Dear Marc:<br>
I set the OEM FLAGS in /etc/hcfpci/current.inf to the same values as those
in the attached aop8004.inf file. I also set Country#20's (i.e. Canada's)
RELAYS parameters in /etc/hcfpci/current.cty to the same values as those
in this file (with trailing zeros on each line to make it 32 bits long);
I did not need to change Country#20's FLAGS as they were already identical.
However, I was still unable to hear the dial tone and DTMF signals as my
AOpen FM56-P modem went off-hook and dialed the number. The good news is
that although there was no improvement, things didn't get any worse.<br>
<br>
In addition to the aop8004.inf file, I am also including the aop8004.cty
file. Perhaps after viewing them, you will be able to offer some additional
suggestions as to how I may solve my problem. I have been away from this
forum for a long time; so if the problem no longer exists, please let me
know.<br>
<br>
Thank you very much! And I do apologize for taking so long to get back to
you; I have been very busy. <br>
<br>

<pre wrap="">Dear Marc (or whoever wrote the driver):<br><br>My only complaint about the generic driver that I installed yesterday is <br>the fact that I can't hear a dialtone or the numbers being dialed no <br>matter what I do; I tried adjusting the volume both through kppp and at <br>the command line (i.e. kppp's mini-terminal window) using the ATLxMx&W <br>command. According to the documentation supplied, there are supposed to <br>be four volume levels for the speaker:<br><br> * L0 (OFF)<br> * L1 (LOW)<br> * L2 (MED)<br> * L3 (HIGH)<br><br>In addition, there are supposed to be four control modes for the speaker:<br><br> * M0 (OFF)<br> * M1 (ON UNTIL CONNECT)<br> * M2 (ALWAYS ON)<br> * M3 (ON WHEN ANSWERING ONLY)<br><br><br>I tried using all Lx commands except "L0" (I used each with the "M1" <br>command.); when dialing I hear nothing at all levels tested, although I <br>do hear the handshaking signals at a very low volume as my modem <br>connects to
my ISP's modem (They sound the same at all levels tested.). <br>It seems that the "M1" command is functioning correctly because I hear <br>nothing out of my modem's speaker after it connects.<br><br>Perhaps there is an error in the driver; it is probably supposed to do <br>something that affects the volume after receiving an Lx command, but <br>doesn't. Is it not true that an HCF driver is supposed to emulate an <br>absent controller? Is it not also true that it is the controller within <br>a true hardware modem that sets the speaker volume upon receiving and Lx <br>command? It is definitely not a problem with the modem itself because I <br>still hear the Call Progression Tones at their normal volumes from <br>within Windows.<br><br>Although it is not a serious problem, it would be nice to have this <br>fixed in order to prove to the world that HCF modems can be made to <br>function as well from within Linux as they do from within Windows.<br><br>Thanks for helping to dispel
the myth to Windows users that Linux is <br>inferior.<br><br>Salut!,<br><br>Karl<br><br><br><br></pre>
