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

but the modem is not responsive, read Bootup.txt about possible fixes.

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.
