Don, Fully uninstall the hsfmodem package. It can interfere slmodemd support. Then reboot and retest $ sudo slmodemd -c CANADA --alsa modem:1 MarvS scanModem maintainer On 1/24/07, Dominic Mayers <dominic_mayers@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:
Hi! I would appreciate an advice. I followed the instruction in ModemData.txt.
