I have this modem as listed by lspci:
00:1f.6 Modem: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M)
AC'97
Modem Controller (rev 03) (prog-if 00 [Generic])

Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 0, IRQ 6
I/O ports at e200 [size=256]
I/O ports at e300 [size=128]
Capabilities: <access denied>
I,m running ubuntu 6.10 and I load snd_intel8x0m and slamr modules as in
linux gentoo. Then I use slmodemd and wvdial in this way:
-/usr/sbin/slmodemd --country=ITALY --alsa modem:1
-wvdial.conf

The problem is that when I download files that is bigger than 800KB/1MB,
the

On gentoo, with same major verison of kernel I had no problem (now I
lost
gentoo installation :-( ), I have used same modules snd_intel8x0m and
slamr
and in winxp I have no problem.
I have incleded below ModemData.txt outputted by your utility scanModem.
Help me!!
Thanks! Carlo.

-------------------------------------------
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:
sudo 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,
