Hi Antonio and Marvin:
My Motorola modem seemed to install, and modprobe ungrab-winmodem, followed
by modprobe slamr, followed by slmodemd -c NZ /dev/slamr0 produced a 'Bad
country!' warning, so I changed to USA, and /dev/ttySL0 as a symbolic link
from /dev/pts/0 seemed to be made OK.
But ls -l in /dev never showed either /dev/ttySL0 or /pts/0...
/dev/pts seemed to be always empty.
I've attached ModemData.txt.
Thanks for your help.
Sincerely,
Lee Hinkleman

0703 Modem: Motorola Unknown device 3052
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 2.6.18-6-686 compiling drivers is necessary. As of October 2007 the
current packages at
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/ are the

Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.1.2
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.1.2
Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
make utility - /usr/bin/make
Compiler version 4.1
linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.18-6-686/build
However some compilations and executable functions may need additional
files,
in the FileNames.h (so called kernel "h"eaders) collection installed in
/usr/include/ .
For martian_modem, additional required packages are needed. The also
required headers of package libc6 are commonly installed by default.
Compiling hsfmodem drivers does require linux-libc-dev and libc6-dev
packages, for kernels 2.6.24 and later versions.
In not included on your install CD, search for them at
http://packages.ubuntu.com
or comparable Repository for other Linux distros.
When compiling ALSA drivers, the utility "patch" will also be needed.
Compressed files at: /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.18.tar.bz2
For Debian and some related distributions, a package kernel-kbuild-2.6-18
may be needed to support driver compiling.
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

It has samples for a modem using port /dev/ttySL0, which must be changed to
match your modem's port.

be necessary.
