Unable to run SLMODEMD, UK Ubuntu 6.10 kernel 2.6.17-11-generic ,

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

I'm a brand new Linux user and have just installed Ubuntu version 6.10 on a laptop that contains an internal dialup modem.

The Scanmodem utility was straight forward) and I've downloaded & unpacked (hopefully the right term?) the relevant smartlink complied driver using the command:

$ tar zxf SLMODEMD.gcc4.1.tar.gz

and in my 'terminal' session I can move to this directory, but I'm not having any luck executing the file 'SLMODEMD'.

I've tried using the command:

$ sudo slmodemd -c UK --alsa hw:0,6

but only get the error message:

bash: SLMODEMD: command not found

I've read through the text files that were packaged with the driver and also tested trying to create a country list (purely for a test, there's already a usable country list bundled with the files) using command:

$ SLMODEMD --countrylist &>Clist.tx

but get the same error message.

I've a nasty feeling that I'm making a novice mistake somewhere and any advice would be appreciated.

Best Wishes

Fiona

 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:
 	sudo 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,
