Yes, pretty much in the previous thread. Read above, post #13, by ferrari. I think that sums things up rather nicely.

But it was a wonderful effort, and renewed my faith in people of these forums.
Thanks for your help.

Yes, definitely go for a hardware modem.

About the ALSA kernel limits: My kernel is now 4.4.0.5-generic (or close), and yet the ALSA kernels are versions 2.4 and 2.6. Do these values make sense? Are we really that far along in kernel versions?

I'm not sure what you're asking here. The linuxant support finished around the time of 2.4/2.6 kernel versions IIRC.

Oppps, thanks.

http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/...-installer.php may still work.

I too had purchased a rockwell hardware modem on serial a long time ago for this problem. Took it to goodwill a few months ago with the AT command cheat sheet taped to it.
