Dear Jim,
1-Sorry for the mis-hit (last mail sent by mistake).
Thank you for having answered my mail.
2-We are VOLUNTEERS strongly dedicated to help you, not to watch you or
whatever of that kind of selfishness. It so happens that I was watching
my server log when you used it yesterday, because somebody else had a
downloading problem which I was trying to solve. If Walt reads this, he
knows.
3-Attached for your convenience (not in the body of this mail because
everybody at discuss.linmodems.org gets it) two files, a record of all
your accesses (51) and a record of the failures (21 out of 51), hence 30
successes. This was in the interval 19:05 19.30 GMT+2, about 25 minutes.
4-Most striking is your stubborn attempt to download scanModem.gz from
the right place
62.147.2.77 - - [12/Mar/2008:19:25:56 +0200] "GET /packages/ScanModem.gz
HTTP/1.1" 404 310 "-" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1)"
but with the wrong name ScanModem.gz with a capital S where a lower case
s is the name, followed by one succes in downloading scanModem.gz from
the WRONG place:
62.147.2.77 - - [12/Mar/2008:19:31:34 +0200] "GET
/packages/smartlink/Ubuntu/scanModem.gz HTTP/1.1" 200 65472
"http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/Ubuntu/";
"Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1)"
That one is dated October 3 2006 while the right one is dated March 10
2008.
Isn't that a waste of time?
After you failed 9 times to get ScanModem.gz from the right place, was
it not meant to HELP you when I wrote that ScanModem is not scanModem?
Should I have let you use a 16 months old version of scanModem ? Should
I have been ever more a chatterbox than I already and added "a CAPITAL S
is not a lower case s" ?
5-The attached Jim_Reddeck.txt shows downloadings of old, obsolete,
unmaintained slmodem-2.6.12-9-386 while the current version is
slmodem-2.9.11-20080126,
and of old versions of the ltmodem driver:
ltmodem-8.22a3.tar.gz
ltmodem-kv_2.2.19_6.2.1.1-5.99b-1.i386.rpm
ltmodem-5.78d.tar.gz
ltmodem-5.78c.tar.gz
ltmodem-5.78e.tar.gz
Was it not a help to call your attention upon downloading obsolete
drivers for different hardwares, all that after having failed to grab
the right scanModem package?
I do not know you, but your access log is definitely not typical of a
person owning an old computer and using an obsolete operating system.
This is why I thought that I must write to you. If this was wrong,
accept my apologies.
6-YOUR QUERY to discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx:
The very first search result from Google when looking for the word
linmodem begins with links to:
www.linmodems.org ( 2 first links)
linmodems.technion.ac.il (3rd link)
Had you opened the third one and started reading, which I have built,
developped and am maintaining, as a volunteer trying to HELP, you would
have saved a lot of time, found what you need, and accessorily saved ME
a lot of time.
When executed, scanModem EXPLICTLY asks you to look at the archives of
www.linmodems.org if you do not get answered within one day.
May I ask if you have done that?
Likewise, scanModem asks for mentionning your name in the Subject of
your mail. Have you done it?
If you would have obeyed both helping tips, you would have observed that
the string Reddeck does not appear when clicking "archives" at
www.linmodems.org, neither in February 2008 nor in March 2008. Nor does
it if you click (in http://www.linmodems.org) on link "new archives".
Had you checked as recommended, you would have known within 24 hours
that your message had not been delivered -- not really deserving a
statement such as:
"> I was under the impression that sending the output of scanModem to
your discussion forum would help you to help me."
JIM,
We do not expect any thanks, we seldom get any, and that's Ok - we are
volunteers.
All of us just hope that your implicit "impression" may be softened by
my present answer.
If you wish to reply, do it to discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with copy to me,
this may help understanding a possible mail problem.

I have not d/l ANY new drivers as of yet. I have only d/l drivers from the Intel site which do work with the Intel 536ep on Mandrake 10.2
I did send the outputs of uname -r, lspci -vv and scanModem to the discussion about two weeks ago but have received no reply. Also read the output which directed me to a broken link. I later found the Phillipe Vouters page for Intel drivers which list drivers as recently as Oct 2007. There are so many drivers.
I was under the impression that sending the output of scanModem to your discussion forum would help you to help me.
Thank you

ScanModem is NOT scanModem
You are downloading a LOT of drivers most of which obsolete, matching
all sort of hardwares.
USE AND READ scanModem output please.
