Angela RE: Packages providing alsa-base and alsa-utilities support should be installed, for necessary support of ALSA modem drivers and slmodemd actions. ------- Is your audio working. Functionality of ALSA sound support is necessary for both candidate modem types!! You may have to install packages providing for ALSA sound support.
