Dear Marvin,
thank you for getting back to me. I've done everything as instructed. The
modem was indeed founded as you predicted. When I launch wvdial, I get the
following output:
ATDT822539222
NO CARRIER
ERROR
--> No Carrier! Trying again.
--> Sending: ATDT822539222
--> Waiting for carrier.
This can't be because of the no signal in phone line connected to my
notebook, as I send this message by dialouting from Windows on the same
notebook, same modem, same provider and phone line.
This block is repeated endlessly (and very quickly - the thing I wouldn't
expect from dialup because it needs times to perform each step pf dialout
process), until I CTRL+C it, and I must notice that no signs from moded
was heard. The terminal tab where slmodemd was left running was full with
'error: cannot setup hw params for playback: Invalid argument' strings.
This leads me to conclusion that slmodemd wasn't configured properly, but
I would prefer to left decision making to experts like you. Any thoughts
on this are much appreciated.
I would like to once again thank you for your support, Marvin.

Andrey,
After
:~$ sudo slmodemd -c RUSSIA --alsa hw:0,6
slmodemd must be left running. Open a new TAB on the console or a new
console and run
$ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
which should report finding the modem through /dev/ttySL0
Edit in your personal information with:
$ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
replacing the <xxx> placeholders and removing the leading ; on
those lines.
Add a line:
Carrier Check = no
After saving, trial a dialout with
$ sudo wdial.
Only close slmodemd after completion of dialout session, with
Ctrl-C
in its own console window.

Dear Marvin,
thank you for sending me instructions and for offering possibility to
get
support.
I followed all instructions carefully:
1. Downloaded recommended package.
2. Unpacked it.
3. Changed mode for slmodemd (chmod a+x slmodemd)
4. Copied file to sbin/ directory (sudo cp slmodemd /usr/sbin/)
5. Launched daemon. The output was:
dryu@joybook:~$ sudo slmodemd -c RUSSIA --alsa hw:0,6
SmartLink Soft Modem: version 2.9.11 Aug 6 2007 22:02:27
symbolic link `/dev/ttySL0' -> `/dev/pts/1' created.
modem `hw:0,6' created. TTY is `/dev/pts/1'
Use `/dev/ttySL0' as modem device, Ctrl+C for termination.
Assuming that modem configuration is finished, I tried to setup dialup
connection using pppconfig, by supplying it with new modem device.
Autodetection of modem device returned no results, so I typed modem port
manually: /dev/ttySL0 and saved settings for my dialup connection.
Unfortunately, when launching my connection, I get the following output
in
terminal window where slmodemd was executed:
error: cannot setup hw params for playback: Invalid argument
Modem didn't show signs of life also.
Is it possible to test my modem to make sure it is properly configured
after slmodemd was launched? Anyway, I would like to express you my
appreciation for possibility to get support for Linux newbies - thank
you
very much.
