I leave to Joern to explain you the control of on hook/off hook under ALSA.
With one remark which Joern may miss if he does not use KDE: alsaconf
manages the configuration, alsactl among others allows to keep a current
configuration for boot time. KDE, "very intelligently" resets the hook
status when the user logs on. Remember that, if you use KDE, after
reading Joern again.
About X3: nothing to do with on/off hook. X3 instructs the modem not to
wait for a dial tone. This is not like raising the handset when you use
a normal voice phone: it instructs the modem to start dialing without
waiting for a dial tone - something which of course you would not do
with your phone.

Hi Fernando,
Hi Joern,
this type of modem was working some time ago with alsa driver 1.0.12. If
you can downgrade your alsa driver to this version, it will work. At
Do you mean alsa-libs ? If so, I gave it a try and didn't help. :(
least mine is working if I toggle the Off-hook switch while dialing.
What does "toggle the Off-hook switch" means ? I'm not an english
language speaker nor a modem/telefone expert. :) Do you mean the use of
"X3" in dial command ?
Thank you for your attention.
