Dawitt, You have two possibilities one with SLMODEMD.gcc4.2.tar.gz, which I would try first: Support type needed or chipset: slmodemd An ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) modem driver: snd-ali5451 provides Low Level support enabling contact with the modem hardware. For all BUT Conexant chip soft modems (using hsfmodem software) complementary High Level support is through a Smartlink utility: slmodemd Download from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/ the package SLMODEMD.gcc4.2.tar.gz having a compiled slmodemd. Unpack under Linux with: $ tar zxf SLMODEMD.gcc4.2.tar.gz and read instructions therein. But briefly, the modem is setup with command: sudo slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY --alsa -shw:0,1 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. and another with slamr + ungrab-winmodem. Try this one first and report back. Regards, Antonio On 1/3/09, Cruising Eagle <yemejemeria@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > >
