Hello
I've been using the modem with my current installation for a while now. There
has been a new release of the OS with GCC4. After install I cannot connect
with the same file.
To connect to the net, with the current install, I went to the website
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/
From there I downloaded the file
slmodem-2.9.11-20061021
I am including the ModemData.txt file that was given out. Also, I just
downloaded scanModem.gz. But the file says that "scanModem update of:
2006_Jan_21", is that a typo or something? Because I just downloaded it!
This is a BestData modem with an actual SmartLink SL2800 chip. I can see the
chip and read the screen printing on it.
Thankyou.
