John, This is what I sent you last time. ================================================================= John, scanModem reports that your modem is supported in principle by SLMODEMD. The audio card hosts a softmodem chip: 0x10573057 The softmodem chip 0x10573057 is in principle supported by the COMM support of slmodemd Download: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/SLMODEMD_gcc4.3_alsa1.0.17.tar.gz Unpack under Linux with: $ tar zxf SLMODEMD_gcc4.3_alsa1.0.17.tar.gz and read instructions therein. Briefly, the modem is setup with command: sudo slmodemd -c USA --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 Marv, Looks like a bug in new scanModem ===> scanModem update of: 2009_04_28 It did not generate the instructions for SLMODEMD.gcc4.3-alsa-1.0.17.tar.gz correctly? =============================================================== On Wed, May 13, 2009 at 3:03 PM, John Bubon <jmb8000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Antonio Olivares wrote: >> >> John, >> >> scanModem reports that your modem is supported in principle by SLMODEMD. >> >> The audio card hosts a softmodem chip: 0x10573057 >> >> The softmodem chip 0x10573057 is in principle supported by the COMM >> support of slmodemd >> >> Download: >> >> >> http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/SLMODEMD_gcc4.3_alsa1.0.17.tar.gz >> >> Unpack >> under Linux with: >> $ tar zxf SLMODEMD_gcc4.3_alsa1.0.17.tar.gz >> and read instructions therein. >> >> Briefly, the modem is setup with command: >> sudo slmodemd -c USA --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 >> >> Marv, >> >> Looks like a bug in new scanModem ===> scanModem update of: 2009_04_28 >> >> It did not generate the instructions for >> SLMODEMD.gcc4.3-alsa-1.0.17.tar.gz correctly? >> >> On Fri, May 1, 2009 at 12:32 PM, John Bubon <jmb8000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> >>> >>> Please help me find a driver for my modem. >>> >>> Only plain text email is forwarded by the Discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx List >>> Server, >>> as HTML can contain viruses.
