Then alter modem configuration based on our previous modem information (How to Detect Your Modem). Most settings only required 2 fields:
- Modem port: /dev/ttyUSB0 (Linux) or com10 (Windows)
- Modem connection: usually modern modem support "at115200", if not sure then just type "at"
[gammu]
port= /dev/ttyUSB0
connection = at115200
Windows
Edit "gammurc" file, see above Linux section.
[gammu]
port= com10:
connection = at115200
NOTE:
- On Windows com written as com10: (with colon), instead com10.
- Sometimes text editor provided by Windows can not write to gammurc with error message "file used by another". To solve this issue use CodeLobster PHP Editor, a freeware version available here: http://www.codelobster.com/. CodeLobster is a special editor which support Drupal API
