Hello
My country is most often Mexico, but I travel a lot to other countries...
I tried reading the scanModem output files, but its pretty heavy. Its
hard to separate out the suggested actions from the general information.
If I can get some advice through these means I would be so grateful.
Thanks in advance, from a Linux Newbie.
Eric

CPU=i686, Fedora release 7 (Moonshine)
Kernel
Linux version 2.6.22.9-91.fc7 (kojibuilder@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) (gcc version 4.1.2 20070502 (Red Hat 4.1.2-12)) #1 SMP Thu Sep 27 23:10:59 EDT 2007
scanModem update of: 20071030
There are no blacklisted modem drivers in /etc/modprobe* files
The Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) packages providing audio support on your System,
also includes drivers for some modems. Diagnostics are under the /proc/asound/ folders.
For modems using the snd-hda-intel audio+modem driver, upgrades to
a new ALSA version are sometimes necessary to achieve function.
See for example:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-seventh/msg02144.html.
Audio cards with the ALC883 chipset may require an upgrade to ALSA version 1.0.15 for modem support, see
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-seventh/msg02577.html
Copying ALSA diagnostics to Modem/ALSAroot.tgz
ALSAversion = 1.0.14

The PCI slot 00:1e.3 of the modem card may be disabled early in
a bootup process, but then enabled later. If modem drivers load
but the modem is not responsive, read Bootup.txt about possible fixes.
Send dmesg.txt along with ModemData.txt to discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
if help is needed.

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
An ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) modem driver: snd-intel8x0m
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.gcc4.1.tar.gz having a compiled slmodemd. Unpack under Linux with:
$ tar zxf SLMODEMD.gcc4.1.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.
Already loaded into the kernel is snd-intel8x0m and audio drivers it depends on,

The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
The kernel was compiled with gcc version 4.1.2 and a compiler is not installed
linux-headers-2.6.22.9-91.fc7 resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!
If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
gcc-4.1 kernel-source-2.6.22.9-91.fc7
If a driver compilation fails, with message including some lack of some FileName.h (stdio.h for example), then
Some additional kernel-header files need installation to /usr/include. The minimal additional packages are libc6-dev
and any of its dependents, under Ubuntu linux-libc-dev
If an alternate ethernet connection is available,
$ apt-get update
$ apt-get -s install linux-kernel-devel
will install needed pacakage
For Debian/Ubuntu related distributions, run the following command to display the needed package list:
Otherwise packages have to be found through http://packages.ubuntu.com
Once downloaded and transferred into a Linux partition,
they can be installed alltogether with:
$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb
