Hello, I'm trying to help out a freind to switch to Linux and the main problem
is the winmodem (surprise!). Well here is the modemdata.txt. The modem card
has a phone jack, joystick port, and a speaker out.

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 2006 /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
In case of a message like:
Warning: Could not modify /etc/ppp/pap-secrets: Permission denied
see http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-sixth/msg04656.html
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.
