[hcflinux] voice

[Jean-Simon Durand]

Hi,

you are right, but it's important to verify which datapump the 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

Hi,
I think you'll find that the modem will still do voice, some of the
programs are a bit shakey with their support for the voice functionality
on Connexant-based modems, but it is supported.  The issue you've
pointed out I think is more a case of the configuration utility not
knowing if the modem can do voice or not.

Anyone care to backup/correct me here?
