Jim
you can do what scanmodem recommends
\begin{"}
Support type needed or chipset: slmodemd
An ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) modem
driver:
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.
\end{"}
