Marvin, thank you very much. Now the modem shows some reaction, but no real success: Wvdial exits with a happy "NO DIALTONE". A shot dip in phone line voltage indicates, that the modem picks up the phone, but immediately hangs it up again, before any telephone provider might have a chance to send a dialtone. The hardware seems o.k.; I am posting via the same hardware and phone line under SuSE 10.3. Fiddling with drivers (Removing oss-drivers, inserting available snd_intel_*-drivers) and wvdial.conf settings (Reduced baudrate, dial without waiting for dialtone, etc.) brought no change. Suspicious: linux-k7za:~ # slmodemd -c GERMANY --alsa hw:0,6 SmartLink Soft Modem: version 2.9.11 Aug 9 2011 14:15:04 symbolic link `/dev/ttySL0' -> `/dev/pts/2' created. modem `hw:0,6' created. TTY is `/dev/pts/2' error: sched_setscheduler: Operation not permitted Use `/dev/ttySL0' as modem device, Ctrl+C for termination. Whitch Operation?? I suspected a priority problem, invoced slmodend with nice -20, but no change. Also suspicious: linux-k7za:~ # dmesg . . [ 536.642852] hda-intel: IRQ timing workaround is activated for card #0.
