but when I asked if you did not make a typing error, you answer here: > No it is not a typo, he needs SLMODEMD.gcc4.2.tar.gz which does not exist in > http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/ > scanModem recommends the package above which does not exist, I simply pointed out what scanModem recommended, I did then look for the file, and it was not there. I am sorry for causing trouble, but then I tried to fix my mistake by asking the OP Manuel Lemos to compile the slmodem-2.9.11-20070813 with ALSA support in order to connect, he has tried that out, but he has gotten mixed results: >From a previous post by Manuel \begin{QUOTE} I sent him this >> You can compile slmodem-2.9.11-20070813 with ALSA >> support >> from within slmodem-2.9.11-20070813 directory >> $ cd modem >> $ make SUPPORT_ALSA=1 Ok, I did that and started the "modem" with: /usr/sbin/slmodemd --alsa hw:0 It showed this message symbolic link `/dev/ttySL0' -> `/dev/pts/1' created. modem `hw:0' created. TTY is `/dev/pts/1' followed by an infinite number of messages like this: error: cannot set channels for playback: Invalid argument \end{QUOTE} Marv came in also trying to help and asked Manuel to do \begin{QUOTE} Manuel In your initial report there was advised: slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY --alsa hw:0,6 while you have been testing the host audio card by slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY --alsa hw:0 Audio cards are competent to talk with wvdialconf. But they of course lack the competence to proceed into a dialout. So try slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY --alsa hw:0,6 \end{QUOTE} Manuel then forwarded the following: \begin{QUOTE} Somethings changes but it is not working yet. Now it is picking /dev/pts/3. I ran wvdial conf again and the errors appear as follows: --> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.56 (abuild@balli) --> Cannot get information for serial port. --> Initializing modem. --> Sending: ATZ ATZ OK --> Sending: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 OK --> Modem initialized. --> Idle Seconds = 300, disabling automatic reconnect. --> Sending: ATDT30095525 --> Waiting for carrier. error: period size 48 is not supported by playback (64). ATDT30095525 NO CARRIER ERROR --> No Carrier! Trying again. --> Sending: ATDT30095525 --> Waiting for carrier. error: period size 48 is not supported by playback (64). \end{QUOTE} As of this morning, I have sent this to the list and to Manuel \begin{QUOTE} First try to apply patch to slmodem-2.9.11-20070813.tar.gz and compile with alsa support or try to http://helllabs.org/patch/20070710_slmodem/slmodem-2.9.11-alsa-period-size.patch if it fails recompile alsa + alsa-libs and try to recompile slmodemd again and hopefully this time you will be successful :) ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/alsa-driver-1.0.15.tar.bz2 ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/lib/alsa-lib-1.0.15.tar.bz2 Also the following is also troublesome take a careful look at this and do what it is asking you to do.

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. Regards, Antonio \end{QUOTE} Jacques, please do not take it personal, I have just replied in an attempt to help Manuel out. It was not a typo, it was that scanModem recommends SLMODEMD.gcc4.2.tar.gz and it does not exist in http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/ directory. And I did not know that and it caught me off guard since Manuel replied and I had to check it out for myself and confirm his findings. I also went back and asked Marv for help in fixing my mistakes and recommendations. Manuel was using minicom and I asked him to please use wvdial in order to troubleshoot his connection and fix his troubles. Like most people subscribing to the discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx list, I respect you, Marv, Sasha, et, all in your quest to help newbies get connected to the net using Linux. Please forgive me if I sounded offensive in my replies back to the list.
