[hcflinux] No dialtone or DTMF signals heard not matter what I do

[Angus Auld]

Hi Karl, while I am not of the expertise to offer a solution to your problem 
with the generic modem driver, I can vouch for the fact that my installation 
of the generic driver (compiled from .src.rpm) on my Mandrake 9.0 system 
does transmit dialtone and handshake sounds normally.

I hope you find a solution to your situation.

All the best. :-)

Perhaps there is an error in the driver; it is probably supposed to do 
something that affects the volume after receiving an Lx command, but 
doesn't. Is it not true that an HCF driver is supposed to emulate an absent 
controller? Is it not also true that it is the controller within a true 
hardware modem that sets the speaker volume upon receiving and Lx command? 
It is definitely not a problem with the modem itself because I still hear 
the Call Progression Tones at their normal volumes from within Windows.

Although it is not a serious problem, it would be nice to have this fixed in 
order to prove to the world that HCF modems can be made to function as well 
from within Linux as they do from within Windows.

Thanks for helping to dispel the myth to Windows users that Linux is 
inferior.

Salut!,

Karl
