Simone,

Your modem
---------------
   Class 0703: 1039:7013 Modem: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] AC'97 Modem Controller
      Primary PCI_id  1039:7013
    Subsystem PCI_id  1071:7522
    Softmodem codec or Vendor from diagnostics: SIL21, a Pctel type.
                              from    Archives: SIL21, a Pctel type.

has a PCtel chipset.

It should in principle be supported by:
------------------
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 ITALY --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.
------------------

However problems are expected due to:
 --- Bootup diagnositcs for card in PCI slot 00:01.6 ----
[17179573.368000] ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:01.6[C] -> Link [LNKC] -> GSI 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11
[17179573.368000] ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:00:01.6 disabled

 The PCI slot 00:01.6 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.

can you help me?

 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:
 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
 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.


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
-------------------------------
00-01: trident_dx_nx IEC958 : Trident 4DWave IEC958 : playback 1
00-00: trident_dx_nx : Trident 4DWave : playback 32 : capture 1

        /proc/asound/modules
-------------------------------
 0 snd_trident
        /proc/asound/card0/codec97#0/mc97#1-1+regs
-------------------------------
0:7c = 5349  and  0:7e = 4c21
which were translated from hexadecimal code into:  SIL21

        /proc/asound/card0/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

 The kernel was compiled with gcc version 4.1.2 and a compiler is not installed

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

 If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
        gcc-4.1 make linux-headers-2.6.17-10-386


Checking pppd properties:
        -rwsr-xr-- 1 root dip 260920 2006-07-10 21:13 /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)
        sudo chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
or under Ubuntu related Linuxes
        sudo chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd

Checking settings of:   /etc/ppp/options
asyncmap 0
auth
crtscts
lock
hide-password
modem
proxyarp
lcp-echo-interval 30
lcp-echo-failure 4
noipx

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.
