LUCENT - WINMODEM EN LINUX (sin traducir)

GENERALIDADES

Este modem es un winmodem, pero aparentemente es posible usarlo satisfactoriamente en linux, aquí están las instrucciones sacadas del Linux HowTo:

INSTALACION (linux-modem-howto)

5.2 Lucent LT

Overview

This modem enjoys the most support under Linux, in that there exist three different driver packages:

  • There exists a manufacturer-unsupported, half-binary/half-open-sourced kernel module, originally designed for Red Hat 6.2's 2.2.14-5 kernel, but substantially reworked by Mark Spieth and others to function with 2.2.x and 2.4.x kernels. This is driver version 5.78(c,d,e,...), and is the driver you are most likely to have success using.
  • There exists a manufacturer-unsupported, binary-only kernel module, compiled under Red Hat 6.0's 2.2.12-20 kernel. This is driver version 5.68.
  • Some open source tools for use with Lucent modems are available at http://www.close.u-net.com/ltmodem.html. Pavel Machek writes that "It is not too useful, however: it is a hardware driver, and without a v.34 protocol stack, you can't connect to your ISP. It is enough to turn your Lucent winmodem into an answering machine, however."
It should be noted that the binary-only driver module (from "linux568.zip") contains code from the GPL'ed Linux serial.c driver, so, since the source code for the modem driver is not available, trafficking in this driver is apparently in violation of the GPL. Distributing the partially open source driver ("i56lvp578.zip") may or may not be technically legal, since the GPL'ed code, though not yet linked with the closed-source code, is certainly intended to be so. See this Kernel Traffic issue and a Linux-Kernel mailing list archive for the week including Dec. 3rd, 2000, for more details.

Driver v5.78(c,d,e,...) - Installation

You should obtain the most recent package for your kernel from http://walbran.org/sean/linux/stodolsk/ and follow the up-to-date instructions given there.

Manufacturer's driver version 5.68 - Installation

This driver is superseded by version 5.78, described above; however, it may still be of some use in special cases.

  1. Obtain the package for your kernel:
    1. 2.2.12 to 2.2.15 http://linmodems.org/linux568.zip
    2. 2.2.15 and above : same URL, but "tty.h" patch is required; see "Tips and Tricks...", above.
  2. unzip linux568.zip
  3. su (enter root password when prompted)
  4. ./ltinst (a 'file not found' error will be issued due to a flaw in the installation script; ignore this error.)
Your modem should now be accessible as the device /dev/modem or /dev/ttyS14.

Open Source Tools - Installation

See the documentation with the source for instructions.
