2. Software modem configuration¶

Support¶

Calculate Linux supports most software modems. The installer does not scan your system for a modem, it must be activated manually.

Setup¶

To launch the modem daemon, execute:

/etc/init.d/slmodem start

If the program recognizes the modem, a new device will appear, /dev/ttySL0; otherwise, try to modify the HW_SLOT option in /etc/conf.d/slmodem by setting it to "modem:1" and then execute:

/etc/init.d/slmodem restart

Daemon autostart¶

To add the modem daemon to autostart, execute:

/sbin/rc-update add slmodem default
