Byron, The ALSA diagnostics are fine. Likely all will be OK, if you just update to the slmodemd compiled with gcc-4.1 per 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 modem:1 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. Be sure to rename or delete your old /usr/sbin/slmodemd before installing the new Afterward $ slmodemd --version should report 2.9.11 MarvS On Sun, May 25, 2008 at 8:46 PM, Byron Edgar <relmoyd@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > I recently upgraded to Debian 4.0.
