BCC to: Sasha Khapyorsky, original slmodem coder Perhaps you can suggest a permanent fix to the below slusb problem: > modem `slusb0' created.

Cary is completely dependent on modems in Cuba, to get on the Internet under Linux. Cary, While I have no intuition on this problem, you might try a short script named: ulimit_modem #! /bin/sh ulimit -l 8192 slmodemd -c USA /dev/slusb0 # end Make executable with: $ chmod +x ulimit_modem and test with: $ sudo ./ulimit_modem Marvin On Wed, Mar 13, 2013 at 4:06 PM, Cary Karell <karell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Dear Marv, > > Here are the results after compilling: > > $ find /lib/modules/3.5.0-17-generic -name slusb.ko > /lib/modules/3.5.0-17-generic/extra/slusb.ko > /lib/modules/3.5.0-17-generic/updates/dkms/slusb.ko > > $ ls /lib/modules/3.5.0-17-generic/updates/dkms/ > slusb.ko ungrab-winmodem.ko > > > $ lsmod | grep slusb > slusb 22107 0 > > But, > $ sudo slmodemd -c USA /dev/slusb0 > SmartLink Soft Modem: version 2.9.11 Dec 29 2011 12:14:46 > symbolic link `/dev/ttySL0' -> `/dev/pts/2' created. > modem `slusb0' created.
