I am trying something that should be fairly simple according to the
documentation.
When I have compiled (but not installed?) my slmodem and try to start it
with
# ./slmodemd --alsa --country=FINLAND hw:0
It starts and seems to be working well, I get this message
"SmartLink Soft Modem: version 2.9.7 Jun 17 2004 01:24:06
modem `hw:0' created. TTY is `/dev/pts/4'
symbolic link `/dev/ttySL0' -> `/dev/pts/4' created.
Use `/dev/ttySL0' as modem device, Ctrl+C for termination."
But whem I try to activate the connection I created in the
redhat-config-network program it only takes a second before it reports
back that it is activated but it doesn't do anny dialing as it is
supposed to
When I run ifconfig it says it has an ip address
"ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol
inet addr:10.64.64.64 P-t-P:10.112.112.112 Mask:255.255.255.255

Below is a whole slew of information about how I got this far and some
thoughts I have, I dont think it is needed but just in case it helps.
I have a fedora core 2 with kernel 2.6.5-1.358 and I want to get my
softmodem to work. It should be very compatible with the alsa slmodem
driver. It is an Intel Corp. 82801DB (ICH4) AC'97 Modem Controller
acording to lsmod and I get teh same info when I boot into windows
(where it magically works without a hick).
To start, when I boot and run
$ /sbin/lsmod
I see that the sound module is loaded
snd_intel8x0 26280 3
Wich is good.
In the README file it says
"'intel8x0m' modem driver is included in 'alsa-driver' >= 1.0.2 and
in upcoming linux kernel 2.6.5 - You don't need the patch in
those cases."
So I figure that I dont need to bother with that since I have kernel 2.6.5-1
The second step in the README says
"2. 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' ) .
"
Is that maybe what I have missed? It apears to me like that is something
that I doesn't have to do with my kernel but maybe I do? If so, how?
Third step should be
"Build and install kernel and modules as usual (make , make
modules_install, etc.).
ICH modem driver modem module name is 'snd-intel8x0m' (if was
configured as module)."
As I said before, this module is loaded already so I haven't done this
step either.
The forth step is to build the aplication slmodemd with alsa suport.
I did that with
make SUPPORT_ALSA=1
and it worked like a charm.
Does that mean it is instaleld and configured and everything? Should I
have run
make
before? Or should I have run
make install
after? or is there something else I have forgotten?
The fifth and last direction in the README file is:
"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')."
This indicates to me that it is now a good time to run this command
../slmodemd --alsa --country=FINLAND hw:0
Wich I mentioned the problems with in the beginning of the message.
