Marvin, Thank you very much for your help and pacience! Following Jacques' advice I tried installing a binary package. Installation seems to be ok, but it seems is not possible to load the module. I'm wondering if this version of the module (8.31.a8) goes fine for my modem. As I can see in scanmodem output my modem is an Askey variant of LT. My scan modem output: UPDATE=2004_Sept_09 Providing detail for device at PCI_bus 0000:00:09.0 with vendor-ID:device-ID ----:---- Class 11c1:0441 (rev Communication controller: Lucent Microelectronics 56k WinModem (rev 01) SubSystem 144f:110d Askey Computer Corp. Lucent Win Modem 0000:00:09.0 0780: 11c1:0441 (rev 01) Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 0, IRQ 11 Memory at e4901000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=256] I/O ports at d000 [size=8] May I be installing the appropiate driver version for that modem? I usually use that modem with a live cd of DSL distro. That distro brings the ltmodem module built-in and the modem is autodetected on startup. So I supouse there might be a way of installing it on debian. I'll take this work with pacience and tryin' to learn more about linux.

Everything else seems OK. More broadly, you should upgrade to some 2.6.n installation in possible. i no longer have a 2.4.n Linux, so it is difficult to troubleshoot for these older kernels.
