Which CF modem?

[Zuber]

Not got one myself, but recently lent a C750 to Foxpop for review. They had a couple of CF Modems knocking around that they tried out and worked ok. Pretec and Xircom.

See http://www.foxpop.co.uk/Sharp/zaurus_cover.htm (You want connectivity page).

I\'ve gotta ambicom modem...works great

Guest, which ambicom mobem? I have CF56M-EZ and I cannot get it
to respond to minicom (what serial port should I be talking to? Tried ttyS1, ttyS2)
and the \'on\' light does not come on.

I have been trying to dial in to it and have getty give me a login propmt, but
now I am starting to wonder if my problem is perhaps with the card.
edit
I did not try ttyS3- now that I have, it works on my SL5500.

I have that same modem and I can\'t get it to work with my 5600.
Although I think I tried to use ttyS3. I can\'t get minicom to work with it either (this is the first time i\'ve ever played with minicom)

What steps did you take to get it to work?

In minicom I pressed Control-A Z to get the setup menu. Then I selected o, and then serial port setup from the menu.  I then selected A and typed either /dev/ttyS3 or just ttyS3.

I have it dialing and making connections, but I have not succeeded in doing file transfers.
Trying to use z-modem with a Mac. Might try ppp soon, but havo only done direct computer to computer connections so far, manualy issuing ata and atd.

Sigh I can\'t figure out how to actually dial on mine ....

Those of you with the Socket modem what rom/model of the Zaurus are you using?

And what steps did you take to get it to work?

\'Figured it out -- wasn\'t much to it -- Socket CF modem works fine under Sharp Rom 3x

The Pretec CompactModem is excellent, works flawlessly just like any external serial modem with Linux.
I have tested it successfully with Zaurii SL-5000D, SL-5500 and SL-6000L and with many different roms, sharp, tkc, hybrid, oz.
I managed to send and receive faxes with it, too :wink:

Been using/selling the Pretec one for a while now and it works a treat with the C7/8xx models and standard roms.

Who has a Targus PA560 working (if anyone) and what are the init commands?  I ordered a new, sealed PA560U (that\'s what it said on the packaging, anyway), but the modem inside turned out to be a PA560.  Thanks.
