Hi all. Anybody know how to get my Targus Pocket Modem working under OZ 3.5.3? It works fine in sharp based roms. The Z indicates that a 'Serial or Modem' card has been inserted, but I don't know which network setting to use, or what dialing software/package can access it? thks
Post 'cardctl ident' and 'cardctl status' after you insert the card, it may well be recognised but you just need to install a driver for it so also post the output of 'logread' after you insert the card,

Cool, it does look like it's being recognized

I haven't heard of logread yet. neat. These lines are what we're interested in, right?

So then, do I need a separate driver? And what dialer programs if any, are available?
thanks lardman
It's a Targus PA560? I have one of them, and it works fine just out of the box.
To connect, you simply have to tap "add" in the "network" application, and choose "PPP". Then edit the new created connection with the details of your ISP and of the modem.
It's just that easy
