Dante, Rerun scanModem. If you are using the former slmodemd, it might not be the version optimal to your new Ubuntu installation. You want to match both the gcc and ALSA versions. Report this information later.

Upgrading to 8.10 fixed this problem, but I'm still unable to get my modem to actually connect. The modem initializes without incident, all the output seems normal, and the modem can even begin the dialing process without any problem - but when the modem actually begins the "handshaking process," something extremely weird happens. I can't say in technical terms what's actually going on, but having listened in on the dial-in sequence, I know that after the preliminary connection is established, my modem abruptly goes haywire: instead of making the typical screechy noises we've all come to know and love, it starts, for lack of a better term, "clacking." It almost sound like it's trying to make rotary phone noises, rather than standard tone-based > sounds; whatever it's doing, however, it definitely isn't speaking the language that most modems I know do. Needless to say, the second it starts producing this clacking-jibberish, the remote machine kills the connection, and the line goes dead within seconds. > Any thoughts as to what's going on here? > > Thanks very much, > Dante > > > ¡Sé el Bello 51 de People en Español! ¡Es tu oportunidad de Brillar!
