Use slmodem-2.9.9 for service of non-SmartLink chipsets.
There may be a warning about a not-SmartLink modem as the drivers load.
But just proceed with modem functionality tests, as described in ModemTesting.txt
A report on the softmodem chipset identity after slamr driver installation by:
# modprobe slamr
# dmesg | grep slam
The Intel ICH softmodem controllers can utilize the a driver provided along with the
ALSA sound support software: snd-intel8x0m.ko . Use the slmodem-2.9.9-alsa package to compile the slmodemd for managing the complementary modem ports and fax service.
The slmodem-2.9.10 and later versions service ONLY SmartLink chipsets!
For guidance see slmodem-2.9.6 installation report: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/arch.../msg00176.html
is cogent to both USB and PCI modems, except that for PCI modems,
the driver is slamr.o and the port created with:
slmodemd --country=YourCountry /dev/slamr0
See IMPORTANT details concerning slmodem usage in Modem/General.txt
If wvdial is being used for dialout, there must be added to /etc/wvdial.conf
Carrier Check = no
Smartlink products include the:
163c:5459 SmartPCI561 modem and chipsets for other Brandname PCI modems;
a chipset for USB modems, the SmartUSB56 (ST7554) based modems
with vendor/product usb ids: 0483:7554 supported,
and a chipset incorporated in many BrandName softmodems.

=== Checking 8086 through chipset providers and modem assemblers ====

======= PCI_ID checking completed ======

Analyzing information for PCMCIA device at PCI Bus 02:07.0
GREPping for an inserted PCMCIA modem with filter: ommunication
If a PCMCIA modem is currently inserted and the sockets activated by
/etc/init.d/pcmcia start
then the PCMCIA bridge is NOT transparent.

If the modem is known to have a Lucent digital signal processing chipset,
then PCMCIA.tar.gz variant assembled by Joern Wustenfeld is necessary,
rather than the standard ltmodem-8.26a9.tar.gz at http://ltmodem.heby.de/
The following information blocks just query some ppp support items.

The ModemDriverCompiling.txt is a MUST READ,
if you are not experienced in configuring kernel-source/
or get "unresolved symbols" upon driver insertion.
