Intel 536EP/537 new driver

Philippe Vouters — 2012-05-13T18:27:13

Dear everyone,

The problems corrected are the following:
1/ The driver failed to compile under 3.3.4 kernel.
2/ Worked upon kernel oops.

Now both $ efax -vewinchmart and $ stty -F /dev/modem -a work correctly 
without any kernel oops. This has been tested with a 536EP modem.

Because we switched to VoIP for cost reasons, I am unable to test with 
wvdial, kppp, hylafax, minicom. If someone is willing to make tests, his 
feedback remains welcomed. Also if someone else is owning a 537EP modem, 
I'd be glad to hear from.

Yours truly,

New Case Only

Shawn,

Please send to the whole Discuss list, as others way beneficially contribute.
If we are to help, we need the whole Log of the modem negotiation.
We have certainly encountered IPs whose CONNECT protocols seem Linux hostile.
But more detail is needed in your case.

Shawn,

When the call has to go through some type of switching sysem,
inserting a comma in the phone number implements a 1 sec pause, for
each comma.  So try something like:
1,,888,xxxxxxx,n  to provide 1 or sec pauses at places which may be useful.

Because Skype is not open source (and I can't play with my custom 
function) and I have to pay to call and receive on the traditional phone 
line. Many people use modem through vgetty to have an answering machine 
so I thought it was easy! Hope that someone will help me! Apart from my 
"game" it can be really useful for many function if I learn well how to 
use it and, of course, when my job is done I'll share my script/sources 
to everyone.

(ex. of useful function:
call recording,
playing sounds through the traditional line (which I already can do)
calling people through the computer's addressbook and use a normal 
headphone and microfone to speak
create a complete pbx without needing VoIP
et cetera...)

If you don't have time to help me, I'll understand, but I'm sure it can 
make interesting thinks...

(And the think that makes me crazy is that I miss just two easy AT 
commands, maybe!)

Thanks anyway.
Cheers,
Stefano

If your major interest is Voice, why not install SKYPE, for which the
related problems have already been worked out?  Members of this List
have been interested in Internet CONNECTs, and have not played with
the ordinary phone angle.  You are on your own in that arena.

I already tried wvdial, but it seems to be just for ip connection on 
internet (which i really don't need).

I'm using slmodemd since the first time, the config file has the same 
arguments you suggested me (except for the country one because I'm in 
Italy so it's "-c ITALY")

Why should i use chatscript? Can't I go on with "minicom" and 'echo -en 
"ATCOMMAND\r" > /dev/ttySL0 && read -t1 < /dev/ttySL0 && echo "$REPLY"'?

Re: Re: At commands

Marvin Stodolsky — 2012-04-25T02:09:38

After (if necessary)
# modprobe snd-intel8x0m
activate your modem with:
#  slmodemd -c USA --alsa  modem:1

You could setup a chatscript to manage the dialout,
wherein you could put the line:
Carrier check = no
Search out the documentation on chatscript usage.

If you can install the wvdialconf package, a good first sanity test
(with slmodemd left running) is
# wvdialconf
which should report finding the modem.
# wvdial
is what we recommend for managing routine IP CONNECTs for Internet usage.

The ModemData.txt wasn't attached.

Also just noticed your platform is x86_64 AMD
while snd-intel8x0m will work, slamr cannot be used because it has a
precompiled 32 bit component

Here's my ModemData.txt

I don't need the whole set of AT commands, just the one who disable the 
carrier detecting, the full duplex audio transmission and the "stop 
receiving" code...

The first one is optional because if I wanna make a call, I can just 
record the number's tone and make a script to call them in the right 
order from the number... But it's a un-fency solution...

Send to the List (not me), the ModemData.txt file output when you run

With respect to the AT commands, many drivers under Linux do not have
the full AT set implemented.

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to make my modem work as phone but I found a lot of issue:

I don't know the AT command to stop AT+VRX.

Don't know how to do full duplex:
(if i use AT+VTX+VRX it let me just send, AT+VRX+VTX just receive)

Need a full AT command list but really don't know where to find it after 
hours and hours of research...

When i try to call someone:
AT+FCLASS=8\r
AT+VLS=1\r
ATD <NUMBER>;\r (or ATD<NUMBER>\r)
It starts calling, but if i give ANY command it tells me: "NO CARRIER" 
and stop calling... I don't know how to disable carrier detection and 
ATS10=255 doesn't work. (Even some other commands i tried [AT&C0/1] etc...)

I'm really going mad!

These are my informations:

lspci:

Denis,

Motorola has never provided support for its modems under Linux.
The slamr support for the SM56 modem could not be predicted.
Rather, a test was run and luckily it worked fairly well under the old
2.4 series kernels.  But as the Linux code has evolved, there has been
nothing we can do in the Closed Source component of the code, to
optimize service.

If you have no other CONNECT choice but the modem, your best option is
to buy a Controller Chipset (so called hardware) modem, which have
Open Source drivers fully supported under Linux.  Read the DOCs ouput
by scanModem for details.
