Have you started the smartlink modem daemon and checked if the modem is recognized?
$ dpkg -l | grep sl-modem
$ sudo /etc/init.d/sl-modem-daemon start

[Hariharan (t-hariharan)]

after using this command the modem device was detected.But it is not connected through kppp application

[Torsten Spindler (tspindler)]

Can you control the modem by typing code in the device file? E.g.

Terminal 1:
$ cat /dev/modem

Terminal 2:
$ sudo cat > /dev/modem
atz

See if you see 'ok' in Terminal 1 or not.

This bug had no update from you for a month, I set it to invalid as the status is unclear.

[Hariharan (t-hariharan)]

I got a driver for this modem controller from the bellow link.

http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/

during the installation it shows modem device found on /dev/ttySAGR.

internet is also connecting through wvdial.

but in KPPP and gnome-ppp modem device /dev//ttySAGR. option is not available. So I am unable to connect Internet through KPPP and gnome-ppp.

please help to resolve this problem.

[Torsten Spindler (tspindler)]

Try to make a link from /dev/modem to the specific device and see if
this helps.

[Hariharan (t-hariharan)]

yes, it was done by using bellow command

ln -s /dev/modem /dev/ttyAGS3

But it shows unable to find modem device.

Another alternative to test the modem is to install minicom if possible.

[Hariharan (t-hariharan)]

Now modem is working fine by using bellow command

modprobe agrmodem
modprobe agrserial

ln -s /dev/ttyAGS3 /dev/modem
ln -s /dev/ttyAGS3 /dev/SAGR

now internet is working through gnome-ppp.

Thanks.
