Sally, Comparisons between Vista and Linux are valueless, because the Operating Systems are so different. Please send to the List (not directly to me), The output of under your CPU=i686, Debian Linux version 2.6.24.4 $ su root Because opening COMM channels requires root permission. Then the # slmodemd -c USA --alsa hw:0,6 If it fails to report port creation, load modules that would normall be loaded, it the HDA audio were being used for sound support. Some of them may be needed for modem support. Load with: # modprobe snd-seq-device # modprobe snd-pcm-oss # modprobe snd_seq_dummy # modprobe snd-seq-oss # modprobe snd-seq-midi The others will load automatically through dependencies. Then again test. # slmodemd -c USA --alsa hw:0,6 Their may be a side benefit that audio function will be turned on.
