Daniel,
1-There is NOTHING to be touched nor done with ppp
2-In case you have not done it already (you write that you dialed out so
if you could for example browse the Web, there is nothing more to be
master with wvdial either):
After having started slmodemd -c USA --alsa -s hw:0,1
which you should not stop before you want to stop using the modem, as
super user ( = root), with command su to become root:
wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.com
Edit /etc/wvdial.conf
Remove the three ; , the three < , and the three > in the area where
you set the phone number, username and password given to you by your
ISP, and replace the names of these 3 variables (which were inside < >)
by their values.
Add one line:
Carrier Check = no
Exit the editor.
You will not need to do ANYTHING ELSE in this file until you want to
change the ISP variables or have more than one ISP.
Start wvdial every time you want to start a modem session and do not
stop it before you want to stop the session.
slmodemd and wvdial are stopped with typing CTRL-C
Enjoy your modem

It worked!! I was able to dial out using the config you mentioned.
Thanks a million!!
Now I just need to learn how to master wvdial and the ppp part
Cheers

0:7c = 5349
0:7e = 4c27
translates as SIL27 an Agere Systems codec. Try
$ slmodemd -c USA --alsa -s hw:0,1
-s for shortbuffer is need for the ALI5451 hardware

Hi MarvS,
I'm attaching the mc97#1-1+reg file. Hope it helps.
Yesterday I tested the modem but it did not work. Maybe because of the
hw:0,1 thing or, most probably, as you explained, I used an old
version of slmodemd.
I just downloaded the new version that you mentioned
(slmodemd.gcc.4.1) and will test it later today.
Many thanks for all your help

1) Of most importance, check if there is a file
/proc/asound/card0/codec97#0/mc97#1-1+reg
If so, send me the complete output of:
cat /proc/asound/card0/codec97#0/mc97#1-1+regs
2) RE: $ sudo ./slmodemd -a -c BRAZIL hw:0
hw:0 is merely the audio compondent of the card. It will not support COMM.
$ sudo ./slmodemd -a -c BRAZIL hw:0,1
would use the modem Subsystem if present
3) version 2.9.9e-pre1 is NOT competent for COMM with current kernels.
From http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/packages/smartlink/
get the SLMODEMD.gcc4.1.tar.gz and use the slmodemd therein of version 2.9.11
I'll do a bugfix for ALI5451 interrogation tonight

Hi Marv,
I did not delete anything from the ModemData.txt output.
The output from the command you requested is attached. I'm also
attaching the lspci and lspci -nv outputs.
The good news is that I found a post that directed me to download
slmodemd-2.9.9e-pre1-alsa.tar.gz and running the daemon, apparently my
modem was detected!! I could not do a complete test because I don't
have a land line now, but will test it latter today. The output of the
slmodemd command is:
daniel@xadrez:~/p2120/SLMODEMD$ sudo ./slmodemd -a -c BRAZIL hw:0
SmartLink Soft Modem: version 2.9.9e-pre1 Sep 24 2005 14:47:19
symbolic link `/dev/ttySL0' -> `/dev/pts/1' created.
modem `hw:0' created. TTY is `/dev/pts/1'
Use `/dev/ttySL0' as modem device, Ctrl+C for termination.
Thanks
Daniel

Daniel,
Your ModemData.txt is missing large blocks of expected info, Do
$ bash -x ./scanModem 2>&1 | tee DV.txt
and send me the DV.txt, so I can do a bug fix if necessary.
If you deliberately deleted some unpleasant info from the ModemData.txt
PLEASE resend the complete file. At a minimum, return the output of
$ lspci
$ lspci -nv
The Si3036 are a base chip, which are customized further.
They can be finished to serve as Conexant modem chips
or as chips for several other modems supported by freeware.

Hi,
I have a Fujitsu Lifebook and scanmodem tool tells me I have an ALI
5451 but does not output any instructions as to what to do to get it
working. I'm attaching the scanModem output.
Also, looking at /proc/asound/card0/codec97#0/mc97#1-1 it gives:
daniel@xadrez:/proc/asound/card0/codec97#0$ more mc97#1-1
1-1/0: Silicon Laboratory Si3036,8 rev 7
Extended modem ID: codec=1 LIN1
Modem status : GPIO MREF ADC1 DAC1 PRE(ADC2) PRF(DAC2) PRG(HADC) PRH(HDAC)

Does that mean I have a ALI modem with SIL chipset? What do I do now?
Thanks
