Ahmed, There has never been a success under Linux with the Agere/LSI USB modems, and there never was Linux support from Agere/LSI. For the PCI card Agere modems, there was success for a few years, but it has proven to difficult to update the code (without Agere/LSI cooperation) with the ongoing evolution of the LInux kernel MarvS scanModem maintainer On Wed, Sep 23, 2015 at 6:15 PM, Ahmed El-Etriby <ae_handasa@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Thanks all for replies. > > About HSPDA modem, I got it working perfectly with asterisk. > But for the agere modem, I failed to install any driver for it so I can got > it mounted /dev/ then try to test some voice AT commands. > > So any help regarding argsm modem 047e:2892 driver installation&ccompiling > will be apprechiated. > > Regards > > Wednesday, 23 September 2015, 08:23PM +02:00 from > goldberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx: > > > The other modem is a cellular HSPDA. > Be careful to make sure that both are not active at the same time because > they would compete in trying to connecr (ppp). > > Jacques > > Sent from my android device. > > -----Original Message----- > From: Antonio Olivares <olivares14031@xxxxxxxxx> > To: Ahmed El-Etriby <ae_handasa@xxxxxxxxxxx> > Cc: Marvin Stodolsky <marvin.stodolsky@xxxxxxxxx>, Linmodems > <discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Sent: Wed, 23 Sep 2015 17:33 > Subject: Re: Ahmed, Egypt Raspbian GNU/Linux 7 kernel 4.1.6-v7+ > > Ahmed, > > There appear to be two modems on your system.
