Re: FaxModem US Robotics

Marv,
The US Robotics Web site writes that the modem is definitely NOT Linux compatible, and in fact comes with several drivers for flavours of Windows.
That's why I suggested to Jacques to look at the Windows response to ATI's.
This, by the way, would also help identifying a Conexant internal PCI.

Jacques,
Again if you have Windows, Control Panel->System etc... leads to a menu of hardware. Look there under Modems (expand by clicking the + sign) to see how many you have.

                                                   Jacques

Delaj,

If
0baf:6112 U.S. Robotics FaxModem Model 5633
is your only modem, try detecting it with:
$ sudo wvdialconf  /etc/wvdial.conf

If there is also an internal modem, it is probably a Conexnant type in
the SUbsystem of:
  Class 0403: 8086:284b Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H
     Primary device ID:  8086:284b
   Subsystem PCI_id  103c:2a36
Then under Ubuntu 2.6.22-14-generic, it would be supported following
the instructions in Conexnant.txt
 From  http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads-ubuntu-x86.php
 download hsfmodem-7.68.00.07full_k2.6.22_14_generic_ubuntu_i386.deb.zip
 Under Linux unpack with:
 $ unzip hsfmodem*.zip
 Then install with:
 $ sudo dpkg -i hsfmodem*.deb
 Subsequently, the modem should be found with
 $ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
 Edit in your personal information with:
 $ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
 and try dialing out with:
 $ sudo wvdial.

Please report back presently.

  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.

 Next do the Query Modem and record the ATI specifications displayed such
 as:
    ATI3 - Agere SoftModem Version 2.1.22

  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

 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,

 ============ 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
