[hsflinux] All seems to be OK but nothing goes out to phone line!

[Linuxant modem support]

Hi,

this is most likely a FLAGS/RELAYS issue. Please look for a .cty or .inf
file with your windows driver and then find the RELAYS and FLAGS settings in
that file. You will need to import these settings in the appropriate INF
file under Linux.

To find out which INF file to modify, run "hsfconfig --info". After
importing the settings under the correct country section (ITALY settings
start with "HKR,Country\0012,"), you will need to run "hsfconfig --country"
to update the nvram.bin file that is used by the modem.

Please let us know if it works.

Thank you,

On a Fujitsu-Siemens C 1020 laptop, running Mandrake 9.1, I
have installed the appropriate driver
(hsflinmodem-5.03.27lnxtbeta03042700) for the Conexant
internal modem.

Everything appears to be OK, the proper modules are loaded,
the proper /dev are created, and if I try manual commands, I
get the right answers from modem device. If I call the
telephone number from outside, I get RING messages, as expected.

But when I try to dial the ISP telephone number I get after
a long wait a NO CARRIER message. By using a telephone
receiver in parallel with the line, I notice that no dial
tones are sent to phone line. I tried to fool the modem, by
manually dialling  the number, but also in that case I hear
the modem tones from the remote, but nothing comes out from
local modem.

Useless to say that under Windows (God confound them!) it
works, and if I carry the same test, I can hear dial tones
not only from PC speaker, but also from a telephone receiver
in parallel.

Anybody has any idea?

Thanks in advance
