Hi everyone!

I wanted to add a fax server to my linux notebook but I don't
understand the ModemData.txt ...

Please help me :-) - thank you!

Nice greetings from Germany,

CPU=x86_64,  Welcome ,  ALSA_version=1.0.20
Linux version 2.6.31.5-0.1-desktop (geeko@buildhost) (gcc version 4.4.1 [gcc-4_4-branch revision 150839] (SUSE Linux) ) #1 SMP PREEMPT 2009-10-26 15:49:03 +0100

/etc/lsb-release not found


Presently install your Linux Distributions dkms package. It provides for automated driver updates,
following upgrade of your kernel.  For details see http://linux.dell.com/projects.shtml#dkms


Some modem drivers can only be used in 32 bit modem on x86_64 systems,
while some others are competent on x86_64 Systems.  Cases are:
1) http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-seventh/msg03119.html 
for the snd-hda-intel audio+modem driver. Also applicable to AC97 modem controllers.
In both cases, 32 bit libraries must be installed to support the slmodemd helper having a precompiled 32 bit component.
2) For USB modems using the slusb.ko driver. 32 bit libraries must be installed to support the slmodemd helper having a precompiled 32 bit component
3) The hsfmodem and hcfpcimodem drivers for Conexant chipsest modes are x86_64 competent.
4) agrsm packages for LSI/AgereSystems softmodems are not competent on x86_64 systems.

 There are no blacklisted modem drivers in /etc/modprobe*  files 

 Potentially useful modem drivers now loaded are:
       snd_hda_intel           

Attached USB devices are:
 ID 04a9:10b5 Canon, Inc. 
 ID 045e:0047 Microsoft Corp. IntelliMouse Explorer 3.0
 ID 046d:c309 Logitech, Inc. Internet Keyboard
If a cellphone is not detected, see http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-878554.html
A sample report is:  http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-nineth/msg00578.html

If a USB modem or cellphone is attached and was not detected, please
provide available information in your request to discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Candidate PCI devices with modem chips are:
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03)
High Definition Audio cards can host modem chips.

For candidate card in slot 00:1b.0, firmware information and bootup diagnostics are:

 The PCI slot 00:1b.0 of the modem card may be disabled early in 
 a bootup process,  but then enabled later. If modem drivers load 
 but the  modem is not responsive, read DOCs/Bootup.txt about possible fixes.
 Send dmesg.txt along with ModemData.txt to discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
 if help is needed.
 


===== Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) diagnostics ===== 
The ALSA packages provide audio support and also drivers for some modems.
ALSA diagnostics are written during bootup to /proc/asound/ folders.

The modem cards detected by "aplay -l"  are: None


The /proc/asound/pcm file reports:
-----------------------
00-00: ALC268 Analog : ALC268 Analog : playback 1 : capture 1
00-02: ALC268 Analog : ALC268 Analog : capture 1
00-03: INTEL HDMI : INTEL HDMI : playback 1

about /proc/asound/cards:
------------------------
 0 [Intel          ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel
                      HDA Intel at 0xf4800000 irq 21

 PCI slot 00:1b.0 has a High Definition Audio Card
 The drivers are in the kernel modules tree at:
 /lib/modules/2.6.31.5-0.1-desktop/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko

 The HDA diagnostics did not recognize a modem chip on the audio subsystem,
 though a Conexant chip modem might not be recognized.

=== Finished firmware and bootup diagnostics, next deducing cogent software. ===

A candidate modem is not transparent among the PCI devices:

0e:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8169 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 10)
------------------------------------------------
 with USB, bridge, and RAM devices not displayed.
If a High Definition Audio card is present, if might be hosted on the Subsystem.

If your modem is an
   external USB type,
   connected by an external serial cable,
   or mounted internally on an ISA card,
then scanModem would not access it. 

Try with Root permission
 $  wvdialconf  /etc/wvdial.conf
 to detect these modem types and some USB modems.
 If the detection is successful, read the DOCs/wvdial.txt .
 Edit the /etc/wvdial.conf with Root permission:
 	  gedit  /etc/wvdial.conf
  will be able to dial out with Root permission:
	 wvdial

 Many modems for which scanModem fails have Conexant chips. 
 From http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/modemident.php
 get the ListModem tool, which will report on Conexant chipset modems

 If the above tests fail, please provide any independent information available on your modem.
 If an alternative boot into Microsoft windows can be done, do mouse
clicks on:
   Start > Settings > Control Panel > Classical View (for Window XP) > System
> Hardware > Device Manager > Modems > Click on the + > Modem. Double click to
expand the graphic. Manufacturer information may be displayed. For example, CXT
stands for Conexant. Click the Diagnostics Tab. Record any hardware ID or vendor
and device information. From the Driver Details TAB, copy out the VENdor and DEVice information.
Next do the Query Modem and record the ATI specifications displayed such as:
    ATI3 - Agere SoftModem Version 2.1.22
    ATI5 - 2.1.22, AMR Intel MB, AC97 ID:SIL REV:0x27
Try to identify the modem setup file, with name perhaps MODEM.INF.
If may contain chipset Vendor informaton.

Support type needed or chipset:	

Support can likely be achieved through two mutually exclusive alternatives:
1) The hsfmodem software for Conexant chipset modems: Read DOCs/Conexant.txt
The following ALSA alternative CANNOT work with Conexant modems.

2) An ALSA modem driver plus slmodemd.  Read DOCs/Smartlink.txt for details, and
to test get the package SLMODEMD_gcc4.4_alsa1.0.20.tar.gz from:
	http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/


 The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev

 Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.4.1
             and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.4

 linux-headers-2.6.31.5-0.1-desktop resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!

 If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
	 kernel-source-2.6.31.5-0.1-desktop


If a driver compilation fails, with message including some lack of some FileName.h (stdio.h for example), then
Some additional kernel-header files need installation to /usr/include. The minimal additional packages are libc6-dev
and any of its dependents, under Ubuntu linux-libc-dev

If an alternate ethernet connection is available,
$  apt-get update
$  apt-get -s install linux-kernel-devel
will install needed packages.
For Debian/Ubuntu related distributions, run the following command to display the needed package list:

Otherwise packages have to be found through http://packages.ubuntu.com
Once downloaded and transferred into a Linux partition,
they can be installed alltogether with:
$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb


Checking pppd properties:
	-rwxr-xr-x 1 root dialout 362672 2009-10-19 20:30 /usr/sbin/pppd

In case of an "error 17" "serial loopback" problem, see:
    http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/linmodems/archive-sixth/msg02637.html

To enable dialout without Root permission do:
	$ su - root  (not for Ubuntu)
         chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
or under Ubuntu related Linuxes
	 chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd

In case of a message like:
   Warning: Could not modify /etc/ppp/pap-secrets: Permission denied
see http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-sixth/msg04656.html

For guidance on FAX usage, get from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/  get faxing.tar.gz
It has samples for a modem using port /dev/ttySL0, which must be changed to match your modem's port.

Read Modem/DOCs/YourSystem.txt concerning other COMM channels: eth0 eth1 wlan0 wmaster0
Which can interfere with Browser naviagation.

 Don't worry about the following, it is for experts should trouble shooting be necessary.
