Hello, I'm running slmodem.2.9.11-20080817 on a kernel version 2.6.24 (gNewSense) scanModem detected nVidia modem and suggested driver snd-intel8x0m which I load. I start slmodem like: sudo slmodem -c ARGENTINA -d --alsa modem:1 connection to modem from minicom or cutecom works ok for dialing and ATA, but it does not detect ring. If I start with --ringdetector the modem goes off-hook and stays like that! Any suggestion? Thanks Regards PS: BTW I had to fix ./scanModem to be able to work on gNewSense. My line 217 is now elif grep redhat /etc/issue | grep .fc[0-9] >/dev/null ; then
