Thanks, got it to compile!

But, the instructions say:

Use option '--alsa' when running 'slmodemd' and ALSA conventional
  device name ('hw:0' or 'hw:1' for instance). If modem support in
  the kernel was enabled as module module 'snd-intel8x0m' should be loaded.
  When using ALSA modem driver you don't need to load other modules ('slamr').

I did the following:

modprobe snd-intel8x0m

Now what? How do I figure out this "device name"?

You can check that the module is loaded with "lsmod".

Then you can start the modem daemon with "slmodemd --alsa". I do this from the slmodemd-2.9.10/modem/ directory with "./slmodemd --alsa" when I want the modem, but you can install the daemon in a system binary directory like /usr/local/sbin/ and start it in /etc/rc.local if you want.

When the daemon starts, it reports:

# ./slmodemd --alsa
SmartLink Soft Modem: version 2.9.10 Feb 24 2005 17:54:46
symbolic link `/dev/ttySL0' -> `/dev/pts/4' created.
modem `modem:1' created. TTY is `/dev/pts/4'
Use `/dev/ttySL0' as modem device, Ctrl+C for termination.

You can then configure your modem tools to use /dev/ttySL0 as the modem device.


Thanks and best wishes!

Btw, the instructions on compiling with ALSA mode say:



1. Configure your kernel and enable ALSA and ICH based modem support
  ( 'Device Drivers' -> 'Sound' -> 'Advanced Linux Sound Architecture' ->
    'PCI devices' -> 'Intel i8x0/MX440; AMD768/8111 modems' ) .


Where is this "Device Driver" part in FC3? I could not see it on the GNOME panel.

Don't need to do anything about this. ALSA *is* the sound library for FC3.


Thanks and best wishes!

OK, so I have one of those PCTEL modems in my
laptop and need to use it
from
linux. Does slmodemd work with the latest
kernel? Has anyone been
successful?
slmodemd works well but for smartlink chipset modems.
For PCTEL it could work but only the ones that are
supported by slmodem-2.9.X.
If so, any pointers?

I have it working just fine on my Thinkpad (last I
checked, a couple of
kernels ago). I compile with the ALSA drivers and
follow the
instructions.

Many thanks! I will try it out as you suggest.

Best wishes!



Many thanks!
