Guest kiki Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Receiving "unable to create modem lock file" when trying to connect with kppp. I have installed martian drivers for an Agere winmodem. Permissions for /usr/sbin/pppd are set to -rwsr-xr-t. Device name is /dev/ttySM0. In kppp config, ttySM0 is not listed, so linked it to /dev/modem. With the martian drivers, modem connected fine in Suse, but cannot make it work in Mandriva. Anyone have any advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Edwards Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Unless this is a machine where several users log on at the same time, it's probably safe to dispense with the modem locking altogether. It's been a while since I used dialup, but I seem to remember there is a 'nolock' option you can specify somewhere in kppp - it might be worth giving this a try.
