Scott,

scanModem only detects PCI card modems, and failed to detect one in
the expected Class 07??  modem category on your System.  Just manually
do
$ lspci
$ lspci -nv
to display all the available PCI info.
Also try to get info on the modem under a Microsoft boot, as described
in SoftModem.txt.

Hi there, I am trying to find out what driver I should use for my
modem so I ran scanModem.  But I can't find what it is suppose to be

--------------------------  System information ----------------------------
 Ubuntu 6.06 LTS
Linux version 2.6.15-23-386 (buildd@rothera) (gcc version 4.0.3
(Ubuntu 4.0.3-1ubuntu5)) #1 PREEMPT Tue May 23 13:49:40 UTC 2006
 scanModem update of:  2006_December_20


USB modem not detected by lsusb

Modem or host audio card candidates have firmware information:

 === Finished modem firmware and bootup diagnostics section. ===
 === Next deducing cogent software ===

 Completed candidate modem analyses.

 The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev

 The kernel was compiled with gcc version 4.0.3 and a compiler is not installed


If compiling a modem driver proves to be necessary, one of the two
procedures must be followed.
If not yet on the Internet, put the Dapper install CD in the drive
Open a terminal and therein:
$ sudo apt-get install  gcc-4.0  make
Additionally the package linux-headers-2.6.15-23-386 must be downloaded.
Go to http://packages.ubuntu.com/  and search for linux-headers-2.6.15-23-386
After downloading, it can be installed with:
$ sudo dpkg -i linux-header*.deb

Or alternatively if online through Ethernet do:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential
will do all the necessary installations mentioned above.

In either installation case, set a symbolic link which will be expected later:
$ sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gcc-4.0  /usr/bin/gcc
After check with:
$ ls -l /usr/bin/gcc*
which should display:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    16 2006-07-09 21:53 /usr/bin/gcc -> /usr/bin/gcc-4.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 93584 2006-04-20 18:22 /usr/bin/gcc-4.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 16245 2006-04-20 18:13 /usr/bin/gccbug-4.0

 Kernel-header resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!

 If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
        gcc-4.0 make linux-headers-2.6.15-23-386


Checking pppd properties:
        -rwsr-xr-- 1 root dip 257720 2006-02-23 11:33 /usr/sbin/pppd

In case of an "error 17" "serial loopback" problem, see:
    http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/archive-sixth/msg02637.html

To enable dialout without Root permission do:
        $ su - root  (not for Ubuntu)
        sudo chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
or under Ubuntu related Linuxes
        sudo chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd

Checking settings of:   /etc/ppp/options
asyncmap 0
auth
crtscts
lock
hide-password
modem
proxyarp
lcp-echo-interval 30
lcp-echo-failure 4
noipx

Read Modem/YourSystem.txt concerning other COMM channels: eth0
Which can interfere with Browser naviagation.

 Don't worry about the following, it is for the experts
 should trouble shooting be necessary.
