Linux and Windows

This section is about getting Linux and Windows to work together, either in the same network or even on the same machine. It also talks about things you can do to help yourself (and others) ugrade from Windows to Linux.
One common argument against Linux is the lack of software. That is just a myth. There are replacements/equivalents for every imaginable type of software. The only problem you might encounter is when you need a very specific feature that only one software product has or need a special format. Note that "special format" typically means propriatary, as you can bet that Linux supports all open standards.
For a list of replacements/equivalents, check out these two places:

Linux configure modem to connect to the Internet using a PPP dialup account

I want to configure modem to dial out and connect to the Internet. Since I don't have good display card, I am not using the X window system. How do I configure (external) modem to connect to the Internet using a PPP dialup account under Debian Linux?
A. It is true that dialup modems have become almost obsolete due to broadband Internet connections, there are still situations where dialup access can prove useful :)

Under Linux you can dial out using program called wvdial. It is a PPP dialer with built-in intelligence. It dials a modem and starts PPP in order to connect to the Internet. The connection started with wvdial can be dropped by switching back to the terminal from where it was started and pressing ctrl-C.
The default configuration file is: /etc/wvdial.conf.

Installation

Since you are using Debian Linux, use apt-get (assuming that CDROM is your source):
# apt-get install wvdial
Other Linux distribution users can download wvdial from Internet or install from your distribution CD/DVD-ROM disk.

Configuration

First, make sure modem is installed and type the following command to configure the modem:
# wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
Once modem is detected you need to edit /etc/wvdial.conf configuration file to specify the PPP username, password and dial out phone number.
For example:
[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/ttyS1
Baud = 115200
Init1 = ATZ
Phone = 172226
Username = Your-USERNAME
Password = Your-PASSWORD
Save and close the file.
To connect to internet type command:
# wvdial
To disconnect, switch back to the terminal from where it was started and pressing CTRL+C.

Cara Koneksi Modem ke Linux

Koneksi DialUp di Linux dengan USB modem external

Suatu Operasi system tidak lengkap didalamnya jika tidak terinstall modem untuk koneksi ke internet, untuk windows kita tidak direpotkan dalam hal driver, dikarenakan sudah di sertakan dalam bundle. Bagaimana untuk pengguna open source, untuk OS Linux kita enggang menggunakan yang dikarenakan mungkin salah satu susahnya dukungan driver-driver dari suatu vendor/produk, tidak terkecuali driver modem. Untuk kali ini saya ingin membuktikan bahwa itu sekarang bisa di atasi dengan sedikit klik sana klik sini, sebagai catatan :

Pada saat percobaan ini, saya menggunakan modem dlink DU-562M V.92 USB Eksternal.

Pada saat kabel USB di sambungkan ke port USB di PC, nantinya terdeteksi di linux sebagai /dev/ttySHSF0.

Driver yang diperlukan dapat kita didownload di http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads.php , sampai saat ini yang di support adalah Fedora Core 1 – 6, Fedora 7, Freedows, Redhat Ent, SimplyMepis, Mandriva, Ubuntu, SuSE, TurboLinux sampai Sun JDS Relese 2.

Ok, kita mulai proses install, download terlebih dahulu driver sesuai distro yang ada miliki, untuk penulis menggunakan distro ubuntu 7.04.

Masuk sebagai root :

root@marom-desktop:/home/marom# ls
hsfmodem_7.60.00.02full_i386.deb

root@marom-desktop:/home/marom# sudo dpkg -i hsfmodem_7.60.00.02full_i386.deb
