Kam, scanModem reports that your modem is supported through slmodem-2.9.11 code: Predictive diagnostics for card in bus 00:13.0: Modem chipset detected on NAME="Modem: Motorola SM56 Data Fax Modem " CLASS=0703 PCIDEV=1057:3052 SUBSYS=1057:3020 IRQ=9 IDENT=slamr For candidate modem in: 00:13.0 0703 Modem: Motorola SM56 Data Fax Modem Primary device ID: 1057:3052 Support type needed or chipset: slamr 1057:3052 has a Motorola chipset, poorly supported by Motorola itself However Zello discovered that drivers written to support Smartlink modems do support the 1057:3052 chipset!! It sufficed to add 1057:3052 to the list of modem cards recognized by the Smartlink slamr driver. There is a ungrab-winmodem driver used in conjunction with slamr, which must have 1057:3052 similarly added. See messages from Zello: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-seventh/msg00846.html http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-seventh/msg00848.html and Alvaro Aguirre about the ungrab-winmodem fix: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-seventh/msg00990.html For general guidance on ungrab-winmodem + slamr usage, read the DOCs/Smartlink.txt The modem is supported by the Smartlink plus the slmodemd helper utility. Read the DOCs/Smartlink.txt and Modem/DOCs/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance. For kernels 2.6.31 the slamr driver is not (yet) functional, failing within at the Carrier Check function. Thus for service, retain a 2.6.30 or earlier kernel. For Ubuntu users this can be done by downloading the kernel from http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/linux-image-2.6.28-16-generic and from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/Ubuntu/ the slamr-2.6.28-16-generic.tar.gz For 2.6.18-164.15.1.el5 compiling drivers is necessary. As of October 2007 the current packages at http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/ are the ungrab-winmodem-20070505.tar.gz and slmodem-2.9.11-20080126.tar.gz Writing DOCs/Smartlink.txt You may read DOCs/Smartlink.txt for more information. Do download: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/ are the ungrab-winmodem-20070505.tar.gz and slmodem-2.9.11-20080126.tar.gz $ tar -zxvf slmodem-2.9.11-20080126.tar.gz $ cd slmodem-2.9.11-20080126 $ make KERNEL_VER=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build $ make $ su -c 'make install' $ tar -zxvf ungrab-winmodem-20070505.tar.gz $ su - passwd: # cd ungrab-winmodem-20070505 # make # make install # exit $ su - passwd: # modprobe ungrab-winmodem # modprobe slamr # slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY /dev/slamr0 then open up another terminal shell $ su - passwd: # wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf will scan and hopefully find /dev/ttySL0 as the modem port all that remains is edit /etc/wvdial.conf as root user and remove ";" and add username, password, ISP phone number and a line "Carrier Check = no" to it. Attempt to dialout and see if you can connect. If you can connect , but cannot browse add the nameserver to /etc/resolv.conf and save it. You may also download latest packages (don't know if they will compile with 2.6.18-? kernel). Should you encounter difficulties, let us know and we'll try to help.
