ScanModem was not able to identify your modem.

Is it INTERNAL in the computer box? Or USB? Or EXTERNAL?
If internal, is it an ISA card?

Your ModemData.txt below says how to easily get informarion on your modem if you have Windows on the same machine (replies to ATI commands given in a Windows modem terminal (screen)).

To whom it may concern,

Hi my name is Jason. I am from New Zealand and am new to Linux. I cannot get my 56k modem functioning with Linux. Here is a copy of the Modem data from scanModem. Please help me get my modem working!

Regards,
Jason

USB modem not detected by lsusb

New HDA card type:



Modem or host audio card candidates have firmware information:

The PCI slot 02:01.0 of the modem card may be disabled early in
a bootup process,  but then enabled later. If modem drivers load
but the  modem is not responsive, read Bootup.txt about possible fixes.
Send dmesg.txt along with ModemData.txt to discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
if help is needed.

Please provide any independent information available on your modem.

    If your modem is mounted on an ISA card, scanModem could not access it.
    If an alternative boot into Microsoft windows can be done, do mouse
clicks on:
Start > Settings > Control Panel > Classical View (for Window XP) > System
Hardware > Device Manager > Modems > Click on the + > Modem. Double click to
expand the graphic. Manufacturer information may be displayed. For example, CXT stands for Conexant. Click the Diagnostics Tab. Record any hardware ID or vendor
and device information.
Next do the Query Modem and record the ATI specifications displayed such as:
   ATI3 - Agere SoftModem Version 2.1.22
   ATI5 - 2.1.22, AMR Intel MB, AC97 ID:SIL REV:0x27
Try to identify the modem setup file, with name perhaps MODEM.INF.
If may contain chipset Vendor informaton.
