Compiling modem drivers are necessary
One of the two procedures must be followed.
If not yet on the Internet, put the Dapper install CD in the drive
Open a terminal and therein:
$ sudo apt-get install gcc-4.0 make
Additionally the packages
linux-headers-2.6.15-27
linux-headers-2.6.15-27-386 must be downloaded.
Go to http://packages.ubuntu.com/ and search for
linux-headers-2.6.15-27-386
After downloading, it can be installed with:
$ sudo dpkg -i linux-header*.deb
Or alternatively if online through Ethernet do:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential
will do all the necessary installations mentioned above.
Get driver packages from
http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/packages/smartlink/
Download the ungrab-winmodem.tar.gz and slmodem-2.9.11-20070204.tar.gz
Unpack, Run the compile and installs.
Read the attached Smartlink.txt for details.
Report back if you need help.

Do use the following as the email Subject Line:
SomeName, YourCountry Ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS kernel 2.6.15-27-386
This will alert cogent experts, and distinguish cases in the Archives.
YourCountry will enable Country Code guidance.

The PCI slot 0000:01:00.0 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.

Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
The kernel was compiled with gcc version 4.0.3 and a compiler is not
installed
If compiling a modem driver proves to be necessary, one of the two
procedures must be followed.
If not yet on the Internet, put the Dapper install CD in the drive
Open a terminal and therein:
$ sudo apt-get install gcc-4.0 make
Additionally the package linux-headers-2.6.15-27-386 must be downloaded.
Go to http://packages.ubuntu.com/ and search for
linux-headers-2.6.15-27-386
After downloading, it can be installed with:
$ sudo dpkg -i linux-header*.deb
Or alternatively if online through Ethernet do:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential
will do all the necessary installations mentioned above.
In either installation case, set a symbolic link which will be expected
later:
$ sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gcc-4.0 /usr/bin/gcc
After check with:
$ ls -l /usr/bin/gcc*
which should display:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 2006-07-09 21:53 /usr/bin/gcc ->
/usr/bin/gcc-4.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 93584 2006-04-20 18:22 /usr/bin/gcc-4.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 16245 2006-04-20 18:13 /usr/bin/gccbug-4.0
Kernel-header resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!
If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
gcc-4.0 make linux-headers-2.6.15-27-386

Smartlink modem setup.
-----------------------------------------------------------
The modem should setup with:
sudo modprobe ungrab-winmodem
sudo modprobe slamr
sudo slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY /dev/slamr0
which should announce creation of ports:
/dev/ttySL0 --> /dev/pts/N , N some number
Specify the symbolic link /dev/ttySL0 as the port to be used by dailer software.
SmartLink (http://www.smlink.com/) chipset modems are sold under a variety
of BrandNames, and have vendor IDs 163c, 2000, 2003, and 2004. Conexant bought
Smartlinks's modem techhology sector in 2005. While Linux updates are not
expected from Conexant, Linux support is still very good thanks to volunteer
Linux maintainer Sasha Khapyorsky. Get his updated software from:
http://linmodems.technion.il/packages/smartlink/
A high level support component is a smart helper: slmodemd
Acting through one of several drivers, it creats ports dynamically and
supports COMM and FAXing functions. During facsimile usage, the AT&F command
is not supported. A means of implmenting the CNG is lacking, because this
function is encoded within the dsplibs.o precompiled at Smartlink, Inc. See
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=116026350800001&r=1&w=2
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=hylafax&m=116041369404444&w=2
Usage of SMP (Symmetric MultiProcessor) mother boards is
supported. For service on 64 bit AMD x86_64 processor mother boards, see
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/archive-fourth/msg02594.html
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/archive-fifth/msg02490.html
However a 64 bit compilation of a proprietary dsplibs.o conponent is not
available. Hence for modem usage the computers must be operated in 32 bit mode.
The slmodemd supports a few different types of modem drivers. Below the suffix
.ko means the modular form of a driver, before loading into the kernel. The
slmodemd does not access the modem hardware directly. Rather access is provided
through lower sophistication drivers. Prior to usage of a slamr driver, there
must be a release of serial driver interference by loading of: ungrab-winmodem.ko
For PCI card modems with Smartlink chips the driver used is: slamr.ko
For USB modems with ID 0483:7554 use Smartlink driver: slusb.ko
For ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) modem drivers, see the Table below.
Sasha's core resources are:
----------------------------
ungrab-winmodem.tar.gz - for compiling a ungrab-winmodem.ko driver
slmodem-2.9.11-MostRecentDate.tar.gz - the core code resource for compiling
and installing slmodemd, slamr.ko and slusb.ko. The slmodemd dynamically
creates ports and provides higher level COMM functions, after driver
loading. Not being a driver, slmodemd serves under alternative boot kernels.
ALSA modem drivers, included with 2.6.n kernel+module releases.
Some derivative resources at http://linmodems.technion.il/packages/smartlink/
SLMODEMD.gcc4.1.tar.gz - containing a compiled slmodemd and usage instructions.
When used with ALSA modem drivers, further compiling is not necessary.
> SLMODEMD.gcc4.1.tar.gz will suffice for getting online, though read on about automation. <<< See Compiling_slmodemd below, for details.
sl-modem-daemon-SomeVersion.deb - an installer for Debian related distros.
It has slmodemd and scripts for starting slmodemd at boot.
This package is also available from repositories of Debian related distros
Ubuntu, Kbuntu, Ebuntu, Xandros, Kanotix and others.
sl-modem-daemon-SomeVersion.tar.gz has the same contents, but is repackaged
in an easily opened format, for access to its automation scripts.
After unpacking, they are resident in the etc/ subfolder
sl-modem-source-SomeVersion.deb - is a Debian installer for the slamr and slusb
source code. It is Not necessary for ALSA driver usage.
slamr-KernelVersion.tar.gz - for several Ubuntu KernelVersions, containing:
ungrab-winmodem.ko, slamr.ko, slusb.ko, slmomdem, setup script and as
a convenience, the sl-modem-daemon-SomeVersion.deb. Look in the folder:
http://linmodems.technion.il/packages/smartlink/ubuntu/
Slmodemd actions
-----------------------------------------
Start working with slmodemd with commands:
slmodemd --help
slmodemd --countrylist
The long output can be written to a Clist.txt file with:
slmodemd --countrylist &> Clist.txt
Find your COUNTRY_NAME within the 2nd column if the list and record it.
It will be used in capital letters during the modem setup command.
Try USA if your COUNTRY is not in the list.
Before modem setup root/adm capacity must be acquired with:
su - root
or by prefixing commands with "sudo" for Ubuntu Linux and its cousins.
The setup command is:
sudo slmodemd -c COUNTRY_NAME --alsa slmodemd_device
if successful there will be reported dynamic creation of:
/dev/ttySL0 --> /dev/pts/N , with N a number
The /dev/ttySL0 is a symbolic link to the real modem port /dev/pts/N ,
and it is /dev/ttySL0 which should be named to dialup utilities such
as wvdial. The "--alsa" is only needed for usage with ALSA modem drivers.
Throughout a dialout session slmodemd MUST be kept running. Open another
console/termimal to startup dialout software such as wvdial.
The slmodemd device nodes
---------------------------
The slmodemd_device is different for the several modem drivers.
For usage with slamr.ko , the slmodemd_device is /dev/slamr0 , within
the command sequence:
sudo modprobe ungrab-windmodem
sudo modprobe slamr
sudo slmodemd -c COUNTRY_NAME /dev/slamr0
For USB modem usage:
sudo modprobe slusb
sudo slmodemd -c COUNTRY_NAME /dev/slusb0
For a modems using a ALSA driver, details are below.
The /dev/slamr0 and /dev/slusb0 will be made the slmodem installation
processes. However, they usually will NOT survice reboot, because
most current Linux have ports created in volatile RAM space. However
the these devices can be manually created under root/adm persmission with:
sudo mknod -m 600 /dev/slamr0 c 242 0
sudo mknod -m 600 /dev/slusb0 c 243 0
if automation scripts are not yet in place.
For automation of RPM using Linux distros see:
http://www20.brinkster.com/olivares/slmodemd-setup-1.html
For any Distro the following lines will serve in /etc/modprobe.conf or subfolders of
/etc/modprobe.d/:
--------------
alias char-major-243 slusb

Usage with ALSA modem drivers
--------------------------------
See SoftModem.txt for a description of the hardware. For a modem using
an ALSA driver, the slmodemd_device only has to be specified within the
slmodemd command line. A preliminary "mknod something" command is not necessary.
The Table shows hardware PCI ID, its card type, driver and slmodemd_device name.
The ALI5451 and HDA (High Definition Audio) cards can host softmodems. For these
cards hw:0,0 is the audio card designation and the modem Subsystem on it
is most commonly hw:0,1 , but there are some hw:0,6 cases. For the older
soft modem controller family, the ALSA software first assigns hw:0 to an audio
card, and the following modem designation is hw:1 or equivalently modem:1
An attempt to use modem:0 may initially appear successful, but modem:0 or hw:0
is actually the companion audio card.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
* The scanModem script tries to determine ALSA modem driver and slmodemd_device
dynamically from /proc/asound/ information, or the internal Archive as a fallback.
Do a precautionary unloading and reloading of the driver.
su - root (not for Ubuntu)
sudo modprobe -r driver
sudo modprobe driver
This precaution is sometimes necessary, because a driver may functionally die
although loaded. But usually it can be skipped.
For this System, scanModem deduced slmodemd_device is:
For most modems the setup command is:
sudo slmodemd -c COUNTRY_NAME --alsa modem:1
For modems on HDA cards, the command is:
sudo slmodemd -c COUNTRY_NAME --alsa hw:0,1
though there have been cases of hw:0,6
For the ALI5451 hosted modems, a shortbuffer (-s) option is needed:
sudo slmodemd -s -c COUNTRY_NAME --alsa hw:0,1
The slamr diagnostic
---------------------
Sasha has provided slamr.ko with a capability for reporting softmodem codecs,
even for modems not supported fully by slamr. This is useful when other
resources do not report out the modem codec, needed to distinguish between
hsfmodem, slamr and ALSA driver support alternatives.
This slamr test is Not effective for softmodems on HDA audio cards.
The test routine is:
sudo modprobe ungrab-winmodem
sudo modprobe slamr
followed by a readout from the dmesg buffer with:
dmesg | grep slamr
Among the few output lines, there is one like:
slamr: mc97 codec is SIL27
reporting in this example an ALSA driver supported, Agere Systems codec SIL27.
Conexant codecs have format CXTnm, nm a number. These modems are not ALSA driver supported.
Softmodems with all other codecs should be ALSA driver plus slmodemd supported.
