Pablo,
If not present now, add to /etc/wvdial.conf a line:
Carrier Check = no
which is necessary with usage of /dev/pts/N ports
Setup the modem with country specified by:
# slmodemd -c BRAZIL --alsa hw:0,6
Then try a a dialout and report back.
However for the an AgereSystems softmodem chip 0x11c11040
a success is yet to be achieved .A Bug Report has been filed with ALSA
Please do:
$ dmesg > dmesg.txt
and send us the dmesg.txt

Hi all,
I'm trying to make this modem work on a notebook. On window$ its probed
as Agere Modem.
I have compiled alsa 1.0.14rc3 drivers, loaded the modules and the
ModemData.txt generated from scanModem is attached.
The problem is:
when I try to connect using kppp I get: NO CARRIER.
I have already tried set kppp to not wait for signal, but I've got the
same error.
sorry for my english,
can someone help? (I've tried the forums, google, a lot of things, but
have no success with this)
thanks!

Softmodem codec or Vendor from diagnostics: 11c1, an AgereSystems type.
from Archives: 11c1, an AgereSystems type.
The HDA card softmodem chip is 0x11c11040
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.
Already loaded into the kernel is snd-hda-intel and audio drivers it depends on,
displayed by: lsmod | grep snd_hda_intel
