Installing Rconnect In Suse Linux

[opensource 0]

Hi,

I have the LG Fixed Wireless Phone LSP-340E from Reliance and a serial cable for it.

I already use it to access the net under Windows 98 SE, where it is configured at port COM1.

Inorder to access the internet under SuSe 9.0 Live Eval (boots off a CD like Knoppix) I downloaded the Rconnect software version 1.0 rconnect1.0.tar from http://www.relianceinfo.com/Infocomm/tar/r...cmdline-1.0.tar

Then I duly followed all the steps given in the User Guide to install it at

http://www.relianceinfo.com/Infocomm/html/..._userguide.html

However when it tried to detect the modem at COM1 which I had specified, it went into an infinite loop and all I got was this message periodically after every 5 seconds until I pressed Ctrl+Break to return to the prompt-:

wc:/var/log/messages:File or directory not found.

tail:/var/log/messages:File or directory not found.

tail:/var/log/messages:File or directory not found.

tail:/var/log/messages:File or directory not found.

tail:/var/log/messages:File or directory not found.

The User Guide says that any problems faced should be looked up in /var/log/messages. But this file doesn't seem to be getting created at all in my case!

Can someone guide me please?

Thanks.

Hi,

It's me , the question asker.

So, did any of you guys ever had any problem while running the install.sh script, that's what I would like to know. Is the script flawless

I was also never asked by install.sh whether I had USB or Serial cable. It however somehow gave me COM1 and COM2 to choose from only, later on.
