Both: slmodemd appears to hang, and my dialer program (wvdial) can't communicate with the modem at all. I just tried an old 2.6.24.2 kernel I had, and slmodemd didn't work, but the process was at least killable. Also, instead of the modem not responding, it kept responding "NO CARRIER" immediately after dialing. Good news, though: I got 2.6.28 compiled, and slmodemd appears to work fine. I have a couple unrelated problems to work out before I use 2.6.28 full-time, but I tested running, dialing, and killing slmodemd a few times without any problem. I suppose you can close this bug, then, unless you want me to test anything else. Thanks, Corey -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
