Welcome to SUSE LINUX 10.0 (i586) - Kernel
Linux version 2.6.13-15-default (geeko@buildhost) (gcc version 4.0.2 20050901 (prerelease) (SUSE Linux)) #1 Tue Sep 13 14:56:15 UTC 2005
scanModem update of: 2007_March_15
USB modem not detected by lsusb
Modem or host audio card candidates have firmware information:
PCI slot PCI ID SubsystemID Name
---------- --------- --------- --------------
00:14.2 1002:437b 1462:0369 Class 0403: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device 437b

--- Bootup diagnositcs for card in PCI slot 00:14.2 ----
=== Finished modem firmware and bootup diagnostics section. ===
=== Next deducing cogent software ===
ALSAversion 1.0.9a
The audio card is not a modem hosting type.
For candidate modem in PCI bus: 00:14.2
Class 0403: 1002:437b Class 0403: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device 437b
Primary PCI_id 1002:437b
Subsystem PCI_id 1462:0369
Softmodem codec or Vendor from diagnostics:
from Archives: 11c1, an AgereSystems type.
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-intel8x0m
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.gcc4.0.tar.gz having a compiled slmodemd. Unpack under Linux with:
$ tar zxf SLMODEMD.gcc4.0.tar.gz
and read instructions therein. But briefly, the modem is setup with command:
slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY --alsa modem:1
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-intel8x0m and audio drivers it depends on,
displayed by: lsmod | grep snd_intel8x0m

The diagnostic outputs for this softmodem section have their raw information in
folders and text files under /proc/asound/ which you can browse. The information
is from files:
/proc/asound/pcm

00-01: ALC882 Digital : ALC882 Digital : playback 1 : capture 1

0 snd_hda_intel
and from the command:
aplay -l | grep -i modem

Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udevdb
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.0.2
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.0.2
Kernel-header resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!
If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
kernel-source-2.6.13-15-default
Checking pppd properties:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root dialout 279704 2005-09-09 18:29 /usr/sbin/pppd
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
