internal modem
Hi, folks. Within my notebook I have internal modem. How Can I force to work my modem? Is it possible? Best regards, Vorobyov Ivan.

This means that the modem functionality (connection, protocols, error-correction, etc) is implemented completely in a closed-source, Windows-only driver. The chance of getting these modems working on any non-Windows platform is almost zero. Please complain to your vendor(s). :)

I agree in theory, but I heard about ltmodem project for linux. May be some ports of this project exist for OpenBSD? What do you think? Best regards, Vorobyov Ivan.

See the ltmodem webpage http://www.physcip.uni-stuttgart.de/heby/ltmodem/#sources , under Sources(ironic!) unpack ltmodem-8.26a.tar.gz , then unpack source.tar.gz found in this. you will find source/ltmobj.o -- this is the actual driver. a BLOB ( see http://www.openbsd.org/lyrics.html#39 ). The rest is just garbage wrappers. If you have a problem with openbsd not supporting BLOBS, then by all means, use linux!!

Bluetooth was disabled as it was broken, but there is good news on the bluetooth front - its is being actively developed at the moment.

Re: internal modem
Ok, Thanks. I try to investigate this problem. If you have some links about WinModem programming and something about creating drivers in OpenBSD, please, send it me ;) Thanks in advance. there are two parts to making use of winmodems; The first part is the basic hardware interface, often between a sound codec and the phone line. This is partly reverse-engineered for some devices, for example Asterisk voip pbx has support for some Ambient/Intel modem chips to use as interfaces to the telephone line. I guess this is what ltmodem have too (the page I read about it suggested it was only able to dial numbers etc..) The second part is a lot harder, it's the actual signal-processing to implement the modem protocols (v21, v23, v34, v90 etc). I'm pretty sure most vendors still regard this as highly commercially sensitive, it takes years to get this working well (especially working-around other vendor bugs). The only open-source code I know of to do this is spandsp, which is mainly used with voip software and implements v29 9600bps fax protocols and v22bis 2400bps modem protocols. But hey, isn't it easier to just use an external/PC-card modem or GSM data/GPRS/etc...?

From my point of view, it's one of the biggest lack of OpenBSD at this moment (with WPA too). Can you elaborate on this point ? Bruno.

Take a look at this: http://jcs.org/notaweblog/2006-09-27/ I think some other work may be going on as well but I'm really not sure. Someone else can elaborate much better than I on this subject.
