Amos,
As can be seen from your lsmod shown below, snd-intel8x0m cannot be
removed because it is used by modules snd_ac97_codec, snd_pcm,
snd_page_alloc, and ultimately snd.
This is the complete sound system.
What you can try to do is:
to find the module on the disk with command
find /lib/modules/`uname -r` -name snd-intel8x0m
copy it from there to your own account in the case you would need it again
remove it from the place where you found it.
Reboot.
Jacques
NB: before any operation of that kind, learn how to boot single in order
to be able to restore it into place if the reboot does not complete.

Jacques,

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_device,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.
Amos
RE: Is there other solution?
Try:
$ sudo killall slmodemd
Then the:
$ sudo modprobe -r snd-intel8x0m
Check with:
$ lsmod | grep 8x0m
If it has not unloaded, a reboot is sadly necessary.

I followed your instruction, I mean
1) stop wvdial (Ctrl+C)
2) stop slmodemd(Ctrl+C in its start control: #slmodemd -c ITALY --alsa modem:1)
3) stop snd-intel8x0m (#sudo modprobe -r snd-intel8x0m)
4) # ifconfig

Problem remain still the same, I don't get to stop snd-intel8x0m, I get still same messagge:
FATAL:module snd_intel8x0m is in use
May problem is snd-intel8x0m driver?
Is there other solution?
Amos
RE:> FATAL: module snd_intel8x0m is in use
First stop wvdial, or whatever dialer your are using.
2nd stop slmodemd in its start console with:
Ctrl-C
ONLY then
$ sudo modprobe -r snd-intel8x0m
Also stop other COMM channels before trying a dialout
$ ifconfig
to display. If eth0 is show
$ sudo ifconfig eth0 down
The lo "loopback" should be retained.

Amos,
When you get flaky behavior with the modem,
stop wvdial if necessary
stop slmodemd with
Ctrl-C
unload the driver
$ sudo modprobe -r snd-intel8x0m
reload the driver
$ sudo modprobe snd-intel8x0m
and retest the modem.
Our experience is that sometimes these drivers do lost function after
a while when loaded.

I don't know why is not working at all, this is very strange...
Now problem is that after #wvdial I get
.............
ATDT7020187187
--> Timed out while dialing. Trying again.
--> Sending: ATDT7020187187
--> Waiting for carrier.
and so on without getting any connection
I start from wvdial.conf
[Dialer Defaults]
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 X3 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 +MS=34
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Phone = 7020187187

#Dial Command = ATDT
[Dialer 2nd]

Phone = 0571861010
It semms to be OK?, only some questions:
Looking on the web I find some examples with Dial Command, is it important to put it? If yes what value?
In any case I tried both with and without no changes:
Yesterday during my succesfull trial sometimes I did't start
slmodemd in the normal way:
# slmodemd -c ITALY --alsa modem:1
because I have set up slmodemd in "Editor runlevel" on yes, in this way I think service start automatically, but I don't know if with alsa support...
I have to inizialize slmodemd service as above or leave it autoload with runlevel?
I try both providers same problem as above said.
This is very strange behaviour, what I have to check ...??
Thanks
Amos
ps: do you have some wvdial.conf tutorial to suggest me in order to understand meaning of the set up.
Amos,
Good progress!!
Note X3 is in Init2. For Init1 use
Init1 = ATZ
RE: is it right to set up wvdial.conf in this way in order to connect
to 2 different provider? (I try telecom connection dialing # wvdial
2nd)
--------
Yes, but you could simplify as, the "wvdial 2nd" will reference the
default, for any missing lines. So if would suffice to use format:
[Dialer default]
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 X3 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 +MS=90
# +MS=34 might provide a longer CONNECT
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Phone = 0571861010
ISDN = 0
Username = amosse@xxxxxxxxx
Password = zzzzzzzz
Modem = /dev/ttySL0
Baud = 460800
Carrier Check = no
SetVolume = 1
Stupid mode = yes
Auto DNS = yes
[Dialer 2nd]
Phone = 7020187187
Username = telecom
Password = telecom
