Shimon, You have done the following right? The modem is supported by the Smartlink plus the slmodemd helper utility. Read the DOCs/Smartlink.txt and Modem/DOCs/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance. For 2.6.18.8.tex5 compiling drivers is necessary. As of October 2007 the current packages at http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/ are the ungrab-winmodem-20070505.tar.gz and slmodem-2.9.11-20080126.tar.gz If you have not download ungrab-winmodem-20080126.tar.gz and slmodem-2.9.11-20080126 since your kernel is < 2.6.25 or so. extract them with $ tar -zxvf slmodem-2.9.11-20080126.tar.gz $ cd slmodem-2.9.11-20080126 $ make KERNEL_DIR=/lib/modules/2.6.18.8.tex5/build $ make $ su passwd: # make install # tar -zxvf ungrab-winmodem-20080126.tar.gz # cd ungrab-winmodem-20080126 # make # make install # exit $ su - passwd: # modprobe ungrab-winmodem # modprobe slamr # slmodemd -c USA /dev/slamr0 Try that and report back. Then also look at the fax documentation which is provided in newer slmodem-2.9.11.X.tar.gz packages.
