Thanks for the help, but I'm still having problems.

I edited wvdial.conf and sl-modem-daemon as Marvin said, then I typed:

emanuele@emanuele-desktop:~$ ls  -l  /dev/ttySL0  /dev/pts/*
crw-rw---- 1 root     uucp 136, 0 2008-04-10 23:08 /dev/pts/0
crw--w---- 1 emanuele tty  136, 1 2008-04-10 23:31 /dev/pts/1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root     root     10 2008-04-10 23:08 /dev/ttySL0 -> /dev/pts/0

all seemed right.

Unfortunately, when I made:

emanuele@emanuele-desktop:~$ sudo wvdial
WvDial<*1>: WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.56
WvModem<*1>: Cannot get information for serial port.
WvDial<*1>: Initializing modem.

WvDial Modem<*1>: NO DIALTONE
WvDial<Err>: No dial tone.
WvDial<*1>: Disconnecting at Thu Apr 10 23:43:44 2008

I got a "NO DIALTONE" message. This is my wvdial.conf:

emanuele@emanuele-desktop:~$ cat /etc/wvdial.conf

[Dialer Defaults]
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 X3 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
; Init3 = ATM0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Baud = 460800
New PPPD = yes
Modem = /dev/ttySL0
ISDN = 0
Phone = 0803761010
Username = REMOVED
Password = REMOVED
Carrier Check = no
; Stupid Mode = yes

I removed my username and password. About the phone number, the first digit '0' is the first part of a regional area code (I'm not passing through a switchboard to make a call): under Ms Windows, the modem works perfectly using that number.

I have also an ethernet card in my computer so, following what's suggested in the "YourSystem.txt", I disconnected the RJ-45 cable and I made:

emanuele@emanuele-desktop:~/Modem$ sudo ifconfig eth0 down
emanuele@emanuele-desktop:~/Modem$ ifconfig
lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
          inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host

          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)

Nothing changed. I also tried to remove the X3 command from the Init2 string, but the result it's just the same: "NO DIALTONE".

What's wrong?

Thank you.

Stop running the
$ sudo  ./setup
your installation is OK now

Just do an edit:
$ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
to a final format like:

[Dialer Defaults]
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 X3 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
#  X3 meaning "dial without dialtone detection" is often necessary in ITALY
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Baud = 460800
New PPPD = yes
Modem = /dev/ttySL0
ISDN = 0
Phone = 3015560020
Username = LoginName@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Password = YourPassword
Carrier Check = no
# needed for /dev/pts/N  modem ports
## end /etc/wvdial.conf

Also
$ sudo gedit /etc/default/sl-modem-daemon
and change
SLMODEMD_COUNTRY=USA
to
SLMODEMD_COUNTRY=ITALY

Then reboot and the modem should be automatically setup.
Check with
$ ls  -l  /dev/ttySL0  /dev/pts/*
whose output should include
    /dev/ttySL0 --> /dev/pts/SomeNumber

If so, try dialing out with
$ sudo wvdial

 as you can see, I get an error.

 I hope you could give me some guidance. Thank you.


 Emanuele

 P.S.: If you are wandering why the numbers in the list of the "Running
diagnostic:" is different than the others in the previous email, it's just
because the list was becoming very long (I ran "./setup" a lot of times),
and I tried to obtain a "clean" list. So I opened with gvim the "setup" file
and I found the "dsmeg" command, and after reading its man page, I gave
"sudo dsmeg -c", restarted the computer and made just two or three attempts
with "./setup"... I was just trying to learn something about linux, but I
swear to be more cautious from now :) .

Please do EXACTLY what follows:

sudo lsmod > 2>&1 ungrab.problem.txt
sudo ungrab-winmodem >> 2>&1 ungrab.problem.txt
sudo modprobe slamr >> 2>&1 ungrab.problem.txt
sudo lsmod >> 2&1 ungrab.problem.txt
sudo slmodemd -c ITALY /dev/slamr0 >> 2&1 ungrab.problem.txt

and send us the file  ungrab.problem.txt  which these five commands will
produce.

Jacques,

your guess is right! (sorry if you didn't understand me easily, but I'm
not so comfortable in writing in English...): I did not run "sudo ./setup"
at all.
Now I made it (sl-modem-daemon package is NOT installed, I removed it
completely), but there are some errors:

Can I move on with the last steps:


 $ slmodemd --help
 $ slmodemd --countrylist &> Clist.txt
 If not in the USA, look for your COUNTRY_NAME therein.
 Do and edit with:
 $ sudo gedit  /etc/default/sl-modem-daemon
 and therein replace the USA in the line:
 SLMODEMD_COUNTRY=USA
 This will provide for the correct Country setting in the automated:
    slmodemd -c COUNTRY /dev/slamr0

?

Thanks for your help!

Jacques Goldberg ha scritto:

Emanuele,

In addition to my previous mail, I now think again and possibly did
not understand what you want,
Can it be that you wrote your message below BEFORE having run the
command    sudo ./setup   ? Or perhaps you did not run
sudo ./setup at all?

The correct version of slmodemd is created and installed by the
command sudo ./setup
slamr is a driver.
slmodemd is a control utility which starts the operation of the slamr
driver in your case, or of several versions of the ALSA driver which are not
relevant in your case.
The package sl-modem-daemon installs an obsolete version of slmodemd
in your system.
sudo ./setup installs the right one at the same place.

The package sl-modem-daemon is NOT necessary to use your modem.
All it does is to automatically start the program slmodemd when you
boot the computer. Without sl-modem-daemon you must type
sudo slmodemd -c ITALY /dev/slamr0
and leave slmodemd running in the window where you typed the command
before you can use the modem
sl-modem-daemon saves you the work of typing
sudo slmodemd -c ITALY /dev/slamr0

Jacques,

first of all, thank you for your answer.

Emanuele,

Your ModemData.txt tells you what you have to do step by step!
Have you tried to read it and apply the instructions?

Yes, I read the instructions, but what makes me ask for your help is
the emphatized part in the text:

The modem is supported by the Smartlink slamr driver
*plus the slmodemd helper utility.*  Read the
Smartlink.txt and Modem/YourSystem.txt for follow through
guidance.
Now, I don't have any slmodemd utility installed. Infact:

$ slmodemd --version
Il programma «slmodemd» non è attualmente installato.  È possibile
installarlo digitando:
sudo apt-get install sl-modem-daemon
*bash: slmodemd: command not found*

I read Smartlink.txt, but (for me) it's not enough clear about the
way to install the slmodemd utility. I tried to install the sl-modem-daemon
package (via Synaptic package manager), but if I understood correctly some
previous messages, in Ubuntu there is a wrong version of the utility. To be
sure about this, when I finished to install the sl-modem-daemon package, I
wrote in the console:
$ slmodemd --version

and I got something like "2.9.9e" that should be wrong (infact in
other messages I read that the right version must be 2.9.11). Am I right?
I removed the slmodemd package, but now I don't know how to install
the slmodemd utlity. ModemData.txt don't cover this part of the procedure.
Can you help me?
Thanks, bye.


Emanuele
