Please see attached files. The txt files are the outputs
of scanModem and the wvdial.log is the log of my problem.
Everything seems to be detected and loaded fine, but I
can't seem to get dialtone. I also attached a copy of
my wvdial.conf (edited for content). I have tried a
number of configurations, including adding
Init3=AT+MS=34
even though I have no idea what it does...it was suggested
that it would fix the No Carrier problem, but it didn't.
With my utmost appreciation,
ian

Complementation of snd-intel8x0m, slmodemd and a dialer utility
---------------------------------------------------------
THe ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture} modem driver snd-intel8x0m
provides ONLY a low level access to the hardware. The complementing HIGH
level support for ALSA modem drivers is through a Smartlink utility: slmodemd
An ALSA compatible and compiled slmodemd is in the package SLMODEMD-1.0.13.tar.gz
with download from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/
Unpack under Linux with:
$ tar zxf SLMODEMD-1.0.13.tar.gz
and read instructions therein.
Typically the driver snd-intel8x0m will be autoloaded on most Systems.
Then a Root permission command:
sudo slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY --alsa modem:1
will announce creation of ports
/dev/ttySL0 --> /dev/pts/N , N some number
The /dev/ttySL0 is a symbolic link to the true modem port /dev/pts/N
USA is the YOUR_COUNTRY default. See other Country alternatives by:
slmodemd --help
slmodemd --countrylist
Should there be a failure report like:
--------
ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:1305:(_snd_pcm_hw_open) Invalid value for card
error: alsa setup: cannot open playback device modem:1 No such device
error: cannot setup device modem:1
--------
First verify that packages providing ALSA audio support are installed.
Names vary with the Linux distribution but they are like "alsa-base"
and "alsa-utilities". In these are installed,
Next try as Root unloading and loading the driver:
sudo modprobe -r snd-intel8x0m
sudo modprobe snd-intel8x0m
Then retest the:
sudo slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY --alsa modem:1
slmodemd MUST be kept running throughout a dial out session.
Note that mere loading does NOT establish that snd-intel8x0m is the correct
driver, rather than hsfmodem drivers for Conexant chipset modems. But
snd-intel8x0m may still support readout of Subsystem information.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
A dialer utility such as wvdial (perferable) is still needed for dialout.
slmodemd MUST be kept running throughout a dialout session.
On some Systems, putting the slmodemd process in the background with an &:
sudo slmodemd -c USA --alsa modem:1 &
causes subsequent dialout failures.
Read Testing.txt for follow through details and Smartlink.txt
for additional information.
Interfererce with browser naviagation:
-------------------------------------
Other COMM channels can interfere with browsing under dialout.
Suspect channels set during your scanModem run were shown by: ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:08:74:9C:5B:62
UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1

TX packets:29 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
RX bytes:2636 (2.5 KiB) TX bytes:2636 (2.5 KiB)
A block with "lo" is an internal loopback test and harmless.
However, other COMM channels such as ethernet "eth0" will block browser function
through dialout connections. Domain Name Services (DNS) needed for browsing
will be blocked by an ineffective default usage of the eth0 assigned DNS.
If is wisest to disable bootup establishment of alternate channels in your Control Center.
Depending on your Linux distribution,
one of the following root/admin commands may alternatively be effective:
# ifdown eth0
# ifconfig eth0 down
# /etc/init.d/network stop
# /etc/init.d/networking stop
Be wary that some Systems will periodically try to re-establish internet.
So if browsing should suspiciously fail, recheck with
ifconfig
---------------------------- end COMM Channels --------------------------
Ubuntu is not yet providing pre-compiled drivers for WinModems
The Modem/DriverCompiling.txt is a MUST READ,
if you are not experienced in configuring kernel-source/
or get "unresolved symbols" upon driver insertion.
Most recent WinModem fixes are in: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/FAQ.html

[ 1613.180000] PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:00:1f.6 to 64
A modem device/card may be disabled at bootup, due to a variety of causes.
Look at the bootup diagnostics record dmesg.txt written out through:
$ dmesg > dmesg.txt
and try to garner some understanding from it. Possibilities therein are too
diverse to be automagically processed by scanModem. A line including the PCI
bus slot 00:1f.6 of your modem, and "disable" or "disabling" predicts problems,
though sometimes corrected later in the bootup. Similarly a line with "@"
in the interrupt (IRQ) for your 00:1f.6 slot is predictive of problems.
Possible corrections are:
0) Get unloading.gz from http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/packages/
This script unloads excess drivers which may be competing for resources.
Before trying to set up the modem, do:
$ gunzip unloading.gz
$ chmod +x unloading
$ su - root
# ./unloading
Or for Ubuntu related Distros
$ sudo ./unloading
1) Within the boot up BIOS, change from a Windows to a non-PNP/Other Operating System type.
Instructions for accessing BIOS are at:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/resources.html within: Additional Resourcces.
2a) Add an option "pci=routeirq" to the kernel boot up line.
Here is an example paragraph from /boot/grub/menu.lst :
title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.15-26-686
root (hd0,6)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-26-686 root=/dev/hda7 ro pci=routeirq
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-26-686
savedefault
2b) Same as above, but use "pollirq" instead of "pci=routeirq".
3) Within some BIOS setups, IRQ assignments can be changed.
4) On non-laptop systems, moving the modem card to another slot has helped.
5) Sometimes upgrading the kernel solves the problem.
6) Sometimes downgrading the kernel solves the problem.
7) Sometimes changing the Linux distribution solves the problem.

Support type needed or chipset: slmodemd
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:
sudo slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY --alsa modem:1
reporting dynamic creation of ports:
/dev/ttySL0 --> /dev/pts/N , with N some number

Modem usage is accomplished through drivers, sometimes some helper software,
and the core communication work horse "pppd". Usually it will be found at
/usr/sbin/pppd with permissions shown on my Ubuntu system by:
$ ls -l /usr/sbin/pppd
-rwsr-xr-- 1 root dip 257720 2006-07-05 08:58 /usr/sbin/pppd
The s means "sticky" meaning only one person can use pppd at a time.
As installed, it requires Root/Adm permissions to use pppd, directly or
through front end dialer tools. This is a security precaution common to
all COMM channels. But if you want to enable a simple User to dialout,
as is basically OK for a single user PC, do:
$ su - root
# chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
or for Ubuntu:
$ sudo chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
after which there will be seen:
$ ls -l /usr/sbin/pppd
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root dip 257720 2006-07-05 08:58 /usr/sbin/pppd
with the last x meaning any one can execute pppd, either directly or
much more commonly through a front end dialer such as wvdial of KPPP.
Configuration file for wvdial
-------------------------------
There is a very smart dialer utility "wvdial"
which can be used once basic modem setup is accomplished. A configuration file
is needed, which begins below with [Dialer defaults]. This file can be accessed
any where by:
$ wvdial --config Path_to/configuration_file
Most commonly the configuration file is saved as:
/etc/wvdial.conf
whereat it will serve all Users of the computer. If saved as:
/home/LoginName/.wvdial.rc
it will be found and used before /etc/wvdial.conf. Note that "." beginning
a file name means "do not show it", excess through usage of:
$ ls -a
Many local configuration files are thus "hidden" in your /home/LoginName/ folder
Some Linux installations have dialup tools like Kinternet, GnomePPP, and the
Redhat/Fedora Internet Connection Wizard which are front ends for wvdial and
will write /etc/wvdial.conf files. For this reason, it is advisable to test
your configuration file first, before copying it to /etc/wvdial.conf. Typically
a first test is run with:
$ sudo wvdialconf wvtest

Modem configuration written to wvtest.
ttySL0<Info>: Speed 460800; init "ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0"
------
will be included in a successful run, where in this case /dev/ttySL0
is the responding device port. The generated wvtest file is:
[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/ttySL0
Baud = 460800
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
ISDN = 0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
; Phone = <Target Phone Number>
; Username = <Your Login Name>
; Password = <Your Password>
which at a minimim must be edited to a form like:
[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/ttySL0
Baud = 115200
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
ISDN = 0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Phone = 3334445555
Username = Your_Login_Name
Password = Your_Password
Additional if your modem port is of the type /dev/pts/N , with N a number,
then there MUST be added a line:
Carrier Check = no
This requirement currently applies to dialups using the helper utility: slmodemd
together with slamr, slusb or ALSA modem drivers, OR the " " : martian_helper
used with the martian_dev for Lucent/Agere modems with DSP chipsets.
Then a test dialput can be done with:
$ sudo wvdial --config wvtest
There are some Systems for which the wvdialcon test will stall at rfcomm ports.
This is a wvdialconf bug and can be bypassed by just using wvdial with a trial
wvtest, but you need to specify the port appropriate to your modem.
If the configuration file below, lines beginning with # are comments.
Removing a # will activate a line with wvdial instructions appropriate to
special circumstances.
[Dialer defaults]
# Lines begining with # are comments.
# wvdial will look for this file at /etc/wvdial.conf or /home/LoginName/.wvdial.rc
# Redhat/Fedora have an Internet Connection Wizard in the popup menus
# ICW will write a two part /etc/wvdial.conf supporting multiple modem usage.
