Hi
Am attaching the modemdata.txt and the wvdial.txt.
have installed all the packages that were required. Including the free
version of the hsfmodem driver. Given below
hsfmodem_7.68.00.04full_k2.6.20_16_generic_ubuntu_i386.deb.zip
After that , as per the wvdial text i edited my wvdial text and included
the following lines:
[Dialer Defaults]
# added on 5dec to try hfs modem
Modem = /dev/ttySL0
Baud = 115200
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
ISDN = 0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Phone = 172233
Username = rramnarayan
Password = XXXXXXXXX
however i get this error message when trying wvdial
ram@ram-laptop:~$ sudo wvdial
--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.56
--> Cannot open /dev/ttySL0: No such file or directory
--> Cannot open /dev/ttySL0: No such file or directory
--> Cannot open /dev/ttySL0: No such file or directory
so i replaced the line
Modem = /dev/ttySL0
to
Modem = /dev.ttySHSF0
*AND the wvdial works* WOW
*BUT* the phone lines here are in pulse mode and the defalu dialing is
in tone mode.
What line do i add to change from Tone to Pulse in wvdial.conf (or any
other place)
Am close to getting my modem to work on Linux and am *very excited*
will much appreciate you input on this.
regards
ram

The Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) packages providing audio support on your System,
also includes drivers for some modems. High Definition Audio (HDA) cards can themselves host
a softmodem chipset, with both audio+modem supported by a snd-hda-intel driver.
The ALSA diagnostics are written during bootup to /proc/asound/ folders.
The modem codec file for the the HDA card is: /proc/asound/card0/codec#1
--------------------------------------------------------
Codec: Conexant HSF
Address: 1
Vendor Id: 0x14f12bfa
Subsystem Id: 0x17aa201b
Revision Id: 0x90000
The audio card hosts a softmodem chip with Vendor ID: 0x14f12bfa
14f1 is the Conexant Vendor ID, and 0x0x14f12bfa a softmodem chipset.

The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.1.2
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.1.2
Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
make utility - /usr/bin/make
Compiler version 4.1
linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.20-16-generic/build
However some compilations and executable functions may need additional files,
in the FileNames.h (so called kernel "h"eaders) collection installed in /usr/include/ .
For martian_modem, additional required packages are libc6-dev (and for Debian/Ubuntu, linux-libc-dev). The also required headers of package libc6 are commonly installed by default.
Compressed files at: /usr/src/cdfs.tar.bz2
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

To enable dialout without Root permission do:

Modem usage is accomplished through drivers, sometimes some helper software,
and the core communication work horse "pppd". Usually it will be found at
/usr/sbin/pppd with permissions shown on my Ubuntu system by:
$ ls -l /usr/sbin/pppd
-rwsr-xr-- 1 root dip 257720 2006-07-05 08:58 /usr/sbin/pppd
The s means "sticky" meaning only one person can use pppd at a time.
As installed, it requires Root/Adm permissions to use pppd, directly or
through front end dialer tools. This is a security precaution common to
all COMM channels. But if you want to enable a simple User to dialout,
as is basically OK for a single user PC, do:
$ su - root
# chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
or for Ubuntu:
$ sudo chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
after which there will be seen:
$ ls -l /usr/sbin/pppd
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root dip 257720 2006-07-05 08:58 /usr/sbin/pppd
with the last x meaning any one can execute pppd, either directly or
much more commonly through a front end dialer such as wvdial of KPPP.
Configuration file for wvdial
-------------------------------
There is a very smart dialer utility "wvdial"
which can be used once basic modem setup is accomplished. A configuration file
is needed, which begins below with [Dialer defaults]. This file can be accessed
any where by:
$ wvdial --config Path_to/configuration_file
Most commonly the configuration file is saved as:
/etc/wvdial.conf
whereat it will serve all Users of the computer. If saved as:
/home/LoginName/.wvdial.rc
it will be found and used before /etc/wvdial.conf. Note that "." beginning
a file name means "do not show it", excess through usage of:
$ ls -a
Many local configuration files are thus "hidden" in your /home/LoginName/ folder
Some Linux installations have dialup tools like Kinternet, GnomePPP, and the
Redhat/Fedora Internet Connection Wizard which are front ends for wvdial and
will write /etc/wvdial.conf files. For this reason, it is advisable to test
your configuration file first, before copying it to /etc/wvdial.conf. Typically
a first test is run with:
$ sudo wvdialconf wvtest
WvModem<*1>: Cannot get information for serial port.
ttySL0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- OK
ttySL0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 Z -- OK

Modem configuration written to wvtest.
ttySL0<Info>: Speed 460800; init "ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0"
------
will be included in a successful run, where in this case /dev/ttySL0
is the responding device port. The generated wvtest file is:
[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/ttySL0
Baud = 460800
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
ISDN = 0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
; Phone = <Target Phone Number>
; Username = <Your Login Name>
; Password = <Your Password>
which at a minimim must be edited to a form like:
[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/ttySL0
Baud = 115200
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
ISDN = 0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Phone = 3334445555
Username = Your_Login_Name
Password = Your_Password
Additional if your modem port is of the type /dev/pts/N , with N a number,
then there MUST be added a line:
Carrier Check = no
This requirement currently applies to dialups using the helper utility: slmodemd
together with slamr, slusb or ALSA modem drivers, OR the " " : martian_helper
used with the martian_dev for Lucent/Agere modems with DSP chipsets.
Then a test dialput can be done with:
$ sudo wvdial --config wvtest
There are some Systems for which the wvdialcon test will stall at rfcomm ports.
This is a wvdialconf bug and can be bypassed by just using wvdial with a trial
wvtest, but you need to specify the port appropriate to your modem.
If the configuration file below, lines beginning with # are comments.
Removing a # will activate a line with wvdial instructions appropriate to
special circumstances.

# Lines begining with # are comments.
# wvdial will look for this file at /etc/wvdial.conf or /home/LoginName/.wvdial.rc
