Re: This is a NEW softmodem case! Ian, UK, Ubuntu 7.04 kernel 2.6.20-15-generic

IAN

All looks OK for support through
------------------------------------
 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 SLM*.tar.gz
 and read instructions in the new folder SLMODEMD.1.0.13
 But briefly, the modem is setup with command:
       sudo slmodemd -c UK --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.
-------------------
Report back presently.
The  INT65 is one of the rarer codecs.
