Jean-Christophe,
1-That you hear no sound is normal: slmodem does not support sound.
2-The wvdial output would definitely help, Here is how to get it. With
computers, as you certainly know, there always exist more than one way
to do something, Try this one:
Open a new command window (terminal, console)
Open an editor in that window,
Go to the wvdial window, launch wvdial and let it terminate (or stop
doing anything, which is the case when the connection works well).
Bring your mouse cursor to the beginning of the part of the screen
which you wish to copy.
Press the left button and move the mouse to the end of the part of the
screen which etc...
What you want to copy is black.
Release the left button.
Move the cursor to the editor window.
Press the middle button of the mouse: the text is copied in the editor
window.
Save the editor window with any name such as wvdial.output.txt (try
not to forget txt)
Exit the editor
Attach the file to your mail.

RE: > As I wrote, I 'm still using the 2.9.9 version
From http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/ download the
SLMODEMD.gcc4.1.tar.gz
Under Linux unpack it with:
tar zxf SL*.tar.gz
Move into the new folder
cd SLMODEMD.gcc4.1
Look around
ls
Acquire root status
su root
If necessary, kill any running slmodemd with:
/etc/init.d/sl-modem-daemon stop
cp slmodemd /usr/sbin/slmodemd
Check the version
slmodemd --version
if should now show 2.9.11
OK
Activate the modem:
/etc/init.d/sl-modem-daemon start
You should try an ordinary dialout before testing fax, setting up the
/etc/wvdial.conf file as previously described,
AND adding a line
Carrier Check = no
to /etc/wvdial.conf
DONE
But, when I try :
# wvdial
I get systematically NO DIALTONE (even I am connected on the analogic
line) and Icannot ear any modem sounds.
I don't know how join to you the result of the command wvdial in a
file but I copy here the wvdial.conf file if could help :
[Dialer Defaults]
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
ISDN = 0
New PPPD = yes
Phone = 0860905019
Modem = /dev/ttySL0
Username = foo
Carrier Check = no
Password = toto
Baud = 460800
Thanks

Marv,
As I wrote, I 'm still using the 2.9.9 version
(I don't know how installing the new version ...)
Anyway, I did what you ask (connected to an analogic line) :
wvdial >>
(apparently the modem is initialized at 460 800 ?)
I received an error :
ATDT0860905019
NO CARRIER
ERROR
--> No Carrier ! Trying again.
etc...

Jean,
Once there is the modem activation with: /dev/ttySL0 -> /dev/pts/0
Leave slmodemd running and open a 2nd console or TAB to to the testing.
The modem should be found by root command
# wvdialconf
Then to prepare for a dialout
# gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
putting in your personal information and removing the symbols < > ;
Try a dialout with:
# wvdial
Note that the driver occassionally dies. Do
Ctrl-C
to kill slmodemd. Unload the driver
# modprobe -r snd-intelx0m
reload
# modprobe snd-intelx0m
and again activate the modem.
MarvS
Separately, I'll send you some info on fax usage.
