Baskar The USB Microelectronics 56k SoftModem idVendor 0x0483 SGS Thomson Microelectronics idProduct 0x7554 56k SoftModem is supported by the Smartlink slusb.ko driver + the slmodemd helper utility. Read the Smartlink.txt for details. >From http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/packages/smartlink/ get the slmodem-2.9.11-20070813.tar.gz After the compilation and installation, attach the USB connection. There should be autocreated a device node. Check with: $ ls -l /dev/slusb0 If so, activate the modem with: $ su - root # slmodemd -c INDIA /dev/slusb0 which should announce creation of /dev/ttySL0 --> /dev/pts/N , N some number If OK, open a 2nd console: $ su - root # sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf should find the modem If OK, use some text editor, say gedit to # gedit /etc/wvdial.conf to put in you dialout information and delete the ; < > symbols. Also add a line Carrier Check = no Save, and try a dialout with: # wvdial If you know had knowledge that your PC has additionally an internal modem, report this information to use as scanModem could nnt detect it.
