[hcflinux] Linux drivers,

[Spencer Thomas]

I get the following :

ATI6
DP Part 74
DP Rev  BA
V90     SPX RAM Ver 16
V90     CTL RAM Ver 16
OK

So it looks like I have a good "datapump." I was also reading around in
the mgetty configuration file, and shouldn't you be able to override the
default init string (which you normally would have to change in the
source and recompile) by doing something like this :

mgetty.config

/dev/modem
   init-chat "" \d\d\d+++\d\d\dATZ OK ATS0=0 OK

(just a quick init string, I'm sure I would use a more appropriate one)
It didn't seem to work for me (maybe I need to use /dev/ttyS0?), seems
like that would solve part of the "wrong chipset detected" problem. I
only had about an hour or so to fool with it last night. Maybe tonight
or this weekend I will dig through the mgetty source and fix whatever
the rockwell problem is.

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

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.

Spencer
