Luke, It is transparent that you deleted crucial information from your ModemData.txt, because when I run test mode: ./scanModem test 1002:4378 103c:30a4 the output includes: Primary PCI_id 1002:4378 Subsystem PCI_id 103c:30a4 Softmodem codec or Vendor from diagnostics: from Archives: CXT, a Conexant type, So just follow the directions which were output to get a hsfmodem package from www.linuxant.com. There is no alternative. While the Smartlink software can support the wvdialconf test, if does not have COMM proficiency for Conexant soft modem chips.

Hi I've been trying to get my modem working on Ubuntu Feisty *amd64* 7.04. Here's comprehensively everything I've done. user@home:~$ lspci | grep odem 00:14.6 Modem: ATI Technologies Inc ATI SB400 - AC'97 Modem Controller (rev 02) I read somewhere on the internet I'd need to use the smart link drivers, which were available here: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/ I did try some precompiled .debs from my distro's repository (which were named sl-modem-source and sl-modem-daemon) but they were outdated and anyway just would not work. Going to the above link, I noticed an 'Ubuntu' directory, and downloaded and tried the precompiled: slamr-2.6.20-16-generic.tar.gz (my kernel being: uname -r 2.6.20-16-generic ) However, I got the following error output when I tried to run ./setup in slamr: ================================================ Installing the Debian packages supporting autoloading dpkg: error processing sl-modem-daemon_2.9.10+2.9.9d+e-pre2-5build1_i386.deb (--install): package architecture (i386) does not match system (amd64) Errors were encountered while processing: sl-modem-daemon_2.9.10+2.9.9d+e-pre2-5build1_i386.deb Copying over newer files cp: cannot stat `sl-modem-daemon.modutils': No such file or directory Making folder /lib/modules/2.6.20-16-generic/extra Copying drivers to /lib/modules/2.6.20-16-generic/extra Checking driver install slamr.ko slusb.ko ungrab-winmodem.ko Finished installs.

I then tried to manually set up the modules myself by compiling slmodem-2.9.11-20070505 . I made the alterations specified here in order to get it working on my 64-bit system http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/archive-fourth/msg02594.html with the only exception being that I added " /usr/lib32/libasound.so " (note: lib32) to the list of slmodem dependencies as opposed to /usr/lib/libasound.so , as it appears that the 32-bit libasound.so library is installed into /usr/lib32 by the lib32asound2-dev .deb.
