Amos RE: # slmodemd --country=ITALY /dev/slamr0 your particular modem does not use /dev/slamr0 but rather MUST have the specification: modem:1 Your core problem is with the slmodemd you are using, it does not have the needed ALSA support.: ALSA support is not compiled in (see README for howto). You seem to have copied/installled some SuSE slmodemd over the one you successfully used earlier when: ttySL0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- OK ttySL0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 Z -- OK ttySL0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 -- OK ttySL0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 -- OK ttySL0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 -- OK ttySL0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 -- OK ttySL0<*1>: Modem Identifier: ATI -- SmartLink Soft Modem So just again do the copy over of the slmodemd from the SLMODEMD.4.2 resource and retest # slmodemd --country=ITALY modem:1 MarvS On Dec 12, 2007 6:32 PM, amosse@xxxxxxxxx <amosse@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Amos, > > > > Any simple text editor will suffice. > > Gedit is merely one which I expected would be on your installation. > > The most rudimentary almost always present is "nano" > > > > MarvS > > Many thanks for your reply. > I got to modify wvdial.conf (with vi) > [Dialer Defaults] > Init1 = ATZ > Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 > Modem = /dev/ttySL0 > Phone = 7020187187 > Idle Seconds = 300 > Modem Type = Analog Modem > Stupid Mode = 1 > Compuserve = 0 > Baud = 460800 > Auto DNS = 1 > Dial Command = ATDT > Ask Password = 0 > ISDN = 0 > Password = telecom > Username = telecom > Carrier Check = no > > after I run: > linux-amosse:/ # wvdial > --> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.56 (abuild@mandelbrot) > --> 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 > > If I check at /dev/ttySL0 it doesn't exist > > So I tried again: > linux-amosse:/usr/sbin # slmodemd -c ITALY --alsa modem:1 > ALSA support is not compiled in (see README for howto). > > I got some information about SuseItalia.org in order to charge this file: > http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.3/repo/non-oss/suse/i586/smartlink-softmodem-2.9.10-148.i586.rpm > http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.3/repo/non-oss/suse/i586/smartlink-softmodem-kmp-default-2.9.10_2.6.22.5_31-148.i586.rpm > I did it, after I made > # modprobe slamr > # slmodemd --country=ITALY /dev/slamr0 > error: mdm setup: cannot stat '/dev/slamr0: no such file or direc > error: cannot setup device '/dev/slamr0' > > After I made even: > amosse@linux-amosse:~> wvdialconf wvtest > Editing `wvtest'. > Scanning your serial ports for a modem. > ttyS0<Info>: Device or resource busy > Modem Port Scan<*1>: S0 > ttyS1<Info>: Device or resource busy > Modem Port Scan<*1>: S1 > ttyS2<Info>: Device or resource busy > Modem Port Scan<*1>: S2 > ttyS3<Info>: Device or resource busy > Modem Port Scan<*1>: S3 > ttyS4<Info>: Device or resource busy > Modem Port Scan<*1>: S4 > ttyS5<Info>: Device or resource busy > Modem Port Scan<*1>: S5 > ttyS6<Info>: Device or resource busy > Modem Port Scan<*1>: S6 > ttyS7<Info>: Device or resource busy > Modem Port Scan<*1>: S7 > ttySL0<Info>: Device or resource busy > Modem Port Scan<*1>: SL0 > Sorry, no modem was detected!
