, I tried calling the tech line. After 5 days I am still waiting for a return call!. I was also finally able to e-mail the tech center. Am still awaiting an answer.

A $60.00 lesson I suppose.

fredobrien · 08-28-2007, 07:24 AM

Hi Bob I have had the same luck with Zoom. No reply, nothing! Do not give up. I just found a computer guy who is into Ubuntu. He is selling linux computer & helping people to change over to linux. He dislikes windows and Bill sucking money out of us all the time. He is going to work with me & see if we can get the modem up & running. Will let you know what happens. Will try to keep a step by step if we get it going. Fred
