As others have said, the problem with softmodems is nobody has been motivated to produce drivers, even though it wouldn't be that hard in most cases. I think it would be especially hard to get people motivated to produce drivers for your ICH4 modem, as that's a pretty old chipset. Intel have moved from AC97 to the high definition audio scheme since then. I think that means any drivers for a modern chipset won't work for yours, and the modern chipsets are seldom plumbed to a modem port. Its all a bit of a dead end, really.

Hello,
I'm pretty new to the whole idea of using Linux as telephone central . I tried to setup Asterisk at first but failed. Although I have managed to install it I was unable to "call my computer". That's why I was hoping to deal with FreeSWITCH better. Please tell a noob like myself how to make this finally work. Keep in mind that something that is clear to you to me is probably a dark magic. For instance in installation guide there are mentioned few different ways to connect to a modem. Which method should I use if it comes to my modem :
$ lspci -d 8086:24c6 -vvv 00:1f.6 Modem: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Modem Controller (rev 03) (prog-if 00 [Generic]) Subsystem: Toshiba America Info Systems Device 0001 Control: I/O+ Mem- BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx- Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=medium
TAbort-<TAbort-<MAbort->SERR-<PERR- INTx- Latency: 0 Interrupt: pin B routed to IRQ 4 Region 0: I/O ports at 2400 [size=256] Region 1: I/O ports at 2000 [size=128] Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2 Flags: PMEClk- DSI- D1- D2- AuxCurrent=375mA PME(D0+,D1-,D2-,D3hot+,D3cold+) Status: D0 NoSoftRst- PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=0 PME- Kernel driver in use: Intel ICH Modem
Thanks in advance
