Download the scanModem Tool from http://132.68.73.235/linmodems/index.html#scanModem
gunzip scanModem.gz
then change permissions,
chmod +x scanModem
Run the utlity,
sudo ./scanModem
ModemData.txt should read the following (edited text),
8086:27d8 is a High Definition Audio card, possibly hosting a soft modem.
HDAmodemChip=0x11c13026
For candidate modem in PCI bus: 00:1b.0
Class 0403: 8086:27d8 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G
Primary PCI_id 8086:27d8
Subsystem PCI_id 1025:0110
Softmodem codec or Vendor from diagnostics:
from Archives: 11c1, an AgereSystems type.
The HDA card softmodem chip is 0x11c13026
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 driver from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/SLMODEMD-1.0.13.tar.gz
Unpack and enter the SLMODEMD-1.0.13 directory
sudo chmod a+x slmodemd
From the same directory copy the slmodemd file to
sudo cp slmodemd /usr/sbin/
This completes slmodemd installation. To check for duplicate slmodemd files,
find /usr -name slmodemd
It should only report the newly copied slmodemd.Should another older slmodemd copy be found rename it to slmodemd.old
Make sure you have kppp installed
sudo apt-get install kppp
Open a Terminal, Use the CountryList.txt file on your SLMODEMD-1.0.13 folder to check for your listing
sudo slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY --alsa hw:0,6
The following txt should appear,
SmartLink Soft Modem: version 2.9.11 May 5 2007 01:31:04
symbolic link `/dev/ttySL0' -> `/dev/pts/1' created.
modem `hw:0,6' created. TTY is `/dev/pts/1'
Use `/dev/ttySL0' as modem device, Ctrl+C for termination.
Run kppp from your applications, internet tab or,
kppp
IMPORTANT: Don't close the terminal while you run kppp otherwise your modem won't be detected
go to "configure"
go to "Modems"
create "New"
enter details on "Device" tab "Modem name", Modem device (in this case /dev/ttySL0), and connection speed
go to "Modem" to test
click on "Query Modem"
ATI query results should display the following:
