Tim,
So I looked at your earlier mails to see what wvdial had reported
"before".
I have to ask you a question because many people fall in that trap.
Do you have a line
Carrier Check = no
in your file wvdial.conf ?
If not, add it and try again.
If you already have it, use the alsa mixer to switch the Modem on/off
hook status.
Finally, if you are using KDE, are you aware that it resets ALSA to
being off when you login?

did you take a look at the files in /proc/asound?
There should be a directory called card0. Inside this directory there
should be two files named "codec#0" and "codec#1". Normally "codec#1" is
the modem codec. Do a `cat codec#1`.
# find /proc/asound/card0 -iname "codec*"

1-1/0: Silicon Laboratory Si3036,8 rev 2
Extended modem ID: codec=1 LIN1
Modem status : GPIO MREF ADC1 DAC1 PRE(ADC2) PRF(DAC2) PRG(HADC) PRH(HDAC)
Line1 rate : 8000Hz
If this seems to be the modem
(identified by Id), then look at the directories named pcmXY, where X is
the device number and Y is either c (capture) or p (playback). Important
is the device number.
Normally 0 is the audio device, and the modem is 1. But it can be any
other number also. Look in one of the directories with the higher number
at the file named "info". It should clearly point out whether its the
audio or the modem device.
Can't say it does (for me at least), but playback only wouldn't make too
much sense, right?
# cat /proc/asound/card0/pcm1p/info

If you found the modem device, restart
slmodemd with hw:0,X. Where X is the number from the pcmXY directory.
This tells slmodemd, which sub device to use.
# sudo ./SLMODEMD-1.0.13/slmodemd -d2 -c GERMANY --alsa hw:0,1

wvdial fails like before.
Is it relevant that slamr identifies a SiS630 card
# dmesg |grep slamr
[ 3356.143884] slamr: module license 'Smart Link Ltd.' taints kernel.

but apart from that SiS630 is never mentioned?
Thanks for your reply,
Tim.
