Hello.
Sorry, I do not speak English, but I need you help.
I have new notebook - MSI MEGABOOK M670. It has unknown modem. Any
manipulations didn`t help me. I send to you some files: from ScanModem and
from Windows.
Please help me. You can write in English. Please use simple phrases.
Best regards,

This is a NEW softmodem case! Please send the output ModemData.txt
to DISCUSS@xxxxxxxxxxxxx , even if further assistance is not needed.
It will enrich the Archive and help others!
-------------------------------------------
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-hda-intel
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.gcc4.1.tar.gz having a compiled slmodemd. Unpack under Linux with:
$ tar zxf SLMODEMD.gcc4.1.tar.gz
and read instructions therein. But briefly, the modem is setup with command:
slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY --alsa hw:0,6
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.
Already loaded into the kernel is snd-hda-intel and audio drivers it depends on,

Complementation of snd-hda-intel, slmodemd and a dialer utility
---------------------------------------------------------
THe ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture} modem driver snd-hda-intel
provides ONLY a low level access to the hardware. The complementing HIGH
level support for ALSA modem drivers is through a Smartlink utility: slmodemd
An ALSA compatible and compiled slmodemd is in the package SLMODEMD.gcc4.1.tar.gz
with download from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/
Unpack under Linux with:
$ tar zxf SLMODEMD.gcc4.1.tar.gz
and read instructions therein.
Typically the driver snd-hda-intel will be autoloaded on most Systems.
Then a Root permission command:
slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY --alsa hw:0,6
will announce creation of ports
/dev/ttySL0 --> /dev/pts/N , N some number
The /dev/ttySL0 is a symbolic link to the true modem port /dev/pts/N
USA is the YOUR_COUNTRY default. See other Country alternatives by:
slmodemd --help
slmodemd --countrylist
Should there be a failure report like:
--------
ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:1305:(_snd_pcm_hw_open) Invalid value for card
error: alsa setup: cannot open playback device hw:0,6 No such device
error: cannot setup device hw:0,6
--------
First verify that packages providing ALSA audio support are installed.
Names vary with the Linux distribution but they are like "alsa-base"
and "alsa-utilities". In these are installed,
Next try as Root unloading and loading the driver:
modprobe -r snd-hda-intel
modprobe snd-hda-intel
Then retest the:
slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY --alsa hw:0,6
slmodemd MUST be kept running throughout a dial out session.
Note that mere loading does NOT establish that snd-hda-intel is the correct
driver, rather than hsfmodem drivers for Conexant chipset modems. But
snd-hda-intel may still support readout of Subsystem information.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
A dialer utility such as wvdial (perferable) is still needed for dialout.
slmodemd MUST be kept running throughout a dialout session.
On some Systems, putting the slmodemd process in the background with an &:
slmodemd -c USA --alsa hw:0,6 &
causes subsequent dialout failures.
Read Testing.txt for follow through details and Smartlink.txt
for additional information.
Interfererce with browser naviagation:
-------------------------------------
Other COMM channels can interfere with browsing under dialout.
Suspect channels set during your scanModem run were shown by: ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:16:17:52:84:3D
inet addr:192.168.0.2 Bcast:255.255.255.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
inet6 addr: fe80::216:17ff:fe52:843d/64 Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:146894 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:81901 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:212253625 (202.4 Mb) TX bytes:6727182 (6.4 Mb)
Interrupt:201 Base address:0x6000
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1
RX packets:355 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:355 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
RX bytes:31468 (30.7 Kb) TX bytes:31468 (30.7 Kb)
A block with "lo" is an internal loopback test and harmless.
However, other COMM channels such as ethernet "eth0" will block browser function
through dialout connections. Domain Name Services (DNS) needed for browsing
will be blocked by an ineffective default usage of the eth0 assigned DNS.
If is wisest to disable bootup establishment of alternate channels in your Control Center.
Depending on your Linux distribution,
one of the following root/admin commands may alternatively be effective:
# ifdown eth0
# ifconfig eth0 down
# /etc/init.d/network stop
# /etc/init.d/networking stop
Be wary that some Systems will periodically try to re-establish internet.
So if browsing should suspiciously fail, recheck with
ifconfig
