Hi Marvin, Antonio,
Thanks a lot! Forget to mention about it, Actually our modem is not
SV92PP which is PCI 2.3 compliant device.
It is a SV92A3 modem which is HDA & AC-97 compliant device. according to
the agere_product_line_card.pdf(page 14)..
and CSP1040 line codec only has 20 pins.
Modem - Soft SV92A3 / SV92A35
Digital interface to HDA &
AC-97 buses in notebook
computers.
HDA & AC-97 compliant device. It
provides a low-cost MDC 1.5 form
factor soft modem solution when
used with the CSP1040 line codec.
Modem - Soft SV92PP
Digital interface to PCI bus
for desktop computers.
PCI 2.3 compliant device. It
provides a low-cost PCI compliant
soft modem when used with the
CSP1040 line codec.
I tried SLModemd.gcc3.tar.gz. It still doesn't work.
Please see the log:

Tao,
Use the SLMODEMD.gcc3.tar.gz
it includes the SLMODEMD.gcc3.4.tar.gz case
The snd-via82xx- modem driver is active on your System.
But it mostly provides contact with the modem hardware.
It is the complementary slmodemd, which has the brains for handling COMM
What is shown by:
$ lspci -s 00:11.6 -nv
It would be good to have the Subsystem info, if displayed
Send further help queries to the LIST, not directly to me

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.
Report back if you have troubles/questions.

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.

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.

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
