Roby,

From your mail I understand that you have read the output of scanModem and accordingly downloaded SLMODEMD.hcc4.3.tar.gz

The instructions given by scanModem were
BEGIN
 Download from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/
 the package SLMODEMD.gcc4.3.tar.gz having a compiled slmodemd. Unpack
under Linux with:
 	$ tar zxf SLMODEMD.gcc4.3.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.
END

May I ask what you did of these instructions?
Have you done step by step what it says?
Did any problem arise?
At which step?
With which error messaages?

hi, my name is roberto.
I have a notebook I want to connect to internet using internal modem.
Actually Linux doesn't recognize the modem. I downloaded the file
"SLMODEMD.gcc4.3.tar.gz"
and I produced the following... Can you help me ?
Thank you very much

Roberto

===== 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.

The ALSA verion is 1.0.16
The modem cards detected by "aplay -l"  are:
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 6: Si3054 Modem [Si3054 Modem]

The /proc/asound/pcm file reports:
-----------------------
00-06: Si3054 Modem : Si3054 Modem : playback 1 : capture 1
00-02: ALC880 Analog : ALC880 Analog : capture 2
00-01: ALC880 Digital : ALC880 Digital : playback 1 : capture 1
00-00: ALC880 Analog : ALC880 Analog : playback 1 : capture 1

about /proc/asound/cards:

                      HDA Intel at 0xb0000000 irq 20

 PCI slot 00:1b.0 has a High Definition Audio Card
 The drivers are in the kernel modules tree at:
 /lib/modules/2.6.25.11-0.1-default/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko
 The modem codec file for the HDA card is: /proc/asound/card0/codec#1
--------------------------------------------------------
Codec: Generic 163c Si3054
Address: 1
Vendor Id: 0x163c3155
Subsystem Id: 0x163c3055
Revision Id: 0x100700
Modem Function Group: 0x1

 The audio card hosts a softmodem chip:  0x163c3155

The softmodem chip 0x163c3155 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/bigarch/archive-eighth/msg00838.html

If not a Conexant modem, the driver snd-hda-intel with its dependent drivers:
snd_hda_intel         374172  1
snd_pcm                87812  2 snd_pcm_oss,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.

 An ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) modem driver:  agrmodem+agrserial

 For all BUT Conexant chip soft modems (using hsfmodem software)
 complementary High Level support is through a Smartlink utility:  slmodemd

 Completed candidate modem analyses.

 The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev

 The kernel was compiled with gcc version 4.3.1 and a compiler is not installed

 linux-headers-2.6.25.11-0.1-default resources needed for compiling
are not manifestly ready!

 If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
	gcc-4.3 make kernel-source-2.6.25.11-0.1-default


If a driver compilation fails, with message including some lack of
some FileName.h (stdio.h for example), then
Some additional kernel-header files need installation to /usr/include.
The minimal additional packages are libc6-dev
and any of its dependents, under Ubuntu linux-libc-dev

If an alternate ethernet connection is available,
$  apt-get update
$  apt-get -s install linux-kernel-devel
will install needed packages.
For Debian/Ubuntu related distributions, run the following command to
display the needed package list:

Otherwise packages have to be found through http://packages.ubuntu.com
Once downloaded and transferred into a Linux partition,
they can be installed alltogether with:
$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb

In case of an "error 17" "serial loopback" problem, see:

To enable dialout without Root permission do:
