Is there such a thing as figuring out where this Realtek Sound Program physically is in the Toshiba
setup, copying it on a disk, and making WINE open it to work under LINUX? Or the Toshiba Soft Modem itself?

System information ----------------------------
CPU=i686, Debian GNU/Linux lenny/sid
Linux version 2.6.24.4 (root@Knoppix) (gcc version 4.2.3 (Debian 4.2.3-2)) #2 SMP PREEMPT Tue Mar 25 21:35:28 CET 2008
scanModem update of: 2008_07_10
There are no blacklisted modem drivers in /etc/modprobe* files
USB modems not recognized
For candidate card in slot 00:14.2, firmware information and bootup diagnostics are:
PCI slot PCI ID SubsystemID Name
---------- --------- --------- --------------
00:14.2 1002:437b 1179:ff10 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB4x0 High Definition Audio Controller
Modem interrupt assignment and sharing:
17: 1082 IO-APIC-fasteoi wifi0, HDA Intel
--- Bootup diagnostics for card in PCI slot 00:14.2 ----
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:14.2[A] -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 17
===== Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) diagnostics =====
The ALSA packages provide audio support and also drivers for some modems.
ALSA diagnostics are written during bootup to /proc/asound/ folders.
PCI slot 00:14.2 has a High Definition Audio Card
The drivers are in the kernel modules tree at:
/lib/modules/2.6.24.4/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko
The ALSA verion is 1.0.16
The modem cards detected by "aplay -l" are:
card 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 6: Si3054 Modem [Si3054 Modem]
The /proc/asound/pcm file reports:
-----------------------
00-06: Si3054 Modem : Si3054 Modem : playback 1 : capture 1
00-00: ALC861VD Analog : ALC861VD Analog : playback 1 : capture 2
about /proc/asound/cards:
------------------------
0 [SB ]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI SB
HDA ATI SB at 0xc0400000 irq 17
If not a Conexant modem, the driver snd-hda-intel with its dependent drivers:
snd_hda_intel 295196 1
snd_hwdep 13572 1 snd_hda_intel
----------
provide audio + modem support with the modem chip residing on the subsystem.
Any particular card can host any one of several soft modem chips.
The modem codec file for the HDA card is: /proc/asound/card0/codec#0
--------------------------------------------------------
Codec: Generic 11c1 Si3054
Address: 0
Vendor Id: 0x11c13026
Subsystem Id: 0x11790001
Revision Id: 0x100700
Modem Function Group: 0x1
The audio card hosts a softmodem chip: 0x11c13026
The softmodem chip 0x11c13026 is in principle supported by the COMM support of slmodemd
and the joint snd-hda-intel audio+modem driver, begun with ALSA version 1.0.13.
For HDA cards with ALC883 chips, an upgrade to ALSA verions 1.0.15 way be necessary. Instructions for upgrading snd-hda-intel and its dependent driver set are at: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/archive-seventh/msg00282.html
=== Finished firmware and bootup diagnostics, next deducing cogent software. ===

Softmodem codec or chipset from diagnostics: 0x11c13026
from Archives:
The HDA card softmodem chip is 0x11c13026
Support type needed or chipset: slmodemd supporting the snd-hda-intel audio+modem driver
An ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) modem driver: snd-hda-intel
provides Low Level support enabling contact with the modem hardware.
For all BUT Conexant chip soft modems (using hsfmodem software)
complementary High Level support is through a Smartlink utility: slmodemd
Download from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/
the package SLMODEMD.gcc4.2.tar.gz having a compiled slmodemd. Unpack under Linux with:
$ tar zxf SLMODEMD.gcc4.2.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 DOCs/Smartlink.txt and Modem/DOCs/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance.
