Hi,

I'm trying to get the modem in a 'Samsung M55-Pro T7200' notebook to work.
When using the alsa driver, slmodemd starts fine with

Mar 18 20:09:58 peano slmodemd: symbolic link `/dev/ttySL0' -> `/dev/pts/1' created.
Mar 18 20:09:58 peano slmodemd: modem `hw:0,6' created. TTY is `/dev/pts/1'
Mar 18 20:09:58 peano slmodemd: Modem device: `/dev/ttySL0'

However, when I try to dial out I get the following

[root@peano Modem]# wvdial T_Online
--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.54.0
--> Cannot get information for serial port.
--> Initializing modem.
--> Sending: ATZ

ERROR
--> No Carrier!  Trying again.
--> Sending: ATDT0,1,9,10,1,1
--> Waiting for carrier.
ATDT0,1,9,10,1,1
NO CARRIER

and in /var/log/messages there is the error message

slmodemd: error: cannot setup hw params for playback: Invalid argument
hda-intel: invalid format_val, rate=9600, ch=1, format=2

I also updated the alsa driver to 1.0.14rc3 (from atrpms) but this didn't change the behaviour.

With the slamr driver (built from an adapted SRPM from Andreas Thienemann's page) I get the error
slmodemd: error: mdm setup: cannot open dev `/dev/slamr': No such device

So, I'm really stuck. What options are left?

Thanks.

Eberhard

-------------------------------------------
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.

Completed candidate modem analyses.

The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev

Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.1.1
            and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.1.1

Kernel-header resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!

If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:

In case of an "error 17" "serial loopback" problem, see:
   http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/archive-sixth/msg02637.html

To enable dialout without Root permission do:
	$ su - root  (not for Ubuntu)
        chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
or under Ubuntu related Linuxes
	 chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd

In case of a message like:
  Warning: Could not modify /etc/ppp/pap-secrets: Permission denied

Read Modem/YourSystem.txt concerning other COMM channels: eth0 eth1 tun0
Which can interfere with Browser naviagation.

Don't worry about the following, it is for the experts
should trouble shooting be necessary.
