RE: bash: SLMODEMD: command not found
You can either
$ sudo ./slmodemd -c UK --alsa hw:0,6
or copy slmodemd to /usr/sbin/slmodemd
putting it on the command PATH. Then there should be a success with:
$ sudo slmodemd -c UK --alsa hw:0,6

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

-------------------------------------------
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,
