Dear MarvS,
first I tried to connect to freenet.de with an external
ELSA modem 33.6K, that I bought in 1996 and is used
with a Windows 95, Pentium 0.1 GHz 32MB PC normally.
The Linux-PC dialed correctly, but the connection did
not hold.
Then I downloded the scanModem tool with my Windows ME PC
and transferred it to the Linux PC with a burned CD
The tool shows only the Intel PCI Modem,
which is 56K and better for use, but did not
show the 33.6K Modem. As
suggested in the ModemData file I downloded
SLMODEMD.gcc4.l.ter.gz and did not know what to
do next, thats why I asked for help. I couldn´t
send the Modemdata file, because the Linux-PC has no
hardware yet to burn CD nor write any floppies.
Now I bought a USB-Stick and can send you the file.
I have installed the SLMODEMD.gcc4.l.ter.gz
with chmod and copied it into the location
/usr/sbin.
As suggested, I have searched for other SLMODEMD,
and found only the newly installed one.
What can I do next to use the 56K Modem ?
Thanks a lot
Rainer

Ranier,
Browse http://linmodems.technion.ac.il and download scanModem.gz .
Within a Linux partition
gunzip scanModem.gz
To make it executable:
chmod +x scanModem
Run diagnositics with:
./scanModem
Only the ouput ModemData.txt should be sent to Discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

The entire ModemData.txt is needed before we can help

At the moment I cannot connect to the Internet with the modem.
I am used to MS-DOS 3.3, Windows 95 and Windows ME.
I have downloaded SLOMODEMD.gcc4.1.tar.gz through Netscape
and Windows ME on another PC and transferred it to the

Was this correct ? And what will I have to do now ?

Softmodem codec or chipset from diagnostics:
from Archives:
Lacking a dsp (digital signal processing) chip, the modem is a software
intensive or "softmodem" type. Its primary controller manages the traffic
with the CPU. But the software needed is specified in the Subsystem.
-----------------------------------------
Support type needed or chipset:
Support can likely be achieved through two mutually exclusive alternatives:
1) The hsfmodem software for Conexant chipset modems: Read Conexant.txt
The following ALSA alternative CANNOT work with Conexant modems.
2) An ALSA modem driver plus slmodemd. Read Smartlink.txt for details, and
to test get the package SLMODEMD.gcc4.1.tar.gz from:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/

For owners of a Dell PCs with Conexant HSF modems, a driver source package with full speed enabled is available, but requires driver compiling. Read Conexant.txt

The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.1.3
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.1.3
Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
make utility - /usr/bin/make
Compiler version 4.1
linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/build
However some compilations and executable functions may need additional files,
in the FileNames.h (so called kernel "h"eaders) collection installed in /usr/include/ .
For martian_modem, additional required packages are libc6-dev (and for Debian/Ubuntu, linux-libc-dev). The also required headers of package libc6 are commonly installed by default.
If a driver compilation fails, with message including some lack of some FileName.h (stdio.h for example), then
Some additional kernel-header files need installation to /usr/include. The minimal additional packages are libc6-dev
and any of its dependents, under Ubuntu linux-libc-dev
If an alternate ethernet connection is available,
$ apt-get update
$ apt-get -s install linux-kernel-devel
will install needed package
For Debian/Ubuntu related distributions, run the following command to display the needed package list:
Otherwise packages have to be found through http://packages.ubuntu.com
Once downloaded and transferred into a Linux partition,
they can be installed alltogether with:
$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb
