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.==

 Do use the following as the email Subject Line:

 This will alert cogent experts, and  distinguish cases in the Archives.
 YourCountry will enable Country Code guidance.

Modem or host audio card candidates have firmware information:

 The PCI slot 00:02.6 of the modem card may be disabled early in
 a bootup process,  but then enabled later. If modem drivers load
 but the  modem is not responsive, read Bootup.txt about possible fixes.
 Send dmesg.txt along with ModemData.txt to discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
 if help is needed.

 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!
 -------------------------------------------
 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.

depends on,

The diagnostic outputs for this softmodem section have their raw
information in
folders and text files under /proc/asound/ which you can browse. The
information
is from files:
        /proc/asound/pcm

00-00: Intel ICH : SiS SI7012 : playback 1 : capture 1

0:7c = 5349  and  0:7e = 4c21
which were translated from hexadecimal code into:  SIL21

        /proc/asound/card1/codec97#0/mc97#1-1

Extended modem ID: codec=1 LIN1

and from the command:
        aplay -l | grep -i modem

Writing Smartlink.txt
============ end Smartlink section =====================

 Completed candidate modem analyses.

 The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev

 Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.1.1
             and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.1.1

 Kernel-header resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!

 If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
         kernel-source-2.6.18-1.2868.fc6


Checking pppd properties:
        -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 312492 Dec  1 12:51 /usr/sbin/pppd

In case of an "error 17" "serial loopback" problem, see:
    http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/archive-sixth/msg02637.html

To enable dialout without Root permission do:
        $ su - root  (not for Ubuntu)
         chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
or under Ubuntu related Linuxes
         chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd

Checking settings of:   /etc/ppp/options
lock

Read Modem/YourSystem.txt concerning other COMM channels: eth0
Which can interfere with Browser naviagation.

 Don't worry about the following, it is for the experts
 should trouble shooting be necessary.
