Many thanks for your replies Marv, I tried as per your instructions: # killall slmodemd slmodemd: any process terminated # modprobe -r snd-intel8x0m FATAL: Module snd_intel8x0m is in use. # lsmod | grep 8x0m snd_intel8x0m 21132 1 snd_ac97_codec 97060 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_intel8x0m snd_pcm 82564 4 snd_pcm_oss,snd_intel8x0,snd_intel8x0m,snd_ac97_ codec snd 58164 13 snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_seq,snd_seq_devic e,snd_intel8x0,snd_intel8x0m,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm,snd_timer snd_page_alloc 14472 3 snd_intel8x0,snd_intel8x0m,snd_pcm In any case I got two connection, but after anymore... I think problem is snd-intel8x0m that is not responding. For replying to Jaques # lsmod | grep snd-intel anything I enclosed Amos.txt as per your request. Is there a sistem to get a reliable dial up? Otherwise I can consider to by another modem, are not so espences, may be a modem with Linux driver? I would like to migrate to Linux, but without Internet connection I can't do it.
