[hcflinux] Linux drivers,

[Jean-Simon Durand]

Hi,

you need to verify which datapump your modem has. You can do this by sending
the "ATI6" command to your modem in a terminal software.

Unfortunatly, with the Octopus modem architecture under Linux, voice
(FCLASS=8) is not supported with the datapump version 71. It is only
supported with the newer datapumps version 73 and 74. Also, version 74 only
has basic voice support and it lacks some features.

Regards,

Jean-Simon

Subject: [hcflinux] Linux drivers,


I have a small Dell machine that I have been fooling around with and I
installed Redhat 9 on it. It is fairly old and apparently has a software
modem. The string from /proc/pci states "Conexant HCF 56k
Data/Fax/Voice/Spkp Modem (rev 8)" which lead me to your site. I was kind of
hoping I could get vgetty to work with it (which would require FCLASS=8).
However, after attempting to install one of your drivers (first attempted a
kernel specific one, but I am using 2.4.20-13.9 which doesn't seem to be
support yet), version "0.99lnxtbeta03042700" of the "generic" drivers, the
best I can get from AT+FCLASS=? is "0,1,1.0". After digging through the
mailing list archive a little I found :

Wed Aug 21 2002 Marc Boucher <marc at mbsi.ca>
* Integrated voice (AT+FCLASS=8) support.

(irrelevant lines ommitted)

I read on the "Limitations" page that the voice is very "preliminary," but I
can't seem to find any at all. Is this support not available for my modem?
What am I doing wrong? Could I help in some way to get voice working with
your driver(s)?

Any help would be appreciated.
