Giuseppe, scanModem outputs the following which will guide you through the setup process: Support type needed or chipset: agrsm Writing DOCs/Intel.txt The AgereSystems/LSI agrsm code supports compiling of a agrmodem + agrsm driver pair. One resource site is http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/ Thereat get the agrsm-howto.txt, through the compiling steps are only cogent to modems with 11c1:0260, 11c1:048c and 11c1:048f chips. They use the agrsm-20090418.tar.gz package. If your Distro uses Debian packages, also get the agrsm-tools.deb package. For AgereSystems/LSI 11c11040 chip hosted on High Definition Audio cards, your Linux Distro's dkms package should be first installed, as it directs the installation of modem specific dkms-agrsm resources. For an example of what to expect, read http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-eighth/msg03863.html The primary dkms-agrsm resource site is http://linux.zsolttech.com/linmodem/agrsm/ whereat a few differnt packaging types are available. For your convenience dkms-agrsm-CurrentVersion.deb are also available at to http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/ The .deb packages can be manually installed by: $ sudo dpkg -i dkms*.deb agrsm*.deb which will sequentially process dkms, dkms-agrsm and the agrsm-tools packages. Read the DOCs/Agrsm.txt for details. Namely, you may read and follow the instructions in the above referenced page: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-eighth/msg03863.html Regards, Antonio On 5/23/09, Giuseppe D'Amico <damicogiuseppe77@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi, I would like to know how to activate my modem, but I have no idea at > all how to do it can you help me please? thanks in advance, > Giuseppe >
