I have been trying to setup ncid on an old Lenovo S10-2 laptop that is running ubuntu 14.04.
The modem is a US Robotics 5637
Trying to run ncid version 1.5 that was compiled on the netbook.
The documentation and support seem to be great, but I have run out of things to try.
The comment # was removed for the initialize string line for that modem in the configuration file--thanks very much for including that in the file.
ncidd apprears to hangup the call, but then ncid can no longer communicate with ncidd server and it looks like ncidd terminates. Here is the end of ncidd.log:

It sounds like you might be experiencing the issue described here.
If the steps there do not resolve the issue:
Post the ncidd.log entries from "Started: ..." to "End of startup: ..." for your most recent failed attempt. Verbose level 3 (the default) should be sufficient.
I believe you have hangup = 2 (FAX hangup) in ncidd.conf. Try changing to hangup = 1 (normal hangup) to see if the problem is related to the modem's FAX mode.

Hi Todd,
Thanks very much for the reply. Modem Manager is not installed, nor running. I tried hangup =1, restarted ncidd and ncid. This time it did not automatic hangup at all. So tried hangup=2 again--same result, no hangup. Rebooted the netbook and tried both settings again--no automatic hangup even though nmbrmatch=2 for all of these attempts. Note it is a brand new modem just purchased from amazon. Here is the ncidd log file, from the last start of ncidd with hangup = 1. Thanks, Jeff

Hi John,
Thanks for the reply. I apologize for my errors 1) not reading the log file correctly and 2) on the whitelist. I added my cell to the blacklist to test it out, but forgot to edit the whitelist. Sorry to bother you folks with my mistakes. That fixed, it does appear to work with hangup=1, but not with hangup=2. Hangup=2 does send a fax tone over the line, but then ncid shows the MSG: Serial device 4 pos 0 Hung Up, Terminated 11/07/2016 13:15:10. At that point ncid is no longer connected to ncidd server with the message at the bottom "couldn't open socket: connection refused." The log file information for hangup=2 is included below.
In answer to your question, I don't yet have ncidd set to start at boot, I only manually start and stop it using "sudo invoke-rc.d ncidd stop" or "sudo invoke-rc.d ncidd start" in a terminal.
It would appear to be a modem isue. I will use hangup=1 for now. I ordered this modem because it happened to be mentioned in the ncidd.conf file and was from a known vendor. Is there a better or recommended modem that might work in the hangup=2 mode?
Thanks, Jeff

Do not worry about reading the server log file correctly. There are a lot of lines in the log and you did not know where in the log to look for the problem.
Some modems do not like the pickup command being sent. Maybe your modem will work with pickup disabled. Try disabling it by uncommenting the line in ncidd.conf:
# set pickup = 0
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
John,
Thanks. Tried it with pickup=0 and hangup=2: same results, ncid shows the MSG: Serial device 4 pos 0 Hung Up, Terminated. Is it fair to say this is a peculiarity of this particular modem? Thanks, Jeff

My bad, I should have given you the link to the Wikipedia NCID chart. The 5637 is listed there as not working with FAX hangup, though I believe you are the first to confirm the issue under Ubuntu.

Hi Jeff,
It sounds like you might be experiencing the issue described here.
If the steps there do not resolve the issue:
Post the ncidd.log entries from "Started: ..." to "End of startup: ..." for your most recent failed attempt. Verbose level 3 (the default) should be sufficient.
I believe you have
hangup = 2(FAX hangup) in ncidd.conf. Try changing tohangup = 1(normal hangup) to see if the problem is related to the modem's FAX mode.Hi Todd,

Hi Jeff,
Is this correct:
As Todd indicated, it was the modem manager previously causing the problem.
If it is not the modem manager causing your problem, maybe something else taking control of the modem at boot.
The reason ncidd did not hangup on the call when you manually started it was because it is in your whitelist. From your logfile:
Hi Jeff,
Just making sure -- Modem Manager is installed by default in Ubuntu 14. Did you manually uninstall it?
Hi John,
Thanks for the reply. I apologize for my errors 1) not reading the log file correctly and 2) on the whitelist. I added my cell to the blacklist to test it out, but forgot to edit the whitelist. Sorry to bother you folks with my mistakes. That fixed, it does appear to work with hangup=1, but not with hangup=2. Hangup=2 does send a fax tone over the line, but then ncid shows the MSG: Serial device 4 pos 0 Hung Up, Terminated 11/07/2016 13:15:10. At that point ncid is no longer connected to ncidd server with the message at the bottom "couldn't open socket: connection refused." The log file information for hangup=2 is included below.
In answer to your question, I don't yet have ncidd set to start at boot, I only manually start and stop it using "sudo invoke-rc.d ncidd stop" or "sudo invoke-rc.d ncidd start" in a terminal.
It would appear to be a modem isue. I will use hangup=1 for now. I ordered this modem because it happened to be mentioned in the ncidd.conf file and was from a known vendor. Is there a better or recommended modem that might work in the hangup=2 mode?
Thanks, Jeff

Hi Jeff,
Do not worry about reading the server log file correctly. There are a lot of lines in the log and you did not know where in the log to look for the problem.
Some modems do not like the pickup command being sent. Maybe your modem will work with pickup disabled. Try disabling it by uncommenting the line in ncidd.conf:
John,
Thanks. Tried it with pickup=0 and hangup=2: same results, ncid shows the MSG: Serial device 4 pos 0 Hung Up, Terminated. Is it fair to say this is a peculiarity of this particular modem? Thanks, Jeff
Hi Jeff,
My bad, I should have given you the link to the Wikipedia NCID chart. The 5637 is listed there as not working with FAX hangup, though I believe you are the first to confirm the issue under Ubuntu.
John,
Thanks, great wiki page. I will just use hangup=1 for now and maybe buy a different modem later. Many thanks to you and Todd for your help, Jeff
