Dear Marv & List Members,

Command example told you to do:
$ sudo slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY --alsa hw:0,6
Leave it running, then with another terminal open:
$ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
and hopefully it finds /dev/ttySL0 as the modem port.
Either way the package that you got says 1.20 alsa version when it
should be 1.21 as scanModem recommends:
$ tar zxf SLMODEMD_gcc4.4_alsa1.0.21.tar.gz
If someone can clarify better/easier/faster way for Benito to get his
modem working, it is greatly appreciated. I tried but maybe my
instructions were not very precise?
==================================
Benito forwarded his ModemData.txt to list, but in case it is not

===== Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) diagnostics =====
The ALSA packages provide audio support and also drivers for some modems.
ALSA diagnostics are written during bootup to /proc/asound/ folders.
The modem cards detected by "aplay -l" are:
tarjeta 0: Intel [HDA Intel], dispositivo 6: Si3054 Modem [Si3054 Modem]
The /proc/asound/pcm file reports:
-----------------------
00-00: ALC260 Analog : ALC260 Analog : playback 1 : capture 1
00-06: Si3054 Modem : Si3054 Modem : playback 1 : capture 1
about /proc/asound/cards:
------------------------
0 [Intel ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel
HDA Intel at 0xb0000000 irq 16
PCI slot 00:1b.0 has a High Definition Audio Card
The drivers are in the kernel modules tree at:
/lib/modules/2.6.32-21-generic/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko
The modem codec file for the HDA card is: /proc/asound/card0/codec#1
--------------------------------------------------------
Codec: Motorola Si3054
Address: 1
Function Id: 0x2
Vendor Id: 0x10573055
Subsystem Id: 0x10573055
Revision Id: 0x100700
Modem Function Group: 0x1
The audio card hosts a softmodem chip: 0x10573055
The softmodem chip 0x10573055 is in principle supported by the COMM
support of slmodemd
and the joint snd-hda-intel audio+modem driver, begun with ALSA
version 1.0.13.
For HDA cards with ALC883 chips, an upgrade to ALSA verions 1.0.15 way
be necessary.

Any particular card can host any one of several soft modem chips.

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

Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.4.3
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.4.3
The patch utility is needed for compiling ALSA drivers, and possibly others.
Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
make utility - /usr/bin/make
Compiler version 4.4
linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.32-21-generic/build
However some compilations and executable functions may need additional files,
in the FileNames.h (so called kernel "h"eaders) collection installed
in /usr/include/ .
For martian_modem, additional required packages are needed. The also
required headers of package libc6 are commonly installed by default.
Compiling hsfmodem drivers does require linux-libc-dev and libc6-dev
packages, for kernels 2.6.24 and later versions.
In not included on your install CD, search for them at
http://packages.ubuntu.com
or comparable Repository for other Linux distros.
When compiling ALSA drivers, the utility "patch" will also be needed.
If a driver compilation fails, with message including some lack of
some FileName.h (stdio.h for example), then
Some additional kernel-header files need installation to /usr/include.
The minimal additional packages are libc6-dev
and any of its dependents, under Ubuntu linux-libc-dev
If an alternate ethernet connection is available,
$ apt-get update
$ apt-get -s install linux-kernel-devel
will install needed packages.
For Debian/Ubuntu related distributions, run the following command to
display the needed package list:
Otherwise packages have to be found through http://packages.ubuntu.com
Once downloaded and transferred into a Linux partition,
they can be installed alltogether with:
$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb

For guidance on FAX usage, get from
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ get faxing.tar.gz
It has samples for a modem using port /dev/ttySL0, which must be
changed to match your modem's port.
Read Modem/DOCs/YourSystem.txt concerning other COMM channels: eth0
