Well I have been at the computer working on trying to get my modem to work, and
it's been almost 15 hours straight (we all know what that is like). Anyway I
decided to install two copies of Ubuntu 11.10. One in VMware, the other using
Wubi.exe.
Now in VMware I have made it to be identical to my wubi install with no modem
support, or extra drivers. I disabled the NAT in the machine settings, and set
up a Serial using Com3. After I did this I installed Wvdial, and once I entered
wvdialconf it happen to find my modem, and wrote the much needed information in
the wvdial.conf file. I tried a quick test, and it worked, it dialed out for
me.
Now with that I thought maybe I had a chance here, and so I am now trying to
figure out how to use something called setserial.
Three questions here: 1: Did VMware just pull the info from windows, and use
the windows modem drivers?
2: If VMware worked as a lone copy of Ubuntu, then would using SetSerial do the
very same thing?
3: How do I use SetSerial? I have tried all of the suggestions that I have come
across which unfortunately is all for USB not for internal PCI modems.
All the help I get I will definitely appreciate believe me.
Cheers.
