Mike,
do not worry about all of those file, keep them there for later reads
if you need,
scanModem recommends you do the following
\begin{"}
This is a NEW softmodem case! Please send the output ModemData.txt
to DISCUSS@xxxxxxxxxxxxx to enrich the Archive and help others!
If further assistance is not needed, please use email Subject:
New Case Only
-------------------------------------------
Lacking a dsp (digital signal processing) chip, the modem is a software
intensive or "softmodem" type. Its primary controller manages the traffic
with the CPU. But the software needed is specified in the Subsystem.
-----------------------------------------
Support type needed or chipset: slmodemd
An ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) modem driver: snd-intel8x0m
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:
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{"}
Hope this helps,
Antonio
