 Syed,
Would you please download scanModem again (from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages)?
 I suspect that the version which you used (20.12.2006) has a bug.
 Indeed scanModem does identify your modem chipset as
00:03.1 115d:000c 8086:2408 Serial controller: Xircom Mini-PCI V.90 56k Modem Now our Martian/Agere/DSP expert who is also the author of scanModem is on travel for an other week. My very limited experience however is that Xircom modems are not supported at all under Linux, and I do not see in your ModemData.txt anything suggesting that your modem uses an AGERE DSP chipset. There is no point debugging a driver which, if my guess is right, is not relevant for your modem.

Thanks - Jacques

I have downloaded the file
martian-full-20061203.tar.gz

from
http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/packages/ltmodem/kernel-2.6/martian/

After downloading I unpacked the file into my root folder. There I executed the command 'make'. The error that I received was...

Thankyou for your help.

USB modem not detected by lsusb

Modem or host audio card candidates have firmware information:

PCI slot    PCI ID        SubsystemID    Name
----------    ---------    ---------    --------------
00:03.1 115d:000c 8086:2408 Serial controller: Xircom Mini-PCI V.90 56k Modem

Modem interrupt assignment and sharing:
11:       1104          XT-PIC  uhci_hcd:usb1, yenta, yenta, eth0, CS46XX

--- Bootup diagnositcs for card in PCI slot 00:03.1 ----
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:03.1[A] -> Link [LNKC] -> GSI 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11

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

For candidate modem in PCI bus:  00:03.1
  Class 0700: 115d:000c Serial controller: Xircom Mini-PCI V.90 56k Modem
     Primary PCI_id  115d:000c
Support type needed or chipset:    Agere.DSP


The modem has a supported Lucent/Agere  Mars or Apollo DSP (digital signal
processing) chipset. Support packages for 2.6.n kernels are at:
http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/packages/ltmodem/kernel-2.6/martian/
For a temporary fix for 2.6.18 kernels see

See AgereDSP.txt for Details.
 DSP=1

Vendor 115d is XIRCOM, which was purchased by Intel
The following devices have Lucent/AgereSystems DSP chipsets supported by the
Martian variant of the AgereSystems ltmodem software.

   XIRCOM 0x115d          0x0000-0x000F
   XIRCOM 0x115d          0x0440-0x045c
   XIRCOM 0x115d          0x0010-0x03ff


Completed candidate modem analyses.

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

Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 3.3.1
            and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 3.3.1


Compiling resources appear complete:
  make utility - /usr/bin/make
  Compiler version 3.3
  kernel_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.16.27.tex1.lve/build


Checking pppd properties:
   -rwsr-xr-t  1 root root 300248 Jul 23 18:10 /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)
        chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
or under Ubuntu related Linuxes
    chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd

Checking settings of:    /etc/ppp/options
lock
noauth
noipdefault
usepeerdns

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.
