Hi,
My soft modem configuration under linux OS:
Class 0780: 1106:3068 Communication controller: VIA Technologies,
Inc. Intel 537 [AC97 Modem]
Primary PCI_id 1106:3068
Subsystem PCI_id none
Softmodem codec or Vendor from diagnostics: AGR02, an AgereSystems
type. (CSP1040 AGR A3)
I already tried slmodem-2.9.11, agrsm-alpha and alsa via82xx driver,
NOTHING works.
Regards,
Tao Dai

It will enrich the Archive and help others!
-------------------------------------------
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
Packages providing alsa-base and alsa-utilities support should be installed,
for necessary support of ALSA modem drivers and slmodemd actions.
An ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) modem driver:
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.gcc3.4.tar.gz having a compiled slmodemd. Unpack
under Linux with:
$ tar zxf SLMODEMD.gcc3.4.tar.gz
and read instructions therein. But briefly, the modem is setup with
command:
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 diagnostic outputs for this softmodem section have their raw
information in
folders and text files under /proc/asound/ which you can browse. The
information
is from files:
/proc/asound/pcm
-------------------------------
01-00: VIA 82XX modem : VIA 82XX modem : playback 1 : capture 1
/proc/asound/modules
-------------------------------
/proc/asound/card1/codec97#0/mc97#1-1+regs
-------------------------------
0:7c = 4147 and 0:7e = 5202
which were translated from hexadecimal code into: AGR02
/proc/asound/card1/codec97#0/mc97#1-1

Extended modem ID: codec=1 LIN1

Writing Smartlink.txt
============ end Smartlink section =====================
Completed candidate modem analyses.
A UDEV device file system is not active.
The kernel was compiled with gcc version 3.4.0 and a compiler is not
installed
linux-headers-2.6.16 resources needed for compiling are not manifestly
ready!
If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
gcc-3.4 kernel-source-2.6.16
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

Read Modem/YourSystem.txt concerning other COMM channels: eth0
Which can interfere with Browser naviagation.
