Hi Peter<br>Re: Puppylinux modem problems, go to puppy linux forum<br><br>http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/<br><br>and post it there, or pm user rerwin, who is the 3G modem expert, and has written many tools/scripts/patches just for this problem<br><br>Good Luck<br><br>Aitch <br>================================================<br><br>> From: peter@sheppey.free-online.co.uk<br>> To: kent@mailman.lug.org.uk<br>> Date: Mon, 1 Jun 2009 11:04:21 +0100<br>> Subject: [Klug-general] Laptop questions<br>> <br>> Can anyone recommend a new or secondhand laptop suitable for the latest<br>> versions of Ubuntu/Kubuntu.<br>> <br>> It'll be mainly used used for word-processing and Internet. It'll<br>> connected at various times by ethernet, wlan and 3 mobile broadband.<br>> <br>> A largish screen, say >=15" would be nice.<br>> <br>> My present laptop is an Acer Travelmate 230 running Puppy Linux. After<br>> it's been running for a time the hard drive just chunters away and the<br>> laptop slows so that it can take half an hour to shutdown. I think it<br>> may be overheating but I'm not sure. Again, any suggestions would be<br>> appreciated.<br>> <br>> Finally I'm trying to set up mobile broadband in Puppy Linux using its<br>> PGPRS Modem Setup Wizard. It detects three devices /dev/ttyUSB0,<br>> /dev/usb/ttyUSB0 and /dev/ttyS0. I assume one is the phone modem, one<br>> is the memory device on the mobile modem and the other is the modem<br>> itself. How do I work out which is which?<br>> <br>> It asks for the APN which I give as 3internet and the phone number. The<br>> default is *99***1#. Is this the right number? <br>> <br>> The best solution would be to chuck it all away and start again but<br>> unfortunately it's also the most expensive solution and I need to patch<br>> the Acer up while I save for a new one. <br>> <br>> Many Thanks,<br>> Peter.<br>> <br>> <br>> _______________________________________________<br>> Kent mailing list<br>> Kent@mailman.lug.org.uk<br>> https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/kent<br><br /><hr />Share your photos with Windows Live Photos – Free. <a href='http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/134665338/direct/01/' target='_new'>Try it Now!</a></body>
