Joe, Do as scanModem suggests <quote> Download from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/ the package SLMODEMD.gcc4.1.tar.gz having a compiled slmodemd. Unpack under Linux with: $ tar zxf SLMODEMD.gcc4.1.tar.gz and read instructions therein. But briefly, the modem is setup with command: slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY --alsa hw:0,6 reporting dynamic creation of ports: /dev/ttySL0 --> /dev/pts/N , with N some number Read Smartlink.txt and Modem/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance. </quote> Regards, Antonio ----- Original Message ---- From: Joe Zeitouny <joezeitouny@xxxxxxxxx> To: discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, May 15, 2008 2:42:21 PM Subject: Joe Zeitouny, Lebanon Only plain text email is forwarded by the Discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx List Server, as HTML can contain viruses.

The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.1.2 and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.1.2 linux-headers-2.6.18.2-34-default resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready! If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing: kernel-source-2.6.18.2-34-default 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 Checking pppd properties: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root dialout 295488 2006-11-25 21:50 /usr/sbin/pppd In case of an "error 17" "serial loopback" problem, see: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/linmodems/archive-sixth/msg02637.html To enable dialout without Root permission do: $ su - root (not for Ubuntu) chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd or under Ubuntu related Linuxes chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd Checking settings of: /etc/ppp/options noipdefault noauth crtscts lock modem asyncmap 0 nodetach lcp-echo-interval 30 lcp-echo-failure 4 lcp-max-configure 60 lcp-restart 2 idle 600 noipx file /etc/ppp/filters In case of a message like: Warning: Could not modify /etc/ppp/pap-secrets: Permission denied see http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-sixth/msg04656.html Read Modem/YourSystem.txt concerning other COMM channels: eth0 eth1 Which can interfere with Browser naviagation.
