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.

 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

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

In case of a message like:

see http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-sixth/msg04656.html

Read Modem/YourSystem.txt concerning other COMM channels: eth0 eth2
Which can interfere with Browser naviagation.

 Don't worry about the following, it is for the experts
 should trouble shooting be necessary.
