RJ 0) Remove the slmdm-2.7.15 modem software currently installed 1) at http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages use the package name search engine to find sl-modem-daemon After download and copying into your home folder under Linux, the install commands within that folder is: $ su root # dpkg -i sl*.deb This package provides bootup automation scripts for the modem 2) Setup for compiling First install the packages kernel-headers-2.4.27-3-386 and kernel-headers-2.4.27-3 if they are on your install CDs, $ su - root # apt-get install kernel-headers-2.4.27-3-386 will install them. Alternatively they can be obtained through searching for package names kernel-headers-2.4.27-3 at http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages After download and copying into your home folder under Linux, the install command within that folder is: # dpkg -i kernel*.deb Either route will complete your setup for compiling. Step 3)
From http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/ get the
slmodem-2.9.11-20061021.tar.gz Under Linux do $ tar zxf slm*.tar.gz $ cd slmodem-2.9.11-20061021 Look around with $ ls $ make clean $ make $ su root $ make install will install the drivers etc. For simplicity reboot to benefit for the automated modem setup. $ su root # wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf SHould find the modem. Edit in personal info with # gedit /etc/wvdial.conf removing the < > symbols and adding a line Carrier Check = no Dial should then be acccomplished with # wvdial Read SmartLink.txt and Testing.txt for details MarvS scanModem maintainerf On 1/29/07, rjefferey@xxxxxxxxx <rjefferey@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:
Thanks for the help, I'm new to Linux and am trying to make the switch to Linux. I'm setting up a computer for my mother to use to browse the internet. She only has dial-up as an option. I have Debian on the computer and Gnome starts when it boots up. A cd came with the modem and has two files in a folder Drivers==>Linux==>slmdm-2.7.15.tar & slmdm-dix.patch The "read me" file only mentions installation under RedHat (I tried to relate it to Debian unsuccessfully) I will continue to attempt to sort through the information.
