Hi! I'm Davide! I've just used your utility and the report shows this text: "This is a NEW softmodem case! Please send the output ModemData.txt to DISCUSS@xxxxxxxxxxxxx , even if further assistance is not needed. It will enrich the Archive and help others!" For this reason, there is the output attached. Bye bye and greetings! P.S: Could you please help me? I'm stuck on that 'cos I don't know where to read (too many lines!) : what kind of modem do I have? Thanks and bye again! Davide. ------------------------------------------------------ Passa a Infostrada. ADSL e Telefono senza limiti e senza canone Telecom http://click.libero.it/infostrada20dic06

Its primary controller manages the traffic with the CPU. But the software needed is specified in the Subsystem. ----------------------------------------- Support type needed or chipset: slmodemd An ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) modem driver: snd-hda-intel provides Low Level support enabling contact with the modem hardware. For all BUT Conexant chip soft modems (using hsfmodem software) complementary High Level support is through a Smartlink utility: slmodemd Download from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/ the package SLMODEMD.gcc4.tar.gz having a compiled slmodemd. Unpack under Linux with: $ tar zxf SLMODEMD.gcc4.tar.gz and read instructions therein. But briefly, the modem is setup with command: sudo slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY --alsa hw:0,6 reporting dynamic creation of ports: /dev/ttySL0 --> /dev/pts/N , with N some number Read Smartlink.txt and Modem/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance.
