Yuly,
May I suggest that you study
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/archive-fourth/msg02594.html ?
The person named Sasha there is the author of the various versions of
slamr/slmodem.
The document is old so if you try to reproduce what Owen did you should
of course not use the now obsolete softwares which he used but the
versions matching your kernel.
Perhaps the most significant contribution made to Linmodems by Sasha is
the Smartlink and compatible chipset driver using ALSA which frees the
application from copyrighted software.
But it may happen that the open ALSA driver does not (yet?) work with
some chipset.
IF YOU SUCCEED PLEASE LET US KNOW.
Important remark: your SM56, as you know, is a Winmodem. If you consider
serious FAXing, this is not the right hardware. Consider buying a
hardware controlled modem.

Thank you very much for the quick response.
If i understand you correctly, I'm out of luck ? :(
Read carefully what I posted. You are in uncharted territory.
Don't know whenever it is the relevant place to ask, Is there any
kind of work performed in this direction? Anything i can help with?
Not that I know off, but you are trying to get it to work. I don't
know, I wish I knew more, but from past experience. The driver is for
32 bit linux, and I know you can make it work there. But in 64 bit
linux, I have no expertise or have heard success stories. Hope Marv,
or Ahmed can guide you better.

Antonio

Yuly,
You got the right packages, but they are known to work only on 32 bit
linux, not 64 bit :(, I don't know how to advise? I will attach
relevant output of scanModem,
Predictive diagnostics for card in bus 09:01.0:
Modem chipset detected on
NAME="Modem: Motorola SM56 Data Fax Modem "
CLASS=0703
PCIDEV=1057:3052
SUBSYS=1057:3020
IRQ=16
IDENT=slamr
For candidate modem in: 09:01.0
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
There is a package sl-modem-source providing a source code the modem driver ,
If can be searched for at http://pacakge.ubuntu.com. After
downloading install under Linux with:
$ sudo dpkg -i sl*.deb
If DKMS support installed, driver updates with kernel updates will be
automatically done.
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 2.6.34 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
============ end Smartlink section =====================
Does not mention that slamr.ko is only good for 32 bit and not 64 bit
linux. It is different from the slusb.ko for 64 bit here:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/slusb64bit.txt
You are in unchartered territory, and I would like to advice you, I
don't know how. I have experience with martian_modem for some Agere
Lucent Winmodems,and with smartlink modems but only in 32 bit :(
You have successfully done the following: ?
$ su -
passwd:
# modprobe slamr
# modprobe ungrab-winmodem
provided you also compiled ungrab-winmodem? and then
# slmodemd -c CANADA /dev/slamr0
Hope to get more information as this is unheard of for smartlink modems.
Regards,
Antonio
CC'ing also original maintainer of slmodem code? Sasha K.
Maybe there is some new information that will make the modem work in 64 bit?

Hello,
Attached is ModemData.txt.
Basically, I'm trying to setup SM56 modem on 64b system.
Tried all packages at http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/
All but last ,slmodem-2.9.11-20100718.tar.gz , failed to compile.
The slmodem-2.9.11-20100718.tar.gz compile is good but does not
compile slamr module as it is not 64b compatible.
Can anyone please advice?
Thanks,
Yuly
