Jim,
For candidate modem in: 00:1f.6
0703 Modem: Intel Corporation 82801CA/CAM AC'97 Modem Controller
Primary device ID: 8086:2486
Subsystem PCI_id 134d:4c21
Softmodem codec or chipset from diagnostics: SIL21, a Pctel type
But all,pst AC'97 Class modems are electonically similar regard of
SIL designation and are supported under Linux by:
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 modem:1
reporting dynamic creation of ports:
/dev/ttySL0 --> /dev/pts/N , with N some number
Write back if you need further help. It is only arcane the first time.
