Sadly
11c1:048c is still NOT supported under Linux,
It is a "software" modem without a digital signal processing (DSP)
chipset. AgereSystems only developes Linux support for a chipset at
the request of a Major Buyer of the chipsets. The 11c1:048? family
has been without support for several years. Best read InfoGeneral.txt
about alternative hardware.

------------ -------------- System information ------------------------
Ubuntu 6.10
on System with processor: i686
currently under kernel: 2.6.17-10-generic
There are emerging complications under 2.6.10 and later kernels.
Concerning code for:
Smartlink slmodem :
slmodem-2.9.9d.tar.gz at
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/
has the current fixes. Related messages are:

http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/ has an
upgrab-winmodem.tar.gz,
providing a driver to alleviate inappropriate capture of a
winmodem by a serial port driver.

The kernel-2.6.17-10-generic was compiled with CONFIG_REGPARM,
providing more compact and faster code.
The kernel was assembled with compiler: 4.1.2
with current System compiler GCC=4.1.2
/usr/bin/gcc -> gcc-4.1
A package kernel-kbuild-2.6.3 or later version must be installed to
support compiling
Checking for kernel-headers needed for compiling.
The kernel-headers have base folder:
/lib/modules/2.6.17-10-generic/build ->
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.17-10-generic
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.17-10-generic
Please install the package WVDIAL for modem testing and dialout.
A /dev/modem symbolic link is not set.

Vendor 11c1 corresponds to Lucent Technologies or subsidiary Agere
Systems, Inc.
Information is at: http://www.agere.com/client/modem_dsp.html.
Produced are both:
1) modems identifiable from their primary PCI IDs and
2) soft modem Subystem chips requiring identification through codec
readouts.
Class 0703: 11c1:048c is still NOT supported under Linux, as of
2005_July_13
It is a "software" modem without a digital signal processing (DSP)
chipset.
The ltmodem drivers from http://ltmodem.heby.de resources for DSP
modems do NOT provide support,
A dialout terminates with "No Carrier" or a Hang if usage of the
ltmodem drivers is attempted.
