Ekkehard,
scanModem reports what you have written, however the driver that you
need is slamr which works well for 32 bit linux not 64 bit one :(
(slmodemd + alsa) does not serve this modem, that is why you see the errors.
Predictive diagnostics for card in bus 04:07.0:
Modem chipset detected on
NAME="Modem: Smart Link Ltd. SmartPCI2800 V.92 PCI Soft DFT "
CLASS=0703
PCIDEV=2000:2800
SUBSYS=122d:2800
IRQ=22

HDA2=01:05.1
IDENT=slamr
For candidate modem in: 04:07.0
0703 Modem: Smart Link Ltd. SmartPCI2800 V.92 PCI Soft DFT
Primary device ID: 2000:2800
Support type needed or chipset: slamr
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
It is preferable to install the dkms package first.
With 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 2.6.35-25-generic 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 =====================
To get the modem working you would need 32 bit linux, unless you are
willing to experiment and see if you can get it to work?, the driver
slamr.ko and ungrab-winmodem.ko need to be part of the system and
there have been no success reports for 64 bit versions of linux.
Regards,
Antonio
