Hi All,

I am continually frustrated in my attempts to get the slmodem driver working for the Intel 82801xx chipsets.

I have tried the slamr driver. I have tried the ALSA driver. I have tried it on two different machines, one with the 82801DB chipset, one with the 82801AA chipset. Still the same problem. I can talk to the modem with AT commands both with KPPP and wvdial. The init string is accepted (OK) and the dial string is accepted. It just seems the modem is not being connected to the phone line. What is the solution.

I have seached this forum, I have googled the web, there are many people with the problem, but no obvious fixes for the people with the problem.
For some people it just works, but there doesn't seem to be any difference in the installation between them ...

My lspci is:

Did you hear the dial tone from your modem when it tried to connect? Try open terminal program (kppp also has small terminal in modem setup page) and using AT command to call your ISP. Example, ATDT08670000. If you can see login and password prompt then your problem is not about modem. Try setup modem to turn on sound ATM1L3

Good luck

No Dial tone at all. No clicks nothing.

One discovery I have made is that if the phone line is not plugged in, I get a "No Dial Tone" message straight away. If it is plugged in, I get the "No Carrier" message.

It seems to be detecting the dial tone ok.

I have read that wvdial needs the "Carrier Check = no" line in
a particular place in the wvdial.conf file, but I have tried it everywhere and still no joy :cry:

I tried the ATM1L3 command, but still no sound.

OK... I have slmodem (v. 2.9.7) driver working on my IBM Laptop R32. However, I never tried compile it with ALSA mode. Why don't you try compile it without ALSA mode. Compile and install as a module and call that module (slamr) when Linux start. Then call modem driver part like
Code:
 slmodemd -c 7e /dev/slamr0


Make sure you can compile and install module without any error. Using make && make install script. And using latest driver (v. 2.9.9)

Try lsmod and to check that "slamr" module has loaded into your system before you call "slmodemd". If it doesn't work, I think you should try compile a new test kernel by not include USB, sound, ethernet and ndiswrapper driver. Then test it with slmodem again.

I have a problem with slmodem. Kppp try to connect to my isp, I can listen to the usual noise, but kppp stop with NO CARRIER error.
Have you got an idea how to solve the problem.

I can't use wvdial becouse it can't comunicate with the serial port!!!
I read in the forum to use Kppp and now I have again another error.

Anyway i think 1 year ago I was able to use my slmodem without any problem with kppp and also with wvdial and gnome-ppp.

What is going on??
