[hcflinux] Is a Voice Modem without AT+FCLASS=8 capability possible ?

[Linuxant modem support]

Hi,

The voice functionality with datapump 74 might work but it hasn't been
tested at this time. We will give you more information as soon as possible.

We are also currently working on voice support with the HSF driver.

Hello hcflinux post list people,

After having searched through
inet posts, some Modem, vgetty HOWTOS,
and readmes, a question remains UNANSWERED.

The local dealer tells me one thing,
(your modem does voice with softwares, on windows)
but the modem tells me another, on linux ?!?

(main) QUESTION:
??????????????????????????????????????
Does anyone know if the PCI HCF modem
   AOpen FM56-PLM  (CONEXANT chip set)
"should" be able to AT+FCLASS=8 ?
??????????????????????????????????????

??????????????????????????????????????
OR, is voice capability (vgetty) possible
without the AT+FCLASS=8 ???
?????????????????????????????????????

Unfortunately you have an older '71' datapump and the
voice
functionality has only been tested with the newer '73'
datapump.
This limitation will be documented in the next
version. Also the
modem will no longer report the availability of FCLASS
8 unless
the right datapump is present.

=========================================


On our modem, the command "ATI6"
with minicom gives:
========================
ATI6
DP Part 74
DP Rev  BA
V90     SPX RAM Ver 16
V90     CTL RAM Ver 16
========================

????????????????????????????????????
We observe that the "DP Part 74" is not "73".
Is it possible that the DATADUMP 74
makes the Voice feature unavailable
with the "hcfpcimodem" current driver ?
?????????????????????????????????????

Can we ever hope to use the "voice" features
of this modem (TAM, voice mail...)
with a Linux workstation ?

Thanks,


Nicolas
