Hi Marvin
I attach ModemData obtained with recent (2-4 days ago) scanmodem.
I'm using slmodemd untarred from SLMODEMD.gcc4.1.tar.gz
with the command
slmodemd -c ITALY --alsa hw:0,6
When the dialer starts I get the message:
error: period size 48 is not supported by playback (64).
My ALSA version, from /proc/asound/version, is
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.14rc1 (Tue Jan 09
09:56:17 2007 UTC).
My system is Ubuntu 7.04 32 bit.
Thanks alot for the help you can give.

Diagnostics and the Archive data DISAGREE The HDA card softmodem chip is 0x10573055
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.
Already loaded into the kernel is snd-hda-intel and audio drivers it depends on,
displayed by: lsmod | grep snd_hda_intel
