And next time, better remember to hide it!
Many thanks for this, I changed my password...
Your modem works, the problem is not with the modem but between your ISP
(inwind.it) and your operating system.
To try to help you I would:
1-to see your file /etc/ppp/options
mrsource@mrsource-laptop:~$ cat /etc/ppp/options

# To quickly see what options are active in this file, use this command:
# egrep -v '#|^ *$' /etc/ppp/options
# Specify which DNS Servers the incoming Win95 or WinNT Connection
should use
# Two Servers can be remotely configured
# ms-dns 192.168.1.1

# Specify which WINS Servers the incoming connection Win95 or WinNT

# ms-wins 192.168.1.50
# ms-wins 192.168.1.51

# on the serial port.
crtscts
# Use software flow control (i.e. XON/XOFF) to control the flow of data
# on the serial port.
#xonxoff
# Specifies that certain characters should be escaped on transmission
# (regardless of whether the peer requests them to be escaped with its
# async control character map). The characters to be escaped are
# specified as a list of hex numbers separated by commas. Note that
# almost any character can be specified for the escape option, unlike

# Set the MRU [Maximum Receive Unit] value to <n> for negotiation. pppd

# Disables the default behaviour when no local IP address is specified,

#-ip
# Disable IPCP negotiation and IP communication. This option should

# Append the domain name <d> to the local host name for authentication

# Set the name of the local system for authentication purposes to <n>.
# This is a privileged option. With this option, pppd will use lines in

2-to know if you have tried to download the SAME FILE several times and
if the downloading then stops AT THE SAME PLACE.
Just login and do nothing else, as little as possible, before starting
the download, and look at
"Dec 30 20:43:20 mrsource-laptop pppd[30261]: Serial link appears to be
disconnected.
Dec 30 20:43:20 mrsource-laptop pppd[30261]: Connect time 12.4 minutes.
Dec 30 20:43:20 mrsource-laptop pppd[30261]: Sent 116583 bytes,
received 2631465 bytes." in your /var/log/messages
The number of RECEIVED bytes (here 2631465) will be approximately the
same if the hang occurs at the same place.
If you see nothing like in /etc/ppp/options,
asyncmap a0000
add such a line and retry.
Good luck - Jacques
The line asyncmap was just in ppp/options but with value =0. The
download stops in random mode when size is at least 800k - 1Mb.
I see that my modem works with module snd_intel8x0m not loaded, and
given "/etc/init.d/sl-modem-daemon start" :
mrsource@mrsource-laptop:~$ cat /etc/default/sl-modem-daemon
# NOTE: settings in /etc/defautls/slmodemd are used too
# set this to 1 to never run the daemon from the init script
# you can set it if you have an USB device, than the init script won't
# be started at boot (but when the USB device is plugged on)
DONTSTART=0
# This is the default configuration for the slmodem driver daemon
# running on Debian systems.
#
# Edit device node and country code here ...
#

# USA
# GERMANY

#
#
#SLMODEMD_DEVICE=slamr0
#SLMODEMD_COUNTRY=GERMANY
SLMODEMD_DEVICE=auto
#SLMODEMD_DEVICE=ALSA
SLMODEMD_COUNTRY=ITALY
#
# Additional options for slmodemd, see "slmodemd -h" output for details.
# Do NOT set country or device name here!
OPTS=""
# force the start of the daemon even if old type modules seem to be

FORCESTART=0
# set this to not see any hints of the init script on startup
BEQUIET=1
# set this to not create the /dev/modem symlink
# NOSYMLINK=1
Is very strange... with win_XP and my old gentoo installation I got no
problems.
Thanks for your time. Carlo.
