The good news : I've got the HP Datacomm program, and it seems to work
fine with that HP82915 modem board that I mentioned last week.
Amazingly, then, the kermit supplied by HP for the Integral does not
support the modem. Hmmm... One to watch for if you're trying to get one
of these modems to behave.
Alsa, from what I can see the Datacomm program is user friendly (in other
words, hacker hostile). It only lets me set 300 or 1200 baud (why not
110? A 300 baud modem will work at lower baud rates). It only uses the
modem in 'originate' mode. It does pulse dialling, not DTMF (why???)
But it seems to work. My only problem now is getting something for it to
talk to. I have no intention of using it on anything other than a bit of
cable on my bench, so approval is not a problem. Maybe I'll just dig out
an AM7910 chip and start soldering...
