On this system it correctlyidentifies the modem as: Predictive diagnostics for card in bus 00:09.0: Modem chipset detected onNAME="Modem: Motorola SM56 Data Fax Modem "CLASS=0703PCIDEV=1057:3052SUBSYS=1057:3020IRQ=18IDENT=slamr For candidate modem in: 00:09.0 0703 Modem: Motorola SM56 Data Fax Modem Primary device ID: 1057:3052 Support type needed or chipset: slamr I looked in /dev but there is no directory /dev/modemso clearly something needs to be correctly defined. I tried to use smartlink instructions: Smartlink modem setup. ----------------------------------------------------------- The modem should setup with: sudo modprobe ungrab-winmodem sudo modprobe slamr sudo slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY /dev/slamr0 which should announce creation of ports: /dev/ttySL0 --> /dev/pts/N , N some number Specify the symbolic link /dev/ttySL0 as the port to be used bydailer software. but I got the following error: miri@ubuntu:~/Desktop$ sudo modprobe ungrab-winmodemFATAL: Module ungrab_winmodem not found. In short, I'm still missing some basic instructions and I would bevery grateful to know what I'm doing wrong.
