Hi Once i tried to dial with the slmodemd using the command mentioned i get an error saying: error: period size 48 is not supported by playback (64). What does this mean and what can i do to fix it? Thanks Blake On 4/21/07, Antonio Olivares <olivares14031@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:

Are you able to point me out in the right direction for a modem driver that will be compatible? I am new to linux so please excuse my inexperience.
