Still studying the contents of files in /Modem. Meanwhile, figured it
wouldn't hurt to send you the file ModemData.txt.

--------------------------  System information ----------------------------
CPU=i686,  Ubuntu 7.04 
Linux version 2.6.20-16-generic (root@terranova) (gcc version 4.1.2 (Ubuntu 4.1.2-0ubuntu4)) #2 SMP Wed May 23 01:46:23 UTC 2007

ALSAversion 1.0.13
USB modem not detected by lsusb

Modem or host audio card candidates have firmware information:

 PCI slot	PCI ID		SubsystemID	Name
 ----------	---------	---------	--------------
 00:1b.0	8086:27d8	1179:ff10	Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G 

 Modem interrupt assignment and sharing:

8086:27d8 is a High Definition Audio card, possibly hosting a soft modem.
 For candidate modem in PCI bus:  00:1b.0
   Class 0403: 8086:27d8 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G
      Primary PCI_id  8086:27d8
    Subsystem PCI_id  1179:ff10 
    Softmodem codec or Vendor from diagnostics: 
                              from    Archives: 11c1, an AgereSystems type.
                        

 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-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:
 	sudo 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
Module                  Size  Used by
-------------------------------------
snd_hda_intel          21912  5 
snd_hda_codec         205056  1 snd_hda_intel
snd_pcm                79876  5 snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_pcm_oss

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
-------------------------------
00-06: Si3054 Modem : Si3054 Modem : playback 1 : capture 1
00-00: ALC861 Analog : ALC861 Analog : playback 1 : capture 2

	/proc/asound/modules
-------------------------------
 0 snd_hda_intel
and from the command:
	aplay -l | grep -i modem
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 6: Si3054 Modem [Si3054 Modem]

----------------end Softmodem section --------------

Writing Intel.txt
The modem is supported by the Smartlink slamr driver
plus the slmodemd helper utility.  Read the
Smartlink.txt and Modem/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance.

Writing Smartlink.txt
============ end Smartlink section =====================

 Completed candidate modem analyses.

 The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev

 Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.1.2
             and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.1.2

 Kernel-header resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!

 If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
	 linux-headers-2.6.20-16-generic


Checking pppd properties:
	-rwsr-xr-- 1 root dip 269224 2007-04-04 20:41 /usr/sbin/pppd

In case of an "error 17" "serial loopback" problem, see:
    http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/archive-sixth/msg02637.html

To enable dialout without Root permission do:
	$ su - root  (not for Ubuntu)
        sudo chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
or under Ubuntu related Linuxes
	sudo chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd

Checking settings of:	/etc/ppp/options
asyncmap 0
noauth
crtscts
lock
hide-password
modem
proxyarp
lcp-echo-interval 30
lcp-echo-failure 4
noipx

In case of a message like:
   Warning: Could not modify /etc/ppp/pap-secrets: Permission denied
see http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-sixth/msg04656.html

Read Modem/YourSystem.txt concerning other COMM channels: eth0
Which can interfere with Browser naviagation.

 Don't worry about the following, it is for the experts
 should trouble shooting be necessary.
