Follows entire text of ModemData file, which says it has found a
hitherto nondescript softmodem and that you would like to hear about it.
The machine is a HiGrade M6500 Laptop, vintage 2003, dual booting with
XP but I am sending this now and will investigate what XP may tell me
about the chipset later. I was previously under the impression it was a
PCTel chipped device. Scanmodem was version downloaded today.==

a bootup process, but then enabled later. If modem drivers load
but the modem is not responsive, read Bootup.txt about possible fixes.

-------------------------------------------
Lacking a dsp (digital signal processing) chip, the modem is a
software
intensive or "softmodem" type. 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-intel8x0m
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:
slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY --alsa modem:1
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.
Already loaded into the kernel is snd-intel8x0m and audio drivers it
depends on,
displayed by: lsmod | grep snd_intel8x0m

Kernel-header resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!
If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
