Re: slmodemd -c URUGUAY --alsa hw:0,6 The slmodemd supported modems are in two categories. The newer and increasingly prevalant are HDA (High Definition Audio) controller which can host softmodem subsystems. These use the command format: slmodemd -c URUGUAY --alsa hw:0,N when N is usually 1 or 6 If there are no System problems ./scanModem will be able to report whixh N to use. The older type are the older AC'97 type SoftModem Controller cards. For all of these but the Conexant chip subtype requiring hsfmodem software , the command is like: slmodemd -c URUGUAY --alsa modem:1 To deal with System problems blocking a full scanModem diagnostic I long ago set a default output: slmodemd -c COUNTRY --alsa modem:1 because it was usually correct. But with the increasing prevalance of HDA hosted modems, I'll have to chamge that default. In the meantme MUCH THANKS for all you who are helping out, and just remember that if it is a HDA based modem the needed command syntax is like slmodemd -c URUGUAY --alsa hw:0,N If some coming guidance, I'll illustrate how to recognize this amon the scanModem outputs.

Ok, maybe this is one of those cases in which you need to update alsa to a newer version and recompile. Or instead of --alsa modem:1, try something like # slmodemd -c URUGUAY --alsa hw 0:6, I am not sure or could be that the modem card is disabled in the bootup process as the lines show, The PCI slot 00:1f.6 of the modem card may be disabled early in a bootup process, but then enabled later. If modem drivers load, but the modem is not responsive, read Bootup.txt about possible fixes. Send dmesg.txt along with ModemData.txt to discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx if help is needed. When you do # slmodemd -c URUGUAY --alsa modem:1 open up another terminal and run dmesg and send to discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx for further help.
