Hi!
I would appreciate an advice. I followed the
instruction in ModemData.txt. Here is what I got
at the terminal:
dominic@dominic-laptop:~/Desktop/SLMODEMD.gcc4$ sudo
modprobe snd-intel8x0m
dominic@dominic-laptop:~/Desktop/SLMODEMD.gcc4$ sudo
slmodemd -c CANADA --alsa modem:1
error: mixer setup: attach hw:1 error: No such device
ALSA lib pcm.c:2017:(snd_pcm_open_conf) Invalid type
for PCM modem:1 definition (id: modem, value:
cards.pcm.modem)
error: alsa setup: cannot open playback device
'modem:1': Invalid argument
error: cannot setup device `modem:1'
dominic@dominic-laptop:~/Desktop/SLMODEMD.gcc4$
Thank you,
Dominic

The PCI slot 00:1f.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.

Softmodem codec or Vendor from diagnostics:
from Archives: SIL27, an AgereSystems type.
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.
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: Intel ICH - MIC ADC : Intel 82801CA-ICH3 - MIC ADC : capture 1
00-00: Intel ICH : Intel 82801CA-ICH3 : playback 1 : capture 1
/proc/asound/modules
-------------------------------
0 snd_intel8x0
and from the command:
aplay -l | grep -i modem
