No loose connection. Hmm is there any command I can type in to DreamPi to get a log of what's happening?

When you are logged in, run:

sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog

Then try connecting, it'll show scrolling output. hit CTRL+C to cancel. Send a picture when it disconnects and I'll try to figure it out..

Oh well, I got the pi up and running but... It was too good to be this easy ;)
It seems the modem will not answer the call. Maybe it's not installed properly.

Yep... any ideas?
This is the log:

I connected and disconnected the modem to see if it recognized it properly. The modem is USB HSF Modem , Conexant systems.
Nice try you fool! lol BBQ!

I'm hoping I do not run into any of these snags when I set mine up in a few days

@neoblast it's possible that that particular model doesn't have drivers built into the Linux kernel. Could you try running the following command?

sudo wvdialconf /dev/null

And let me know what the output says?

I had to make and compile them because they are not included in the kernel, yep ( That's how I got it for my dc-pc). So how do we make it work in this case?

The output is the following one:
No modem was detected.


Perhaps Adding it with set serial would work?

I just had a quick search and it's not looking promising. Apparently the modem you have is a softmodem which although has Linux drivers, doesn't have ones for ARM, only x86.

Buying another modem might be the only option :(

I know my modem is a Conexant USB DGC modem. Do you know off hand if i'll have any issues? Still waiting for the capacitors/resistors and the 9v battery clips

I just went ahead and bought this:

It seems to have the same chipset you guys are using, conexant, and not softmodem. It'll be at home tomorrow. I hope this one works...
