Ouch ! I came to appreciate 64-bit tools (I am a statistician, among other things...). A modem is part of my "useful to have" list, but not on the "essentials" one... > However, there may be plans to move this proprietary core from the > kernel modules to an external helper (as was done with the martian > package for LTModems) Therefore I'll wait for this.

Done that. > --Marv, doesn't scanmodem do a cat on the codec#1 file to check for this? I did it by hand... By the way, further googling showed that contacts were made with LSI (Agere spinoff) about Linux support for this godd*mn*d 11C1:1040 device, and that they made nice noises about some future suport in the ALSA snd-hda-intel device (née hda-codec). Any news on this front ? Sincerely yours, Emmanuel Charpentier
