Marv, Performed what you asked: For softmodem chip: 0x10573057 recognized from The /proc/asound/pcm file reports: ----------------------- 00-06: Si3054 Modem : Si3054 Modem hw:0,6 is the ALSA specified device. Download from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/ the package SLMODEMD.gcc4.1.tar.gz having a compiled slmodemd. Unpack under Linux with: $ tar zxf SLMODEMD.gcc4.1.tar.gz and read instructions therein. But briefly, the modem is setup with command: sudo slmodemd -c CANADA --alsa hw:0,6 reporting dynamic creation of ports: /dev/ttySL0 --> /dev/pts/N , with N some number Read Smartlink.txt and Modem/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance. The SLMODEMD.gcc4.1 expanded properly. The command: 'sudo slmodemd -c CANADA --alsa hw:0,6' It told me to use 'dev/ttySL0' as modem device, Ctlrl+C for termination. >>>> So I pressed Ctlrl+C to get back to the terminal prompt. It created the symbolic link '/dev/ttySL0' -> '/dev/pts/0' , the first time I ran it, it created '/dev/pts/0'. The second time I ran it (after much trial and error with other commands to follow in the expanded SLMODEMD.gcc4.1 folder), it said it created the symbolic link '/dev/ttySL0' -> '/dev/pts/1' , however, there is no '/dev/pts/1' only '/dev/pts/0'. Modified 'wvdial.conf' by adding the phone number, userid and password, then copied it from the expanded 'SLMODEMD.gcc4.1' folder to '/etc/wvdial.conf'. Running 'setserial -agv /dev/ttyS*' produced: /dev/ttyS0, Line 0, UART: unknown, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4 Baud_base: 115200, close_delay: 50, divisor: 0 closing_wait: 3000 Flags: spd_normal skip_test /dev/ttyS1, Line 1, UART: unknown, Port: 0x02f8, IRQ: 3 Baud_base: 115200, close_delay: 50, divisor: 0 closing_wait: 3000 Flags: spd_normal skip_test /dev/ttyS2, Line 2, UART: unknown, Port: 0x03e8, IRQ: 4 Baud_base: 115200, close_delay: 50, divisor: 0 closing_wait: 3000 Flags: spd_normal skip_test /dev/ttyS3, Line 3, UART: unknown, Port: 0x02e8, IRQ: 3 Baud_base: 115200, close_delay: 50, divisor: 0 closing_wait: 3000 Flags: spd_normal Ran: 'sudo mknod -m 600 /dev/slamr0 c 242 0' Ran: 'sudo mknod -m 600 /dev/slusb0 c 243 0' Which installed the 'slamr0 and slusb0' files in /dev. Running: 'sudo modprobe -r snd-hda-intel' produced: FATAL: Module snd_hda_intel is in use. Running: 'alsactl --version' produced: alsactl version 1.0.14 The documentation said that I would need to install and compile a new version of ALSA. I have already downloaded and installed the header.h files from 'linux-libc-dev_2.6.22-14.51_i386.deb in preparation for any compiles that may be required. Also read through DriverCompiling.txt and followed best I could and set EXTRAVERSION = from EXTRAVERSION = .9 in the Makefile. When I finally ran 'make bzImage' it spilled itself out with plenty of errors. I had been trying to compile the Conexant driver prior to resorting to sending you the ModemData.txt file. Running: 'wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf' produced: Editing `/etc/wvdial.conf'. Scanning your serial ports for a modem. Modem Port Scan<*1>: S0 S1 S2 S3 Sorry, no modem was detected! Is it in use by another program? Did you configure it properly with setserial?

I've been reading my face off and I'm getting lost in the files to read. So much info about so many other pieces of hardware, etc. and many referrences to web pages which lead into a vast world of instructions about modems, compilers, etc. I think I need some very specific steps to follow, specific to Ubuntu 7.10.
