Hi,

I'm cuban and I'm new here. Recently I bought a USB Modem (USR 5633
Robotics for dial-out), I'm using Debian Wheezy at home but I don't
know how configure it. I used modemmanager but it doesn't work. If
anybody can help me I will appreciate it.
According to a short google search it looks like this is a 'winmodem'
which is not supported by Linux.

Hi Sven,

Thanks for your answer. But yes, I know that... but I ask if exist
any way to use it.... I can't buy other... I read a How-to for
Motorola winmodems... but I didn't found any for USR. I'm asking if
anyone knows a way for USR.

The only way you'll be able to use it is to set up a computer running
Windows, allow it to run the modem, and use that as your Internet
gateway.

It. Just. Won't. Work. Under. Linux. Full stop.

Otherwise: I'd try to swap for cmpatible equipment.


Peace.
