Hello, I'm getting no dialtone error after installing sl-modem-daemon. Tried with both wvdial and kppp. I think my modem is conexant so the driver from linuxant.com does work, but very slow (free version, 14.4kbps). I would like to know whether it is possible to make sl-modem-daemon work. uname -a: Linux x-presario 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Sun Oct 14 23:05:12 GMT 2007 i686 GNU/Linux Using freshly installed Ubuntu 7.10 (gutsy) on Compaq Presario V2000 notebook.

Read Conexant.txt The hsfmodem package serves a great variety of Conexant chipset modems. >From http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads-ubuntu-x86.php download hsfmodem_hsfmodem_7.68.00.07full_k.deb.zip with 2.6.22_14_generic equivalent to 2.6.22-14-generic, your kernel version. Under Linux unpack with: $ unzip hsfmodem*.zip Then install with: $ sudo dpkg -i hsfmodem*.deb Subsequently, the modem should be found with $ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf Edit in your personal information with: $ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf and try dialing out with: $ sudo wvdial. See Testing.txt for details. Read Conexant.txt Writing Conexant.txt 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 2007-10-05 00:57 /usr/sbin/pppd In case of an "error 17" "serial loopback" problem, see: http://linmodems.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 eth1 ppp0 Which can interfere with Browser naviagation.
