Re: ModemData.txt (This is a NEW softmodem case!)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The remark about new cases is because of the quick expansion of so called new HDA modems. Thank you for informing us. Even more important will be to inform us about success/failure so that we can update our tables and skip the remark!

ModemData.txt says what you have to do. Please return to us for further help if needed:
BEGIN QUOTE
 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.

Already loaded into the kernel is snd-hda-intel and audio drivers it depends on,
 displayed by:	lsmod | grep snd_hda_intel

Salut,

I used your great ScanModem tool. It produced many infos.
In ModemData.txt I found these lines:

___
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!

So this is the mail and I will try to solve the problems, also that with
the soundcard HDA Intel (alc883), because the outline doesn't work...

Greetings

 -------------------------------------------
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-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
