 In addition you can set the country for the correct recognition of dialling and busy tones, and to adhere to any local (possibly legal) requirements. If you do not set the country, it will default to USA.

-The Linux driver for Agere modems from [http://linux.softpedia.com/get/System/Hardware/slmodem-8718.shtml SmartLink] supports older ThinkPads. However, it does not work with the newer Intel ICH6 controllers (used, e.g., on the ThinkPad {{R52}} and {{T43}}; trouble on the {{G41}} has also been [[Installing Debian on a ThinkPad G41|reported]]). Some users report that AT commands work but dialing does not.

-The {{path|snd_intel8x0m}} kernel module also (incorrectly?) recognizes the [[IBM Integrated Bluetooth III with 56K Modem (BMDC-2)|BMDC-2]]. At least scanModem works with it. About {{path|snd_intel8x0m}} see [[Modem_Daughter_Card_(MDC)|MDC]].
