Marv, Something is fishy here. Now it starts looking like the 11c11040 part of scanModem was true. I ran scanModem with the pci id's of the modem and I got the following: Predictive diagnostics for card in bus fake: Modem chipset detected on NAME="FakeName" CLASS=FakeClass PCIDEV=8086:284b SUBSYS=1043:1339 IRQ=fake HDA=8086:284b SOFT=8086:284b.HDA ArchivedChip=0x11c11040 IDENT=11c11040 Driver=agrmodem+agrserial DRIVER=agrmodem+agrserial For candidate modem in: fake FakeClass FakeName Primary device ID: 8086:284b Subsystem PCI_id 1043:1339 Softmodem codec or chipset from diagnostics: from Archives: 0x11c11040 I am not 100% sure here, but I had the same thing happen one time when I tried the SLMODEMD code with this type of modem(11c11040), everything seemed correct all was fine. The bad part the looping of No Carrier, like in your message. It is very strange that SLMODEMD.gcc4.tar.gz was serving and then you updated the kernel and now it does not work. Why can't you change the default behavior to have at least two working kernels so that you have something to fall back on. *This should not be the case with SLMODEMD, but this appears to be a special case* Regards, Antonio On Wed, Aug 6, 2008 at 10:38 PM, Eric <dragon.wind@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > after installing Marvin new slmodemd and > carring out Antonio instructions > > Eric, > > You might want to change > Init string here > > Put a "#" in front of the following one >> Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 > > And remove it from here. >> # Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 X3 &C1 &D2 +MS=90 > > Test out conection.
