Clive, scanModem reports that your modem is supported through SLMODEMD drivers: Predictive diagnostics for card in bus 00:1b.0: Modem chipset detected on NAME="Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H " CLASS=0403 PCIDEV=8086:284b SUBSYS=103c:30cc IRQ=22 HDA2=00:1b.0 SOFT=8086:284b.HDA HDAchipVendorID=1057 CHIP=0x10573055 IDENT=slmodemd SLMODEMD_DEVICE=hw:0,6 Driver=snd-hda-intel For candidate modem in: 00:1b.0 0403 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H Primary device ID: 8086:284b Subsystem PCI_id 103c:30cc Softmodem codec or chipset from diagnostics: 0x10573055 from Archives: The HDA card softmodem chip is 0x10573055 Support type needed or chipset: slmodemd supporting the snd-hda-intel audio+modem driver An ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) modem driver: snd-hda-intel provides Low Level support enabling contact with the modem hardware. For all BUT Conexant chip soft modems (using hsfmodem software) complementary High Level support is through a Smartlink utility: slmodemd Download from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/ the package SLMODEMD_gcc4.4_alsa1.0.21.tar.gz having a compiled slmodemd. Unpack under Linux with: $ tar zxf SLMODEMD_gcc4.4_alsa1.0.21.tar.gz and read instructions therein. But briefly, the modem is setup with command: sudo slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY --alsa hw:0,6 reporting dynamic creation of ports: /dev/ttySL0 --> /dev/pts/N , with N some number Read DOCs/Smartlink.txt and Modem/DOCs/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance. Since that package might exist yet? If you can get a working connection somehow, please follow the following advice: /****************************************************************** Since you are running Ubuntu, a longer term solution for you is to install the package sl-modem-daemon from http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=sl-modem-daemon&searchon=names&suite=maverick§ion=all Install it under Ubuntu with: $ sudo dpkg -i sl-*.deb If you have an alternate Internet connection, it would suffice to: $ sudo apt-get upgrade $ sudo apt-get install sl-modem-daemon The package provides slmodemd and scripts to setup the modem upon bootup. /****************************************************************** After installing the package above or the other alternative, leave slmodemd running and run $ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf and hopefully it finds modem port /dev/ttySL0. Edit file /etc/wvdial.conf and remove the ";" and add username, ISP phone number and password along with a line "Carrier Check = no" to that file. Then attempt a dialout with $ sudo wvdial Regards, Antonio Regards, Antonio On 12/14/10, JONES clive j <cjay@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > >
