Ken, Functionality of slmodemd has been lost in the 2.6.28 kernels, and this List has no one with skills to do the fix, even if the problem is in the Open Source section of its code. Thus you may be better off choosing one of the modem (chipsets) remaining functional. Read the InfoGeneral.txt output by scanModem for options. But for a few dollars more, you could get either and internal modem or USB modem served entirely by Open Source Linux code. MarvS scanModem maintainer On Mon, Dec 28, 2009 at 4:23 PM, Keneth W.
