Mio, All looks well now! With the driver snd-intel8x0m loaded the modem is properly detected: 01-00: Intel ICH - Modem : Intel ICH6 Modem - Modem : playback 1 : capture 1 scripts from the sl-modem-daemon package symbolic links to the modem port /dev/pts/0: --------------- The modem symbolic link is /dev/modem -> ttySL0 The slmodemd set symbolic link is /dev/ttySL0 -> /dev/pts/0 Through a bootup action: slmodemd -c USA --alsa modem:1 However there are two small fixes to do. 1) with: $ sudo gedit /etc/default/sl-modem-daemon change SLMODEMD_COUNTRY=USA to SLMODEMD_COUNTRY=ITALY . 2) The SLMODEMD.gcc4.1.tar.gz package should be unpacked with: $ tar zxf SLM*.tar.gz Move into it: $ cd SLMODEMD.gcc4.1 Look around with $ ls Copy the wvdial.txt to your Home folder, for ease of later access. The included slmodemd file is newer than the one installed by the sl-modem-daemon package. Do: $ sudo mv /usr/sbin/slmodemd /usr/sbin/slmodemd.old $ sudo cp slmodemd /usr/sbin/slmodemd $ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf should find the modem and write /etc/wvdial.conf. Edit it with: $ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf following the guidance of the wvdial.txt. Reboot at this point. Afterwards, you should be able to dialout. First if necessary shutdown ethernet with $ sudo ifconfig eth0 down Then you should be able to dialout with $ sudo wvdial MarvS On Jan 25, 2008 2:53 PM, Mio Tiscali <likesuicide@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Well this is the output (ModemData.txt) generated with the new version > of scanmodem that you sent to me.
