Frank In principle 0x10573057 is supported. A first step is to install the sl-modem-daemon package . At http://packages.ubuntu.com/ used the Search window with sl-modem-daemon package sl-modem-source is not necessary. as the driver is hte already on board snd-hda-intel, audio+modem driver Under Linux with the package copied to your home folder, install with: $ sudo dpkg -i sl*.deb This will activate the modem, which should then be detected with: $ sudo wvdialconf This is a first functionality check on the modem itself. Activation will be automatic on subsequent bootups However there is a question as to whether UNDER Linux, the slmodemd helper + snd-intel-hda driver does provide for fax functionality. I am in fact doubful However there is a package faxing.tar.gz at http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ which can provide some guidance. But the outstanding problem is that this modem uses ports in the nwer /dev/pts/N family. And I am not certain that they have evolved to the point of having the necessary SOUND support for faxing under Linux. If you need really robust FAX support, best purchase one of the Controller Chipset (hardware) modems See below, Please send further requests to the List, whereat there may be more FAX expertise than I have. MarvS ============== Controller chipsets are used in the most expensive modems and are supported. They utilize the same serial drivers included with kernel+module installations, and most commonly one of the ports /dev/ttyS0_thru_3. Such chipsets are produced by 3Com, AgereSystems (the Venus chipset), Topic Semiconductor Corp., and others. But the same companies may produce unsupported WinModems. Do not depend on the Brand Name. Look for an explicit statement of Linux support On Wed, Feb 9, 2011 at 7:50 PM, Frank M Dexter <fmdexter@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi everyone, ÂI need to get the modem working so I can send and receive > faxes.
