Hi all,
I'm sending attached the file 'ModemData.txt', as requested by it.
(Note: the suggested subject "SomeName, ..." is not clear, my name ?, my
machine name?, the modem name ?;)
This is an Acer TravelMate 8210-6597 (Intel Core 2 Duo T7200 2 GHz, 2GiB
ram).
I've tried the package "slmodem-alsa-2.9.11-1.lvn5" (for FC5, I know,
but it loaded anyway), the "SLMODEMD.gcc4.1.tar.gz" (as suggested by
"ModemData.txt" and "YourSystem.txt" files) and, finally, the
"slmodem-2.9.11-20070427.tar.gz". All produced the same result.
The daemon 'slmodemd' loaded with rhe following setup :
====================8<------ cut here --------------------------
#/etc/sysconfig/slmodemd
#modem device, default /dev/slamr0,
#for USB take /dev/slusb0 for example
#SLMODEMD_DEVICE=/dev/slamr0
#for Alsa support with older software should be "hw:n"
#for ATI chipset "modem:n" is mandatory
SLMODEMD_DEVICE="hw:0,6"
#Your country, try "slmodemd --countrylist"
SLMODEMD_COUNTRY=BRAZIL
#config Alsa support
SLMODEMD_OPTS="--alsa"
#config Alsa support debug use (e.g.) interactively :
#slmodemd -c BRAZIL --alsa --debug=2 --log hw:0,6
====================8<------ cut here --------------------------
I'm using the 'minicom' to test the modem, and the results were the
same as those with 'wvdial'. The modem answers to ATI[0-7] giving an
error for ATI8 :

about the format (or contents) of some information.

-------------------------------------------
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
