ScanModem report

Rate this Message:
Dear Sir/Madam:
I recently purchase a new eMachine computer (model #ET1161-05), with Windows Vista Home Basic included. I have installed Ubuntu 9.04 on one partition of the hard drive and kept the Windows on another partition. Vista Home Basic does not support faxing operation, however, there is a modem that is detected by Device Manager. I have run the scanModem program. The attached report confirms that there is an Agere modem on board. At this point I am confused as to whether or not it can be used in a Linux system. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated. In the event that the Agere modem cannot be used, or if modifying it would be beyond my abilities (this is my first experience with Linux - all previous computers had Windows), what would you recommend regarding new modem/driver purchase/installation? I am in the USA. TIA, Bill Lowther Only plain text email is forwarded by the Discuss@... List Server, as HTML can contain viruses.

The initial agrsm_howto.txt compiling steps are only cogent to modems with PCI IDs: 11c1:0620, 11c1:048c and 11c1:048f chips. They use the agrsm-20090418.tar.gz package. The agrsm-tools sets a useful symbolic link and a agrsm-test utlity For AgereSystems/LSI with Vendor 11c1 chips hosted on High Definition Audio cards, there may be support through the agrsm resources (providing an agrmodem + agrserial driver pair) as an alternative to usage of the snd-hda-intel driver + slmodemd helper. For the 11c11040 modem chip, ONLY the agrsm code is competent. Your Linux distro's dkms package should be first installed, as it directs the installation of modem specific dkms-agrsm resources, and also directs auto-installation of new drivers upon kernel upgrades. Currently, the dkms-agrsm code is NOT competent for 2.26.28 and later kernels. A short term fix is to install linux-image + linux-headers packages for earlier kernels. For detailed instructions for Ubuntu Jaunty with 2.6.28 kernels, see http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-nineth/msg01316.html The primary dkms-agrsm resource site is http://linux.zsolttech.com/linmodem/agrsm/ whereat a few different packaging types are available. Debian type installers (supporting Ubuntu too) are copied to http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/ . Thereat the current package is the dkms-agrsm_2.1.80-6_i386.deb is for Agere/LSI chipsets hosted on High Definition Audio cards.

The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.3.3 and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.3.3 The patch utility is needed and is needed for compiling ALSA drivers, and possibly others. Minimal compiling resources appear complete: make utility - /usr/bin/make Compiler version 4.3 linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.28-15-generic/build However some compilations and executable functions may need additional files, in the FileNames.h (so called kernel "h"eaders) collection installed in /usr/include/ . For martian_modem, additional required packages are needed. The also required headers of package libc6 are commonly installed by default. Compiling hsfmodem drivers does require linux-libc-dev and libc6-dev packages, for kernels 2.6.24 and later versions. In not included on your install CD, search for them at http://packages.ubuntu.com or comparable Repository for other Linux distros. When compiling ALSA drivers, the utility "patch" will also be needed. If a driver compilation fails, with message including some lack of some FileName.h (stdio.h for example), then Some additional kernel-header files need installation to /usr/include. The minimal additional packages are libc6-dev and any of its dependents, under Ubuntu linux-libc-dev If an alternate ethernet connection is available, $ apt-get update $ apt-get -s install linux-kernel-devel will install needed packages.

Bill,
If fax is not functional under Microsoft, likely it will not be under Linux either. Many of the cheap consumer Winmodems are not Fax competent. If you need robust fax service, best purchase a Controller Chipset (hardware) modem.

Jacques:
I edited (entered my home phone number - correct?), userid, and p/w, then did $ sudo wvdial and get the following (I replaced my phone number w/ xxxxxxxxxx)-- --> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60 --> Initializing modem. --> Sending: ATZ ATZ OK --> Sending: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 OK --> Modem initialized. --> Sending: ATDTxxxxxxxxxx --> Waiting for carrier. ATDTxxxxxxxxxx NO CARRIER --> No Carrier! Trying again. --> Sending: ATDTxxxxxxxxxx --> Waiting for carrier. ATDTxxxxxxxxxx NO CARRIER ******************************** At this point I picked up the reciver of the phone and heard a recorded message that "message could not be recorded", and the command was disconnected due to no dial tone. I must not be doing something correct. Should I download efax and efax-gtk at this point? TIA, Bill Lowther

NOPE !!!!!
Not YOUR OWN phone number! The modem needs the phone number to reach your ISP, Verizon I suppose, and it needs a username and a password which your ISP (Verizon?) had given to you!

I'm sorry for the confusion - I am not experienced w/ the workings of a fax program from the computer. So, I am probably not explaing myself too well. I'll start from the beginning - My previous computer had Win XP, a USR 5660A modem for faxing, and a BSRP "PhoneTools" program. My ISP was Verizon, via DSL (not dial-up). I don't remember how PhoneTools was setup for faxing. I recently upgraded to this computer - an eMachine w/ Vista Home Basic, which does not support faxing. Verizon is still the ISP, via DSL, and I would like to be able to fax from the computer as I did before. The modem that came w/ Vista, as shown in the ModemData report, is the Agere Systems Device 0620. How do I fax from this computer w/ this equipment? Bill

MARV PLEASE: does Bill's Agere 5620 modem support faxing?
Bill: It is becoming possible although still expensive to use services over your DSL link such as outlined in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_fax At the same time, it is very simple to FAX out from your computer using an analog modem such as your Agere modem with FAX software such as efax which you can download from many places such as http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/intel/Philippe.Vouters/efax.zip In such a scheme there is absolutely NO interaction between your Internet connection via DSL and EFAXing with the Agere modem. The only caveat is that I do not know if the specific Agere 620 driver supports FAXing. Marv will tell you. My own way to do what you wish to is: -Internet via DSL -FAX out using the FAX function of my C7183 All-in-one HP printer. -Phone company FAX phone box which forwards incominf FAXes to my computer embedded in a mail message.

Bill,
"Is this part of the problem?" I probably did not correctly follow the discussion with you because I still do not know what "the problem" is. What I can swear is that the error message which you report (see below) has nothing to do neither with the hardware of the modem nor with its software (driver). FAXes are sent as TIFF files. GhostScript knows how to make a TIFF file out of a PostScript file. Linux (Unix) commands come with a manual to use them. The word manual starts with man. To help you use efax , type man efax You will find the following in the help text Ghostscript’s tiffg3 driver can generate fax files in TIFF-G3 format from postscript files. For example, the command: gs -q -sDEVICE=tiffg3 -dNOPAUSE -sOutputFile=letter.%03d letter.ps </dev/null will convert the Postscript file letter.ps into high-resolution (vr=1) G3 fax image files letter.001, letter.002, ... The error which you see is produced by that command. You did not type it, but the way you operated efax generated this command, while the file which you try to send is not a PostScript file, as the error message says: "Not valid postscript file". What should you do then to send your FAX: well, the universal advice READ THE MANUAL FIRST also applies for FAXing. If you cannot find how to send your FAX by reading man efax , then please send me the test file which you are trying to send and the complete efax command which you typed to try to send but obtained the error message instead.

No Bill, this does not indicate any further problem.
You have asked the Vista device manager what your modem can do. The Vista device manager replied that the modem is not able to handle CALLER ID (using this command; there are other ways, see > http://www.troi.com/support/callerid.html If I understood correctly, you are trying to send a FAX, not to enable or disable Caller ID, so this is NOT another problem at this time, nor will it if you want some day to enable/disable caller ID when the modem is set to automatically receive faxes: the modem cannot do it. This is not a problem, this is a feature.

Jasques/Marvin:
Thank you for explaining and clarifying the meaning of the "AT..../Not supported" report. And sage advice re reading the manual. I am doing that now. In the mean time, I found this bug report -- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/efax/+bug/384317 This is exactly the problem that I experience when I try to fax using the efax-gtk program from Ubuntu 9.04.
