Hi, Here the ModemData.txt file for a Compal HGL30 laptop (Intel barebone), because the ModemData.txt file says I should send it to the list :-). I didn't succeed to get the modem working: I tried slmodemd and I can issue AT commands to the device (and get a response), but when dialing, I immediately get "NO CARRIER" and slmodem then says: error: cannot set channels for playback: Invalid argument Any hints are welcome. ============================================================================= Only plain text email is forwarded by the DISCUSS@xxxxxxxxxxxxx List Server.

Its primary controller manages the traffic with the CPU.

Unpack under Linux with: $ tar zxf SLMODEMD.gcc4.tar.gz and read instructions therein.
