Cleve, The Listserver only forwards plain text email. Likely your earlier messages were sent in HTML format and were rejected: The modem on HDAUDIO/Func_02&VEN_1057&Dev_3057&SUBSYS_0001000&REV_1001 is supported. Under Knoppix just do: $ cat /proc/asound/pcm to display the hardware (hw) address of the modem. Most likely it will be 0,6. In this case your setup command will be: $ ./slmodem -c USA --alsa hw:0,6 >From http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/ one of the SLMODEMD.gcc??.tar.gz best matching the output of $ gcc --version like you need the 4.0 or 4.1 variant, the 3rd place doesn't matter Copy the package into your Knoppix home/ folder. Therein unpack $ tar zxf SLMODEMD*.tar.gz cd into the unpacked folder and Browse around. Low level modem support is included in snd-hda-intel which should have autoloaded. But most of the COMM function is provided by slmodemd. Do $ su root (or similar) # ./slmodem -c USA --alsa hw:0,6 should announce port creation. Leave slmodmed running . Open another console # su root # wvdialconf cbconf will write a default config file cbtest if all is OK. # gedit cbconf delete the ; and replace the <xxxx> placeholders with your dialout info. Add a line: Carrier Check = no and Save. Copy the cbconf to a USB stick, or whatever you are using for file transfer. Then in principle, you should be able to dialout with: # wvdial --config cbconf HOWEVER. If your IP is aol.com you have additional problems. http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTutorialAOL.html MarvS scanModem maintainer On 10/5/07, Cleve Baker, Jr. <clvbk@xxxxxxx> wrote: > > The message below was sent out a couple of weeks ago.
