Carlos,
Very interesting. For all the Winmodems,some participants of
[EMAIL PROTECTED] have had that No Dialtone problem.
Little headway has been made in resolving it except when the No PNP OS
helps.
However my laptop is a twin of yours, a Compaq 1500c under Debian
Concur that it seems impossible to access a BIOS menu, and that pnpdump
reveals nothing relevant.
But with kernels from 2.2.14 -> 2.4.0, ltmodem.o support has been
flawless. The exception as reported to the Linmodems List a while back,
was when the "natural" irq choice was forced away by using setserial.
Thus thus might be a good opportunity between our laptops to get some
grasp on the No Dialtone plague.
Do check your wvdial config because my recommended INIT strings were:
Init1 ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 S11=55 +FCLASS=0
or in the /etc/chatscripts/provider
"" ATZ
OK ATQ0V1E1S0=0&C1&D2M0S11=55+FCLASS=0
with M0 just giving sound
Please try the following and report back. It you can compile a lean
kernel, please do with every thing possible as modules, specifically
including serial.o support. It's OK to compile in ps2 mouse, vfat,
msdos, slhc, cp437( US/Canada font support)
I'll send you my config-2.2.17 seperately.
After bootup
/etc/init.d/pcmcia stop
rmmod sound_modules
rmmod everything else you can including serial.o
alias ls="ls"
just to get rid of ANSI symbols from the record:
script ltl.log
cat /proc/interrupts
lsmod
Access the syslog in the backgound with:
tail -f /var/log/syslog &
Enter will still give you a command prompt through the messages
insmod ltmodem
cat /proc/interrupts
pon
lsmod
cat /proc/interrupts
Presumable you will still get NO DIAL TONE, or we've lost a good
experiment.
poff
wait a couple of seconds
rmmod ltmodem
lsmod (sometimes I have to poff, rmmod twice to unload ltmodem)
exit
Saves the lt1.log
which is a good idea because the Next sometimes crashes the Laptop
script lt2.log
cat /proc/interrupts
for your lowest available irq:
setserial /dev/ttyLT0 irq N-lowestAvailable
lsmod should show ltmodem inserted
pon
AND repeat as above cyclically,
testing all your avialable irqs.
When my laptop greets me at work in the AM, you report to use will have
arrived from England, and we'll take it from there.

I've discovered an update to Linmodems' Page about Lucent Modem for the
2.2 and 2.4 kernels ( http://walbran.org/sean/linux/stodolsk/ ).
I'm a Debian user (potato, kernel version 2.2.17) and I installed
successfully ltmodem driver. When I used 2.2.12 kernel, original ltmodem
driver was perfect. But this last one driver doesn't run.
At Sean's page above, there was an information:
"If the installation goes smoothly, but you get a 'No Dialtone' response
from the modem, you might be able to fix it by changing the BIOS
Plug-n-Play settings: select "non-PNP OS" or "Other OS" rather than the
(probable default) "PNP OS" or "Windows." Check also if the modem has a
nonzero IRQ value by issuing the command lspci -vv and looking for your
modem card in the output."
I have a Compaq Armada 1500C and I get a NO DIALTONE from modem, but I
can't change BIOS settings (there isn't these options).
Have you any suggestion?
Thanks a lot!
Carlos Menezes.
