Amos The low level modem driver is the snd-intel8x0m (plus dependent modules) already provided with your Linux installation. The slmoded is a non-driver helper with most of the COMM smarts, provided compiled for Newbies. If you want to compile it yourself for fun, read the Smartlink.txt for details. Or more simply: $ su - root Copy the slmodemd over: # cp slmodemd /usr/sbin/slmodemd # chmod +x /usr/sbin/slmodemd # slmodemd --help # slmodemd -c ITALY --alsa modem:1 > reporting dynamic creation of ports: > /dev/ttySL0 --> /dev/pts/N , with N some number Open another console and therein # wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf should find your modem Read the wvdial.txt about features often needed in Italy MarvS On Dec 10, 2007 3:39 AM, amosse@xxxxxxxxx <amosse@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hello to everybody > I am a Linux beginner, I am trying to get Linux (Open suse 10.3 KDE) running on my Laptop (Asus L3350M), but unfortunately I have problem with the modem. > I ran ScanModem and I checked ModemData.txt, where it seems I would install slmodemd, I downloaded but I don,t get to compile the file (I don't see any "make" file in the top directory) > > I hope someone can help me, here I paste the ModemData.txt result. > > Many Thanks. > Amos > > ================================================================ > > Only plain text email is forwarded by the Discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx List Server, > as HTML can contain viruses.
