Querying slmodem ttySL0 with wvdialconf and kppp with no errors.
But when dialing it always results nocarrier error.
Please advice, and thanks in advance.

Be sure to read the Ethernet section of Modem/YourSystem.txt
A /dev/modem symbolic link is not present

For Mandrake/Mandiva 9.1 later, installation of the pciutils.rpm package providing lspci is necessary.
The installed utility lspcidrake is NOT an adequate alternate for scanModem support.

for High Definitiona Audio (HDA) cards with an embedded Conexant softmodem chip, a 2.6.16 kernel or later is required for use with the HSF modem driver version 7.47.00.01.

kernel was not compiled with the CONFIG_4KSTACKS option is not set as
the HSF modem driver is known to requires more than 4K of stacks in a

Files under /proc/asound/ do not include modem codec information.
If more decisive information is not given below,
this is a tentative signature of a Conexant hsfmodem. Download a hsfmodem package from
http://www.linuxant.com/drivers or your installation CDs. For SuSE/Novell, install both
km_hsfmodem and hsfmodem packages, for drivers and configuration tools respectively.
=== End mc97 codec query ===
Beginning check for older ac97_codec modems.
An older ac97_modem codec was not detected.
Information on several modem chipset providers is provided below,
because ambiguities remain on the correct choice of supporting software.

See Modem/Slmodem-ALSA.txt for details.
A sample compilation is shown in: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/archive-fifth/msg02567.html
For SuSE 9.2 users, there is an update for driver slamr.ko loading during bootup.

Vendor=8086 is Intel, Inc. producing HaM and 536ep host controller free (HCF) modems, 537 soft modem
http://developer.intel.com/design/modems/ . Also produced are
AC97 and MC97 controllers managing a varierty of non-Intel soft modem Subsystems.
These subSystems often have PCI_IDs assigned by the modem assembler, rather than the chip provider.
Download Intel-537ep drivers through: http://developer.intel.com/design/modems/support/drivers.htm

There is an active UDEV file system, creating device nodes in volatile RAM.
For SmartLink modems using the slamr.ko or slusb.ko drivers an /etc/init.d/ script
will be necessary to create /dev/slamr0 or /dev/slusb0 ports, or manually by:
# mknod -m 600 /dev/slamr0 c 242 0
# mknod -m 600 /dev/slusb0 c 243 0
upon each bootup.
For information on modem port creation under the UDEV device file system see:

Wvdial is a dialout utility very useful for modem testing. If not encluded on
your installation media, check your distrbutions on line software repository.

The following information blocks just query some ppp support items.
====================================================
grep -rs ppp /etc/modprobe.*

The following ppp related modules are likely unpacked during loading.
If not they should be unpacked by root with:
# gunzip PathTo/ModuleName.ko.gz
/boot/config
/boot/config-2.6.17-5mdv
/lib/modules/2.6.17-5mdv/kernel/drivers/net/bsd_comp.ko.gz

/lib/modules/2.6.17-5mdv/kernel/lib/zlib_deflate/zlib_deflate.ko.gz
On most Systems, unpacking will driven by installing the wvdial.rpm
and/or the package providing the KPPP graphical dialing interface.

This COMM mode should be closed before using the modem, or DNS services may fail.
