Hi and sorry! for this second mail but I thought the up-to-date scanmodem file would be more useful than the old one I sent yesterday. thanks for your help. -- _______________________________________________ Surf the Web in a faster, safer and easier way: Download Opera 9 at http://www.opera.com Powered by Outblaze

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-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.gcc4.0.tar.gz having a compiled slmodemd. Unpack under Linux with: $ tar zxf SLMODEMD.gcc4.0.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 Read Smartlink.txt and Modem/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance.

The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev The kernel was compiled with gcc version 4.0.3 and a compiler is not installed If compiling a modem driver proves to be necessary, one of the two procedures must be followed. If not yet on the Internet, put the Dapper install CD in the drive Open a terminal and therein: $ sudo apt-get install gcc-4.0 make Additionally the package linux-headers-2.6.15-23-386 must be downloaded. Go to http://packages.ubuntu.com/ and search for linux-headers-2.6.15-23-386 After downloading, it can be installed with: $ sudo dpkg -i linux-header*.deb Or alternatively if online through Ethernet do: $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install build-essential will do all the necessary installations mentioned above. In either installation case, set a symbolic link which will be expected later: $ sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gcc-4.0 /usr/bin/gcc After check with: $ ls -l /usr/bin/gcc* which should display: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 2006-07-09 21:53 /usr/bin/gcc -> /usr/bin/gcc-4.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 93584 2006-04-20 18:22 /usr/bin/gcc-4.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 16245 2006-04-20 18:13 /usr/bin/gccbug-4.0 Kernel-header resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready! If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing: gcc-4.0 make linux-headers-2.6.15-23-386 If a driver compilation files with message including some lack of some FileName.h (stdio.h for example. Some additional kernel-header files need installation to /usr/include. For Debian/Ubuntu related distributions, run the following command to display the needed package list: $ sudo apt-get -s install linux-kernel-devel While some of the files may be on the install CD, others may have to be found through http://packages.ubuntu.com For Ubunut feisty, additional packages required were: build-essential curl debhelper dpkg-dev g++ g++-4.1 gettext git-core gitk html2text intltool-debian kernel-package kernel-wedge libc6-dev libcurl3-gnutls libdigest-sha1-perl liberror-perl libstdc++6-4.1-dev linux-libc-dev po-debconf rcs tcl8.4 tk8.4 Checking pppd properties: -rwsr-xr-- 1 root dip 257720 2006-02-23 23:33 /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 auth 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 eth1 Which can interfere with Browser naviagation.
