I got the patch and applied it having one of those cases where the
period 48 and it does fix the period isssues. As far as a dialout, it
does not work for me.

Note: This is the same LSI modem which has no support, but also got
period size error.
Here's part of the chipset informatiion.. This is the one which had no
support and appears not to still not have any.
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:ff01 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G
Modem interrupt assignment and sharing:
21: 6571 0 IO-APIC-fasteoi HDA Intel
--- Bootup diagnositcs for card in PCI slot 00:1b.0 ----
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:1b.0[A] -> GSI 22 (level, low) -> IRQ 21
PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:00:1b.0 to 64
=== Finished modem firmware and bootup diagnostics section. ===
=== Next deducing cogent software ===
ALSAversion 1.0.14rc2
8086:27d8 is a High Definition Audio card, possibly hosting a soft modem.
There may be novel modem chipset information within the /proc/asound/
files. They have been copied and packed into a file: Modem/11c1.tgz
Please send 11c1.tgz to the scanModem maintainer: Marvin.Stodolsky@xxxxxxxxx
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:ff01
Softmodem codec or Vendor from diagnostics: 11c1, an AgereSystems type.
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.gcc4.1.tar.gz having a compiled slmodemd. Unpack
under Linux with:
$ tar zxf SLMODEMD.gcc4.1.tar.gz
and read instructions therein. But briefly, the modem is setup with command:
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.
I sent the scanModem using slax and should be in the threads with name
scanModem USA Slax 2.6.20
