Re: Modem Driver

John,

scanModem recommends SLMODEMD.gcc4.2.tar.gz


Support type needed or chipset:    slmodemd supporting the snd-hda-intel audio+modem driver

An ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) modem driver:  snd-hda-intel
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:
     slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY --alsa hw:0,6
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.

Regards,

Antonio
