 There are no blacklisted modem drivers in /etc/modprobe*  files

The Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) packages providing
audio 
support,
also includes drivers for some modems. The ALSA diagnostics are
written 
during
bootup to /proc/asound/ folders.

 The /proc/asound/ audio+modem diagostics are being copied.
 Finished copy to Modem/ALSAdanilo.tgz

The ALSA verion is 1.0.14
The modem cards detected by "aplay -l"  are:
tarjeta 1: modem [VIA 82XX modem], dispositivo 0: VIA 82XX modem
[VIA 
82XX modem]

The /proc/asound/pcm file reports:

 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:    slmodemd

 An ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) modem driver:  
snd-via82xx-modem
 provides Low Level support enabling contact with the modem
hardware.
 For all BUT Conexant chip soft modems (using hsfmodem software)
 complementary High Level support is through a Smartlink
utility:  slmodemd

 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 YOUR_COUNTRY --alsa modem:1
 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.

Writing Smartlink.txt
============ end Smartlink section =====================

 Completed candidate modem analyses.

 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


Checking pppd properties:
    -rwsr-xr-- 1 root dip 269256 2007-10-04 14:57 /usr/sbin/pppd

In case of an "error 17" "serial loopback" problem, see:
   
http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/archive-sixth/msg02637.html

To enable dialout without Root permission do:
    $ su - root  (not for Ubuntu)
        sudo chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
or under Ubuntu related Linuxes
    sudo chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd

Checking settings of:    /etc/ppp/options
asyncmap 0
noauth
crtscts
lock
hide-password
modem
proxyarp
lcp-echo-interval 30
lcp-echo-failure 4
noipx

In case of a message like:
   Warning: Could not modify /etc/ppp/pap-secrets: Permission
denied
see
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-sixth/msg04656.html

Read Modem/YourSystem.txt concerning other COMM channels: eth0
Which can interfere with Browser naviagation.

 Don't worry about the following, it is for the experts
 should trouble shooting be necessary.
