Most of the COMM smarts is provided by the software, as implemented on the CPU mostly. Under Microsoft, it is Motorola software, Motorla however provides almost no Linux support. Fortunately under Linux, ALSA drivers plus Sasha Kharposky's slmodemd (initially developed for Smartlink) are supporting a diverse array of soft modems, regardless of the chipset provider. Since your modem did work for a while under Linux, there is something not reproducible under Linux which we do not understand. A procedure to try under these circumstances is to simplify your System, by shutting down all functions non-essential for COMM, and trying the dialout afterward. So detach any auxilliary hardware. Then display your loaded modules with: $ lsmod from the top of the list down try unloading drivers with: $ modprobe DriverName After unloading all you can, try a dialout. MarvS
