Andrew Your modem Class 0703: 8086:266d Modem: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW Primary PCI_id 8086:266d Subsystem PCI_id 1179:0001 Softmodem codec or chipset from diagnostics: SIL2f from Archives: SIL27, an LSI/AgereSystems type has a different chipset than Anita. So the problems need not be comparable. Both SIL2f and SIL27 should be activated by your command line $ sudo slmodemd -c CANADA --alsa modem:1 Though the SIL2f variant is much rarer There are certainly others on this List successfully using the slmodemd + the snd-intel8x0m ALSA driver. Though I expect it is not the problem, best send us you wvdial.conf , but XXXX your password. Please verify that your phone line has a dialtone when an ordinary phone is attached to it. Though mostly necessary only in Italy, try the effect of adding an X3 to the Init2 line: Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 X3 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 Also please do the setup with: $ sudo slmodemd -c CANADA --debug=2 --log --alsa modem:1 after the following $ wvdial failure, send us the output log file.

I'm not sure exactly what to do because I seem to have found different walkthroughs between the ubuntu help site and the text files included in /modem from scanModem. Here's what I've been doing based on what I understand: > (you should know that I am running of a live CD and so everything is reset, etc.) > I unpack SLMODEMD.gcc4.1.tar.gz, follow the instructions given in its textfiles al the way to sudo slmodemd -c CANADA --alsa modem:1 which creates /dev/ttySL0 > I then open another command line window(can't think of the proper name at the moment), then I follow the instructions I found on the ubuntu help site.

I also add Carrier Check = no . Then I enter $ sudo wvdial and I get a similar response to John: > WvDial Modem: ATDT6133501638 > > WvDial Modem: NO CARRIER > > WvDial: No Carrier!

Somewhere in ModemData.txt, it says that the archived modem doesn not agree with the detected one. My modem has been replaced since initially buying the laptop and so that might be the reason although I do not fully understand this stuff. Also, do I need to install linux-lib-dev and libc6-dev or should ubuntu 7.10 already have this. > (I am resending this email because the first time it was not in plain text) > > > _________________________________________________________________ > Try Chicktionary, a game that tests how many words you can form from the letters given.
