Introduction
This appendix explains how to install a modem on a computer operating under the Red Hat Linux 6.2
operating system. Other versions of Red Hat and other Linux operating systems should be similar. Briefly,
in Linux, you do not need drivers for most standard external modems and most internal ISA bus modems.
Programs in Linux commonly call upon the port, rather than the modem.
Standard Linux Serial Port Definitions
Installation
Connect the external modem to an available serial port.
Setup
This section describes how to make sure Linux can talk to the modem and be able to dial up to the
Internet. Linux can use different programs and desktops depending on who made the Linux operating
system and what version it is. The following procedures use the most commonly installed components of
Red Hat 6.2. More information can be found in your Linux OS owner’s manual.
Using the Terminal Program Minicom to Verify Operation
Using the Modem to Call the Internet
Linux allows different graphic user interfaces (GUI). In the following steps, we’ll use the Gnome Desktop
GUI and assume that the Internet Service Provider (ISP) you are calling assigns you the Domain Name
Service (DNS) and Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. For more information on DNS or IP, see the Linux
OS owner’s manual or contact your ISP.
