I have no idea how is dialtone implemented or not implemented in Italy, but ATX3 tells the modem not to wait for dialtone. did you tried to dial using a terminal program such as minicom? I haven't the vaguest idea how COUNTRY could influence functionality of a softmodem, but ATDphonenum should work on any kind of modem, right? Thanks for comments, I will surely try your suggestions and report if they work :) Adding ATX3 as a third init string solved the problem so I tone down the severity of the bug.

If you don't have dialtone in Italy (I googled a bit and this seems to be the case), then you must always use this AT command. I'll leave this to your judgement, however I disagree. With the former kernel I waited for dialtone (we have dialtone, or at least that's how we call it, our phones aren't mute when you listen before dialing) and everything worked. I get AT LEAST a very different behaviour, if this is not a bug, I'm glad, if it is it should be fixed, either way I'd like to have a clarification :) (In reply to comment #6) > I'll leave this to your judgement, however I disagree.

Well, it did not work, at least accoding to your original post: > ... or I get it only a few times before the dialer works. What you call "dialtone" is not what your modem accepts as dialtone. The fact that your phone is not mute does not mean that you have the required dialtone that your modem undestands. ATX3 command is the correct solution for these cases and this is definitely not a kernel bug. |
