Setup is not that hard, in fact there is a help page http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/smartlink.setup.html However for the newer Fedora Core 4, I had to change things slightly. You have to download slmodem-2.9.9e-pre1.tar.gz, and ungrab-winmodem.tar.gz from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/. Apply what was on the smartlink.setup.html, but because of ungrab-winmodem, the automatic loading of slmodemd at boot time is changed. Apply the following as root user open up and edit /etc/rc.local and cut and past to match this one [olivares@localhost ~]$ cat /etc/rc.local #!/bin/sh # # This script will be executed *after* all the other init scripts. # You can put your own initialization stuff in here if you don't # want to do the full Sys V style init stuff. touch /var/lock/subsys/local echo -n "Loading ungrab-winmodem driver from kernel ... " modprobe ungrab-winmodem modprobe slamr rmmod slamr sleep 3 [olivares@localhost ~]$ also, in /etc/init.d/slmodemd to match this one [olivares@localhost ~]$ cat /etc/init.d/slmodemd #!/bin/sh # # slmodemd: Starts the SmartLink Modem Daemon # # chkconfig: 345 90 10 # description: This is the user space part of the SmartLink Modem driver # processname: slmodemd # config: /etc/sysconfig/slmodem # Source function library. . /etc/init.d/functions prog=slmodemd RETVAL=0 # Default configuration SLMODEMD_DEVICE=slamr0 SLMODEMD_COUNTRY=USA # Source configuration CONFIG=/etc/sysconfig/$prog if [ -f $CONFIG ]; then . $CONFIG # override default group and permissions if defined in $CONFIG; # other valid options also can be put into SLMODEMD_OPTS variable [ "$GROUP" ] && SLMODEMD_OPTS="$SLMODEMD_OPTS --group=$GROUP" [ "$PERMS" ] && SLMODEMD_OPTS="$SLMODEMD_OPTS --perm=$PERMS" fi # uncomment this if you want this feature (if necessary edit module pattern): # do not try to start on a kernel which does not support it # grep -q 'slamr\..*o' /lib/modules/`uname -r`/modules.dep || exit 0 start() { cat /proc/modules | grep 'slamr' >/dev/null || { echo -n "Loading SmartLink Modem driver into kernel ...
