help me setup a smartlink dialup modem and connect via sancharnet dialup

[prashanthnbhat]

I'm completely new to linux and have installed fedora core 4.

I have a smart link 56k dialup modem from krypton and it is working fine in windows xp. I'm not able to install its drivers in linux.

At first I used the driver provided by the manufacturer (slmdm-2.7.14). I extracted the contents of the TAR archive, entered the extracted dir and typed in make. The terminal reported errors in every line.

Then I downloaded two drivers, a source RPM and another TAR archive.

I don't know how to install using source RPM.

I extracted the new TAR archive, entered the extracted directory and gave the make command. The make command is giving me an error stating, file driver/.amrmo.o.cmd not found for driver/amrmo.o. I'm not able to figure out what the problem is, and its solution.

can anybody help me, please? And also tell me what to do with the source RPM

Try this:

1. Extract the tar archieve.
2. From console, type './configure' (with the dot)
3. make
4. make install

I typed in ./configure
it said no such dir

I did as tech_your_future said. it gave me the following output:
1. slmdm: warning:user qa does not exist using root
warning:group qa does not exist using root
############################ [100%]
warning:user qa does not exist using root
warning:group qa does not exist using root


I believe my modem has not yet been installed.
