Cruising Eagle,
On your particular system,
00-00: ALI 5451 : ALI 5451 : playback 32 : capture 1
is most likely just a sound card (though sometimes it can host a modem)
and
0703 Modem: ALi Corporation M5457 AC'97 Modem Controller
Primary device ID: 10b9:5457
is the only modem
Which may be supported through:
Download from
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/Ubuntu/
the slamr-2.6.24-21-generic.tar.gz
Under Linux, unpack with:
$ tar zxf slam*.tar.gz
Move into the new folder:
$ cd slamr-2.6.24-21-generic
Browse the files and run:
$ sudo ./setup
This is one of the modems most troublesome to support under Linux and
problems may be encountered.
