Need to build driver for Fax/modem

  • Post author:

Issue:

Cannot use internel fax/modem PCI in Sony desktop PCV-LX2

Solution:

Install efax-gtk, but no fax/modem hardware is recognized.
Found out from WindowsXP boot up that the internel fax/modem card is Lucent LT winmodem 2
Use MarvS complete suggestion on ltmodem driver setup which is a step-by-step guide, but for FC4, there are some modifications on the steps.

Tricks:

libstdc++ is required for efax-gtk
In MarvS’ suggested steps, he missed ” ” in the following to make a symbolic link:

KERNEL=ttyLTM0, NAME=%k, SYMLINK=modem

should be:

KERNEL=”ttyLTM0″, NAME=”%k”, SYMLINK=”modem”

There is no /etc/udev/permissions.d dir under FC4, instead amendment should be made to:

/etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules

and the following added line

ttyLTM0:root:uucp:0660

should be modified as following and added to 50-udev.rules

KERNEL==”ttyLTM0″,
