in principle this should be supported by a combination of the
snd-hda-intel driver usually installed automatically plus the
slmodemd.
Download from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/
the package SLMODEMD-1.0.13.tar.gz having a compiled slmodemd. Unpack
under Linux with:
$ tar zxf SLMODEMD-1.0.13.tar.gz
and read instructions therein.
The default Guess in my scanModem diagnostic is wrong in this case.
snd-intel8x0m in NOT competent for HDA card hosted modems.
Brieftly, the modem is usually setup with command:
slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY --alsa hw:0,N
reporting dynamic creation of ports:
/dev/ttySL0 --> /dev/pts/N , with N some number
N is usually 1 or 6.
But the failure to acquire any diagnostic infor predicts problems in your case.
What is the ouput of:
$ aplay --version.
Please do:
$ su - root
# cp -a /proc/asound DK
pack this copy
# tar cfz DK.tgz DK/
and send me the DK.tgz

I get confused about using which driver.
I am using ASUS F3Jp Laptop.
in Windows it uses Motorolla SM56 driver.
In linux, I couldn't find any "Motorolla" string.
How can I use modem of this laptop? Is there any chance?
Thank you for support!

Softmodem codec or Vendor from diagnostics:
from Archives:
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:
Support can likely be achieved through two mutually exclusive alternatives:
1) An ALSA modem driver plus slmodemd. Read Smartlink.txt for details, and
to test get the package SLMODEMD-1.0.13.tar.gz from:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/
2) The hsfmodem software for Conexant chipset modems: Read Conexant.txt
An ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) modem driver: snd-intel8x0m
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-1.0.13.tar.gz having a compiled slmodemd. Unpack under Linux with:
$ tar zxf SLMODEMD-1.0.13.tar.gz
and read instructions therein. But briefly, the modem is setup with command:
slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY --alsa modem:1
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.
The diagnostic outputs for this softmodem section have their raw information in
folders and text files under /proc/asound/ which you can browse. The information
is from files:
/proc/asound/pcm
