Just rerun the# make installof the slmodem package, which will install a version 2.9.11 slmodemd Then upon bootup, there will be automatically done:# modprobe ungrab-winmodem# modprobe slamr# slmodemd -c BRAZIL /dev/slamr0with creation of /dev/ttySL0 -> /dev/pts/Nand you will be ready to# wvdial Try commenting out theStupid Modem = 1for better performance if it is not essential. You can also mantually do:# /etc/init.d/sl-modem-daemon stop (or start or restart) MarvS On Mon, Mar 10, 2008 at 10:53 AM, Beny Spira <benys@xxxxxx> wrote:> Hi Antonio and the list>> Some time ago I asked for help regarding a problem with my sm56 modem,> that needed to be reinstalled everytime I booted the machine.
