Hello!
I'm running freshly installed Ubuntu 7.04 (fiesty fawn) on Toshiba
L30-134 laptop.
Trying to get internal modem working... without success yet.
According to 'scanmodem' results my laptop's modem is one of
HDA-soundcard built-in modems.
So, I installed slmodemd, set SLMODEMD_DEVICE to hw:0,6 (other values
were tested, but errors on earlier stages of slmodemd execution occurs)
and started sl-modem-daemon .
Now I see /dev/ttySL0 device and it is usable via "minicom".
But wvdial failed to establish connection.
...
--> Modem initialized.
--> Sending: ATDPXXX
--> Waiting for carrier.
ATDPXXX
NO CARRIER
ERROR
...
If I run slmodemd manually from terminal following error is viewable:
error: period size 48 is not supported by playback (64).
And here I get stuck - googling for such error message gives no results.
Only plain text email is forwarded by the DISCUSS@xxxxxxxxxxxxx List Server.
Do use the following as the email Subject Line:
SomeName, YourCountry Ubuntu 7.04 kernel 2.6.20-15-generic
This will alert cogent experts, and distinguish cases in the Archives.
YourCountry will enable Country Code guidance.

The PCI slot 00:14.2 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

ALSAversion 1.0.13
1002:437b is a High Definition Audio card, possibly hosting a soft modem.
The VendorID 0x11c11040 softmodem chip is in principle supported by the snd-hda-intel driver
included within the ALSA audio+modem driver set. However recognition of 0x11c11040 first begins with ALSA version 1.0.14rc2. There are instructions for upgrading snd-hda-intel and its
dependent driver set at http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/archive-seventh/msg00282.html
The ? in the device designation in hw:0,? will be manifest after the driver update.
Typically ? is in the range of 0-6 .
There may be novel modem chipset information within the /proc/asound/
files. They have been copied and packed into a file: Modem/11c1.tgz
Please send 11c1.tgz to the scanModem maintainer: Marvin.Stodolsky@xxxxxxxxx
HDAmodemChip=0x11c11040
For candidate modem in PCI bus: 00:14.2
Class 0403: 1002:437b Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SB450 HDA Audio
Primary PCI_id 1002:437b
Subsystem PCI_id 1179:ff31
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:
sudo 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.
