Sebek, Concerning the poor performance and errors , a non-optimal country code usage may be part of the problem. You can test some alternate Country settings and check for improvements Also read through the Post-Install at http://linmodems.technion.ac.il MarvS On Mon, Mar 24, 2008 at 7:19 AM, sebek <sebeeek@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hello, > > I have been posting on this list three weeks ago. > My modem is working thanks to your help, snd-intel8x0m, and > slmodemd-2.9.11 with alsa. > > I am using slmodem like this : > sudo slmodemd -d 1 -c OMAN -a modem:1 > > (Yemen is not referenced in the country list, I took the nearest > country). > > However, I get many error messages from the output of slmodemd (launched > with debug) : > <592.363591> modem:1: hdlc frame size error. > <593.238410> modem:1: hdlc frame integrity error. > <593.238433> modem:1: hdlc frame integrity error. > <593.283470> modem:1: hdlc frame fcs error. > > and it looks like I have bad network performances comparing to another > PC on the same dial up connection. > > Should I worry about these errors? > > I join the ModemData.txt, although I am not sure it is useful as the > scanModem utility didn't detect my modem correctly. > > > ---- > Only plain text email is forwarded by the Discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx List > Server, > as HTML can contain viruses.
