johnh123 Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 I've got a samsung a900 with Sprint that I use as a modem to connect my xp laptop to the internet. Now i've installed mandriva 2007, and can't figure out how to do the same. The phone is recognized as a cdma modem, but I can't see anywhere to create a 'dial-up' connection. Any ideas?

Qchem Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 Try looking at the kppp package - I used to use that back when I was on dial-up. I never used anything other than a "standard" serial modem though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnh123 Posted October 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 Ok. I used kppp. It worked! Once...then when I tried a second and subsequent times, it won't work. Then I had to do a reinstall for other reasons, and sure enough, it worked- once. Now, when I try to dial in, it says this in the terminal window: kppp: ERROR: write() in modem::writeline failed Is there any fix for this?
