LinuxQuestions.org - Software modem on Acer Aspire 1360

I have an Acer Aspire 1360 with a software modem and I'm trying to make it work under Linux. By using scanModem from www.linmodems.com I found the type of my modem.
Here is the output:

Code:

UPDATE=2006_April_11

ONLY use scanModem downloaded as: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/scanModem.gz

/home/panoskrt/Desktop/scanModem/scanModem should ONLY be run within a Linux/UNIX partition.

If within a MicroSoft/DOS partition, abort with Ctrl-C now !!!

Copy scanModem.gz to your Linux partition and restart.

PCIBUS=00:11.6

Providing detail for device at  00:11.6

The following two Root commands should set up the modem.

        modprobe snd-via82xx-modem

        slmodemd --alsa -c YOUR_COUNTRY modem:1

Get the SLMODEMD.gcc3.tar.gz from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/

The controller: 1106:3068  VIA

      Pctel

      AgereSystems

I type the commands the output says. I mean:

Code:

modprobe snd-via82xx-modem

slmodemd --alsa -c YOUR_COUNTRY modem:1

And after the second command the output is:

Code:

error: mixer setup: Off-hook switch not found for card hw:1

SmartLink Soft Modem: version 2.9.11 Jan 19 2006 21:19:22

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.

I can't understand what the error is about but as you can see the modem is "created" and there is a port to listen. I'm opening then KPPP and when I'm calling the query the modem works. The problem is that when I'm going to dial the ISP I got "Modem Ready", "Modem Initializing" and right after KPPP ends without any connection.
Could anyone help me with that? Thanks in advance!
