Indra,

Package       kernel-source-2.6.17-13mdv       must be installed to
support compiling.  Note that local Linux experts can be found through
http://www.linux.org/groups/index.html

Then follow the instructions in the Smartlink.txt
for installation and utilization of ungrab-winmodem and slamr drivers.

 == Checking PCI IDs through modem chip suppliers ==

 SmartLink at http://www.smlink.com/ owns vendor IDs 163c, 2000, 2003, and 2004
 The official download site is:  http://www.smlink.com/main/index1.php?ln=en&main_id=40
 But a more recent code and a much broader license for other chipset support,
 can be downloaded from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/
 Though not always needed, download the files:
   slmodem-CurrentVersion.tar.gz - provides the most general code package.
   SLMODEMD.gcc4 - provides a compiled slmodemd
   ungrab-winmodem.tar.gz  -  may be needed for usage with slamr.
 Details on their usage are in Slmodem.txt, Slmodem-ALSA.txt and
 http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/slmodem-serial.html

There is an active UDEV file system, creating device nodes in volatile RAM.
For SmartLink modems using the slamr.ko or slusb.ko drivers an /etc/init.d/ script
will be necessary to create /dev/slamr0 or /dev/slusb0 ports, or manually by:
#  mknod -m 600 /dev/slamr0 c 242 0
#  mknod -m 600 /dev/slusb0 c 243 0
upon each bootup.

For information on modem port creation under the UDEV device file system see:
   http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/archive-fourth/msg03299.html  for Conexnant modems

Kernel-header resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!
If compressed resources are present, expand and then configure them following DriverCompiling.txt
They may have to be installed.
Within your Linux distributions' installation CD or online resource (and mirrows), search for :

Within the output Modem/ folder, read CompilingDrivers.txt for details.


 Wvdial is a dialout utility very useful for modem testing.  If not encluded on
 your installation media, check your distrbutions on line software repository.
 An example is:  http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/archive-fifth/msg01480.html

 A /dev/modem symbolic link is not set.

The following information blocks just query some ppp support items.

====================================================
   grep -rs ppp /etc/modprobe.*
-------------------------------------

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

  The following ppp related modules are likely unpacked during loading.
  If not they  should be unpacked by root with:
# gunzip PathTo/ModuleName.ko.gz
/boot/config
/boot/config-2.6.17-13mdv
/lib/modules/2.6.17-13mdv/kernel/drivers/net/bsd_comp.ko.gz
/lib/modules/2.6.17-13mdv/kernel/drivers/net/ppp_async.ko.gz
/lib/modules/2.6.17-13mdv/kernel/drivers/net/ppp_generic.ko.gz
/lib/modules/2.6.17-13mdv/kernel/drivers/net/slhc.ko.gz
/lib/modules/2.6.17-13mdv/kernel/drivers/net/ppp_deflate.ko.gz
/lib/modules/2.6.17-13mdv/kernel/lib/zlib_deflate/zlib_deflate.ko.gz

 On most Systems, unpacking will driven by installing the wvdial.rpm
 and/or the package providing the KPPP graphical dialing interface.

 COMM services are not active
Be sure to read the section about ppp related modules and aliases in Modem/YourSystem.txt

  pppd version 2.4.2 may not be fully compatible with 2.6.8 kernel releases.
  If an initial CONNECT is achieved without PPP being subsequently established,
  drop back to a 2.4.1 version.  This has worked for PCTEL AMR modem users,
  supported by the http://www.smlink.com  slmodem software.
  Check pppd version with:
    pppd --version
  See  http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/archive-fourth/msg03167.html


If the Mandrake installation disks do not include the dialer utility wvdial.rpm,
then get instructions from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/archive-fifth/msg01480.html
