Arkady, With respect to: Communication controller: Rockwell International HCF 56k Data/Fax/Voice/Spkp " CLASS=0780 PCIDEV=127a:1025 SUBSYS=122d:4025 support of driver packages from www.linuxant.com ceased a couple of years ago, so it is doubtful that the modem can be made to function under more current 3.16.* kernels. In principle one of your HDA audio cards might host a Smartlink subsystem chip. these lines: ------- /etc/modprobe.d/sl-modem.conf:install slamr /sbin/modprobe -qb ungrab-winmodem; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install slamr; test -e /dev/slamr0 && (chmod 660 /dev/slamr0 && chgrp dialout /dev/slamr0) || (/bin/mknod -m 660 /dev/slamr0 c 242 0 2>/dev/null && chgrp dialout /dev/slamr0) /etc/modprobe.d/sl-modem.conf:install slusb /sbin/modprobe -qb ungrab-winmodem; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install slusb; test -e /dev/slusb0 && (chmod 660 /dev/slusb0 && chgrp dialout /dev/slusb0) || (/bin/mknod -m 660 /dev/slusb0 c 243 0 2>/dev/null && chgrp dialout /dev/slusb0) -------- show that you have installed an sl-modem support package. But if a Smartlink chip were present, there would be a further symbolic link like: /dev/ttySL0 --> /dev/SomeNumber This could be tested with: $ ls -l /dev/ttySL0 but I expect you will not find the hoped for link. More generally, modem usage is today nearly obsolete. Best try to use some alternater COMM mode, such as wireless to some router on the Internet. If a modem is your only option, an external USB modem which uses Open Source Linux drivers is your best option. However it is too ofter not obvious what requisite drivers are from add on modems, which allege to support Linux. So make sure that you can return such a bought modem, if it does not serve.
