Greetings: After the sarge->etch upgrade, I noticed that sound card and soft modem hardware on this Dell 8600 was properly detected as never before. After not being able to use the pctel modem with any 2.6 kernel (I'm now running a locally compiled 2.6.18) I decided I wanted to use the sl-modem-daemon package, which installed perfectly, as a voice modem with mgetty/vgetty.
I had done this years ago with a ZyXel 2864, so the configuration wasn't as bad as it could have been and the sl-modem-daemon docs say that it works with vgetty. It's supposed to be a V253 voice modem. The versions are from etch: sl-modem-daemon and sl-modem-source (the kernel driver part) 2.9.9d+e-pre2-7etch2. I can talk to the modem via kermit and send it AT commands. If I call the modem when kermit is talking to it and I type ATA (to answer), it does and I hear the modem tone in the calling phone. But obviously something is not set up quite right as when I start vgetty I get this: 04/19 21:48:31 SL0 reading program vgetty configuration from config file /etc/mgetty/voice.conf 04/19 21:48:31 SL0 reading port ttySL0 configuration from config file /etc/mgetty/voice.conf 04/19 21:48:31 SL0 check for lockfiles 04/19 21:48:31 SL0 locking the line 04/19 21:48:32 SL0 tio_get_rs232_lines: TIOCMGET failed: Invalid argument 04/19 21:48:32 SL0 WARNING: DSR is off - modem turned off or bad cable? 04/19 21:48:32 SL0 lowering DTR to reset Modem 04/19 21:48:32 SL0 TIOCMBIC failed: Invalid argument 04/19 21:48:32 SL0 send: AT+FCLASS=8[0d] 04/19 21:48:32 SL0 waiting for ``OK'' ** found ** 04/19 21:48:32 SL0 send: ATN1S0=0S13=1[0d] 04/19 21:48:32 SL0 waiting for ``OK'' ** found ** 04/19 21:48:32 SL0 send: AT[0d] 04/19 21:48:32 SL0 do_stat: expect 'OK' ** found ** 04/19 21:48:32 SL0 send: ATI2[0d] 04/19 21:48:32 SL0 do_stat: expect 'OK' ** found ** 04/19 21:48:32 SL0 mdm_send: 'AT+FCLASS=2' -> ERROR 04/19 21:48:32 SL0 detecting voice modem type 04/19 21:48:34 SL0 V253 modem detected 04/19 21:48:34 SL0 initializing V253 voice modem 04/19 21:48:35 SL0 vgetty: Modem returned ERROR 04/19 21:48:35 SL0 setting ringback delay didn't work 04/19 21:48:35 SL0 vgetty: Modem returned ERROR 04/19 21:48:36 SL0 waiting... I don't see where the mdm_send 'AT+FCLASS=2' is configured, per the init script AT+FCLASS=8 is the proper way to initialize the modem for voice. Apparently this modem does class 1 fax. Hopefully this has no effect, but the V253 initialization seems more serious. Does anyone know what is mis-configured? Are the TIOCMGET and TIOCMBIC errors fatal? The modem never answers. Anyone using sl-modem-daemon and vgetty? I eagerly await any hints, or better, config files. Thanks! A. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
