AC'97 Modem: How do I ckhck if it's working?

cwwilson721 · 03-09-2006, 08:35 PM

I have a Gateway 1450LS Laptop.
Running Slackware 10.2/Kernel 2.6.15/KDE 3.4
Just compiled/installed slmodem-2.9.10
When I

Code:

#modprobe snd_intel8x0m
#slmodemd --alsa
SmartLink Soft Modem: version 2.9.10 Mar  9 2006 19:46:00
symbolic link `/dev/ttySL0' -> `/dev/pts/2' created.
modem `modem:1' created. TTY is `/dev/pts/2'
Use `/dev/ttySL0' as modem device, Ctrl+C for termination.

That's it.
How do I know if it's working?
Do I have to 'modprobe snd_intel8x0m' everytime?**EDIT: Added it to rc.modules
Is there a 'terminal program' in KDE I can use?

Try to go "Applications -> System Settings -> Network. Then click to available network card by ensuring there's a "tick icon" appear when you click on it, then click Activate. If it's activated properly, means your network card is up". Another method is using terminal, type "ifconfig" and see the output, if there's another port other than "lo" usually is "eth0", that means your network card is up.

For also sound driver, try modprobe or insmod command "insmod /lib/modules/..../alsa". Then you may try it out by playing a song to make sure whether it works.

Good Luck, dude.

Just out of curiosity, did you read my post? It's not a network card, it's a modem.And while it may show in 'ifconfig'(which it does not), you are talking about a different Desktop Enviornment than I posted.

My sound is fine. Read the post. It's even titled "AC'97 Modem". The module is so I can hear the line, not to play songs.

Thank you for your attempt, leonall, but you really should read the post before answering questions that have nothing to do with what was written.

Anybody else with relevant help?
