Antonio,

Before repeating a dialout trial, remember to unload and reload slamr.
in addition to stopping slmodemd
# killall slmodemd
# modprobe -r slamr

then restart procedures:
# modprobe slamr
etc

Marv,

I have done this before, reloaded the drivers, modprobe -r them, also
recompiled the slmodem-2.9.11-20090222.tar.gz and new
ungrab-winmodem-20090716.tar.gz and the same thing sadly happens :(,
if I revert to an older 2.6.30.X kernel, I can happily browse without
any problems.

I did not make any complaints since I had line problems.  Now
telephone line at home has been fixed, something was wrong at
telephone pole :(, I tried 2.6.31 and have not compiled newer 2.6.31.4
or 5 that has been out because it might make no difference when this
modem no longer working with 2.6.31 based kernels :(,

I can use it with Slax which uses 2.6.27.27 kernel, but the problems
lie with newer kernels, I know that the code is volunteer supported
and I am very and have been appreciative of that for all the service I
have gotten from my smartlink modems.

If there is any other new code that I can try out, comment some
functions out(new ones in 2.6.31 not present in 2.6.30 or previous), I
can try them out and report back.

Regards,

Antonio
