Thank you Marvin for your useful answer, I downloaded SLMODEMD.gcc4.1, uninstalled the ubuntu slmodem, extracted the tgz, sudo modprobe snd-intel8x0m, did a sudo ./slmodemd -c OMAN --alsa modem:1 and parallely to that send a ppp connection (via network manager). And actually it worked ! I downloaded my e-mails and was able to surf the web. Great job ! ... but Since I rebooted my computer it is not working anymore. The module is correctly loaded : sebek@bourdon:~/tmp/SLMODEMD.gcc4.1$ lsmod|grep intel snd_intel8x0m 18572 0 snd_intel8x0 34972 1 snd_ac97_codec 100644 2 snd_intel8x0m,snd_intel8x0 snd_pcm 80388 4 snd_intel8x0m,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss snd 54660 13 snd_intel8x0m,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_seq_oss,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq,snd_timer,snd_seq_device snd_page_alloc 11400 3 snd_intel8x0m,snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm intel_agp 25620 1 agpgart 35016 2 drm,intel_agp but when I launch slmodem with the same command than previously, I get an error message: sebek@bourdon:~/tmp/SLMODEMD.gcc4.1$ sudo ./slmodemd -c OMAN -a modem:1 error: mixer setup: attach hw:1 error: No such device ALSA lib conf.c:3949:(snd_config_expand) Unknown parameters 1 ALSA lib pcm.c:2144:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM modem:1 error: alsa setup: cannot open playback device 'modem:1': Invalid argument error: cannot setup device `modem:1' I tried with modem:0 and modem:1, with hw:0 and with hw:1 Only the hw:1 is launched correctly : sebek@bourdon:~/tmp/SLMODEMD.gcc4.1$ sudo ./slmodemd -c OMAN -a hw:0 error: mixer setup: Off-hook switch not found for card hw:0 SmartLink Soft Modem: version 2.9.11 Feb 17 2008 09:31:10 symbolic link `/dev/ttySL0' -> `/dev/pts/3' created. modem `hw:0' created. TTY is `/dev/pts/3' Use `/dev/ttySL0' as modem device, Ctrl+C for termination. but then nothing happens when connecting with network-manager (nothing in messages). Reading the Slmodem-ALSA.txt I should anyway use the "modem" and not the "hw". As you told me in the previous e-mail, I also tried to bring all network interfaces down and unplug all usb devices. It does not help. sebek@bourdon:~/tmp/SLMODEMD.gcc4.1$ alsactl --version alsactl version 1.0.14 sebek@bourdon:~/tmp/SLMODEMD.gcc4.1$ ll /dev/modem lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 2008-03-06 17:33 /dev/modem -> /dev/ttySL0 Do you have an explanation for this error message when launching slmodemd while it was working this morning?
