Hi,
I just installed parsix and did scanModem, and I have attached the
modem data. I also compiled ungrab-winmodem and slmodemd according to
the version suggested by modemdata, but I don't know how to setup the
modem.
Waiting for your guidance,
Nitin.

===== 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 1.0.14
The modem cards detected by "aplay -l" are: None
The /proc/asound/pcm file reports:
-----------------------
00-01: ALC861VD Digital : ALC861VD Digital : playback 1
00-00: ALC861VD Analog : ALC861VD Analog : playback 1 : capture 2

HDA VIA VT82xx at 0xfbdfc000 irq 23
PCI slot 04:01.0 has a High Definition Audio Card
The drivers are in the kernel modules tree at:

0703 Modem: Motorola Unknown device 3052
Primary device ID: 1057:3052
Support type needed or chipset: slamr
----------------end Softmodem section --------------
1057:3052 has a Motorola chipset, poorly supported by Motorola itself
However Zello discovered that drivers written to support Smartlink modems do support the 1057:3052 chipset!!
It sufficed to add 1057:3052 to the list of modem cards recognized by the Smartlink slamr driver.
There is a ungrab-winmodem driver used in conjunction with slamr, which must have 1057:3052
similarly added. See messages from Zello:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-seventh/msg00846.html
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-seventh/msg00848.html
and Alvaro Aguirre about the ungrab-winmodem fix:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-seventh/msg00990.html
For general guidance on ungrab-winmodem + slamr usage, read the DOCs/Smartlink.txt
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 2.6.23-parsix-15 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

High Definition Audio (HDA) cards MAY host a modem chip in their Subsystem,
and many are supported by the ALSA audio+modem driver snd-hda-intel
A modem was not detected on HDA card 1106:3288.
If another modem card is present, then most likely 1106:3288 does not host a modem.
If another modem card has not been detected, then possibilities are:
1) A Conexant modem chip is present on 1106:3288, as Conexant chips
are frequently not detectable by ALSA diagnostics
2) The modem may be of the older non-PCI Controller Chipset (hardware) type.
Try detection with Root permission:

Support can likely be achieved through two mutually exclusive alternatives:
1) The hsfmodem software for Conexant chipset modems: Read DOCs/Conexant.txt
The following ALSA alternative CANNOT work with Conexant modems.
2) An ALSA modem driver plus slmodemd. Read DOCs/Smartlink.txt for details, and
to test get the package SLMODEMD.gcc4.2.tar.gz from:

Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.2.3
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.2.3
Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
make utility - /usr/bin/make
Compiler version 4.2
linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.23-parsix-15/build
However some compilations and executable functions may need additional files,
in the FileNames.h (so called kernel "h"eaders) collection installed in /usr/include/ .
For martian_modem, additional required packages are needed. The also required headers of package libc6 are commonly installed by default.
Compiling hsfmodem drivers does require linux-libc-dev and libc6-dev packages, for kernels 2.6.24 and later versions.
In not included on your install CD, search for them at http://packages.ubuntu.com
or comparable Repository for other Linux distros.
When compiling ALSA drivers, the utility "patch" will also be needed.
Compressed files at: /usr/src/linux-wlan-ng.tar.bz2
For Debian and some related distributions, a package kernel-kbuild-2.6-23 may be needed to support driver compiling.
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
