Re: FaxModem US Robotics

Jacques,

scanModem was designed for internal PCI winmodems.
Your modem is an external USB one.
scanModem has not been able to discover what there is in it.
I have easily found the modem on the US Robotics Web site but not one word on its inside. Therefore, there is only one thing to be done, hoping that you have Windows on the same machine, or can connect the modem and install the driver on some other Windows machine. In the subdirectory named Modem where you found ModemData.txt, there is a file SoftModem.txt. Read it and do what it says: with some luck it may allow discovering which chip ("puce") is used in your modem, specially from the respone to the ATI commands.

Amicalement, bonne chance, Jacques

 If your modem is connected by an external serial cable,
 or mounted internally on an ISA card, scanModem would not access it.
 Try with Root permission
 $ sudo wvdialconf  /etc/wvdial.conf
 to detect these modem types and some USB modems.
 If the detection is successful, read the wvdial.txt .
 Edit the /etc/wvdial.conf with Root permission:
     sudo  gedit  /etc/wvdial.conf
  will be able to dial out with Root permission:
    sudo wvdial

 Many modems for which scanModem fails have Conexant chips.
 From http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/modemident.php
 get the ListModem tool, which will report on Conexant chipset modems

 If the above tests fail, please provide any independent information
available on your modem.
 If an alternative boot into Microsoft windows can be done, do mouse
clicks on:
   Start > Settings > Control Panel > Classical View (for Window XP) >
System
Hardware > Device Manager > Modems > Click on the + > Modem. Double
click
to
expand the graphic. Manufacturer information may be displayed. For
example,
CXT
stands for Conexant. Click the Diagnostics Tab. Record any hardware ID
or
vendor
and device information.
Next do the Query Modem and record the ATI specifications displayed such
as:
    ATI3 - Agere SoftModem Version 2.1.22
    ATI5 - 2.1.22, AMR Intel MB, AC97 ID:SIL REV:0x27
Try to identify the modem setup file, with name perhaps MODEM.INF.

 High Definition Audio (HDA) cards MAY host a modem chip in their

 and many are supported by the ALSA audio+modem driver snd-hda-intel
 A modem was not detected on HDA card 8086:284b.
 If another modem card is present, then most likely 8086:284b does not
host
a modem.
 If another modem card has not been detected, then possibilities are:
    1) A Conexant modem chip is present on 8086:284b, as Conexant chips
 are frequently not detectable by ALSA diagnostics
    2) The modem may be of the older non-PCI Controller Chipset
(hardware)
type.

Support can likely be achieved through two mutually exclusive
alternatives:
1) The hsfmodem software for Conexant chipset modems: Read Conexant.txt
The following ALSA alternative CANNOT work with Conexant modems.

2) An ALSA modem driver plus slmodemd.  Read Smartlink.txt for details,
and
to test get the package SLMODEMD.gcc4.1.tar.gz from:

============ end Smartlink section =====================


 The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev

 Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.1.3
             and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.1.3



 Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
   make utility - /usr/bin/make
   Compiler version 4.1
   linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/build

 However some compilations and executable functions may need additional
files,
 in the FileNames.h (so called kernel "h"eaders) collection installed in
/usr/include/ .
 For martian_modem, additional required packages are libc6-dev (and for
Debian/Ubuntu,  linux-libc-dev). The also required headers of package
libc6
are commonly installed by default. When compiling ALSA drivers, the
utility
"patch" will also be needed.



If a driver compilation fails, with message including some lack of some
FileName.h (stdio.h for example), then
Some additional kernel-header files need installation to /usr/include.
The
minimal additional packages are libc6-dev
and any of its dependents, under Ubuntu linux-libc-dev

If an alternate ethernet connection is available,
$  apt-get update
$  apt-get -s install linux-kernel-devel
will install needed package
For Debian/Ubuntu related distributions, run the following command to
display the needed package list:

Otherwise packages have to be found through http://packages.ubuntu.com
Once downloaded and transferred into a Linux partition,
they can be installed alltogether with:
$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb
