o0o0o, 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: sudo slmodemd -c ITALY --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. Read the included wvdial.txt file carefully, about modifications of the /etc/wvdial.conf file which are often needed in Italy. Do: $ sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-modem and change the lines: # blacklist snd-atiixp-modem # blacklist snd-via82xx-modem to blacklist snd-atiixp-modem blacklist snd-via82xx-modem --- as these driver are useless on your System If you leave the sl-modem-daemon package installed, you need to: $ sudo gedit /etc/default/sl-modem-daemon and change the lines SLMODEMD_DEVICE=auto SLMODEMD_COUNTRY=USA to SLMODEMD_DEVICE=auto SLMODEMD_COUNTRY=ITALY ALternatively you can uninstall the sl-modem-daemon package and manually do the command: $ sudo slmodemd -c ITALY --alsa modem:1 which it automates on bootup MarvS scanModem maintainer On Nov 10, 2007 8:59 AM, o0o0o@xxxxxx <o0o0o@xxxxxx> wrote: > Only plain text email is forwarded by the Discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx List Server, > as HTML can contain viruses.
