I plug it into my       Lubuntu set up and it works beautifully, giving me a /dev/serial/ directory       and a modem lit up and ready for serial action!              As this is a cdcacm modem, I believe it uses some modeswitch byte sequence to       initiate it, which is usually kept in a device reference file. However I have       been informed that this modem is supported at a kernel level and its reference       is therefore missing from the device reference file which other cdcacm modems       require (I think these are typically 3g cell network modems - mine is a       landline device).              When I open dev/serial// there are two files in there which are both symbolic       links. I don't really know what that means, not being very au fait with Linux.       I've tried to copy those files to external media without success. I've also       tried to open the files (required sudo) to see if they contain any sort of       sequence of bytes which the modem is using it initiate itself.              Why am I bothered about this if it's working? I want to try and get it working       under MorphOS (an Amiga-like OS for PPC hardware) and think this byte sequence       holds the key. Then again, it might not.              Apologies for the ramble. Hoping some of this might make sense to someone who       can point me in the right direction. It doesn't make much sense to me!       --- SBBSecho 3.08-Linux        * Origin: Vertrauen - [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.net (1:103/705)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/2 103/705 154/10 203/0 218/700 221/0 226/17 227/114       SEEN-BY: 229/275 354 426 452 616 1014 240/5832 249/206 317 400 280/464       SEEN-BY: 280/5003 292/854 310/31 317/3 322/757 342/200 396/45 423/120       SEEN-BY: 633/280 712/848 770/1 2452/250 3828/7 5020/545       PATH: 103/705 280/464 229/426           |
