Help for modem with slackware12
I would like to use the modem to dial telephone numbers and send faxes.
For internet connection I already use an ethernet card.
Thank You, Ugo Giansante

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.

The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.1.2
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.1.2
linux-headers-2.6.24 resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!
If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
kernel-source-2.6.24
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

In case of an "error 17" "serial loopback" problem, see:

To enable dialout without Root permission do:
$ su - root (not for Ubuntu)

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.
