Victor,
scanModem reports that you need SLMODEMD.gcc4.2.tar.gz, did you get it
from smartlink section of LinModems?
you should try
$ sudo slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY --alsa hw:0,1_or_hw:0,6
instead of what you tried
# slmodemd --country=GERMANY /dev/slusb0
error: mdm setup: cannot open dev `/dev/slusb0': No such device
error: cannot setup device `/dev/slusb0'
Unless of course, that your modem is a USB modem supported by slusb0
instead of the slamr0, which the warning above is true.
Predictive diagnostics for card in bus 00:1b.0:
Modem chipset detected on
NAME="Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H "
CLASS=0403
PCIDEV=8086:284b
SUBSYS=17aa:384e
IRQ=22
HDA=8086:284b
SOFT=8086:284b.HDA
ArchivedChip=0x10573055
IDENT=slmodemd
For candidate modem in: 00:1b.0
0403 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H
Primary device ID: 8086:284b
Subsystem PCI_id 17aa:384e
Softmodem codec or chipset from diagnostics:
from Archives: 0x10573055
Support type needed or chipset: slmodemd
An ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) modem driver:
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
Please do this *
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:
sudo slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY --alsa hw:0,1_or_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.
Report back if SLMODEMD.gcc4.2.tar.gz works with the modem.
Regards,
Antonio
