I have an Intel 536EP modem that I'm trying to get working. The drivers load, and work fine, but the modem is behaving strangely- it is very slow to respond to commands. For example, when using wvdial, it will 'hang' at 'Sending ATZ' for a good 5 seconds before continuing on. It will then proceed to dial, but there will be other problems, such as refusing to disconnect, and the modem then being unable to dial out anymore for that boot. While the modem does work partially, wvdial does not detect it. I also cannot find any sort of errors in the dmesg output. As a result, vgetty does not work either, giving a 'timeout while reading char from modem'. I would really like to get the voice function going- lately we've been swamped with fake credit card telemarketing scams... I thought I'd have the modem play the 'disconnected line' tone when the telemarketers call. Thougts/help appreciated. Bjorn.
