Dear JT,

scanModem reports that your modem would be supported but under 32 bit
linux.  You are using 64 bit linux which does not support your modem.

Some modem drivers can only be used in 32 bit modem on x86_64 systems,
while some others are competent on x86_64 Systems.  Cases are:
1) http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-seventh/msg03119.html
for the snd-hda-intel audio+modem driver. Also applicable to AC97 modem
controllers.
In both cases, 32 bit libraries must be installed to support the slmodemd
helper having a precompiled 32 bit component.
2) For USB modems using the slusb.ko driver. 32 bit libraries must be
installed to support the slmodemd helper having a precompiled 32 bit component
3) The hsfmodem and hcfpcimodem drivers for Conexant chipsest modes are x86_64
competent.
4) agrsm packages for LSI/AgereSystems softmodems are not competent on x86_64
systems.

If you install 32 bit linux, then your modem would be supported by
slmodem-2.9.X-`date +%Y%m%d`.tar.gz with %Y%m%d being the latest
version available at linmodems modem driver section :

http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/

The latest package is :

http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/slmodem-2.9.11-20110321.tar.gz

Best Regards,


Antonio
