Steve,
Under your System
CPU=i686, Ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS Linux version 2.6.15-28-386
This modem
Class 0703: 1039:7013 Modem: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] AC'97
Modem Controller
Primary PCI_id 1039:7013
Subsystem PCI_id 1028:0195
Softmodem codec or Vendor from diagnostics:
from Archives: SIL27, an AgereSystems
is in principle supported by a combination of the driver
snd-intel8x0m driver on your System and the slmodemd in the
SLMODEMD.gcc4.tar.gz at
http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/packages/smartlink/
However your System has a configuration problem:
--- Bootup diagnositcs for card in PCI slot 0000:00:02.6 ----
[17179574.092000] ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:02.6[C] -> GSI 18 (level,
low) -> IRQ 185
[17179574.092000] ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:00:02.6 disabled
--------------
for reasons obscure, the kernel has shutdown access to the modem card seated in
PCI slot 0000:00:02.6
Do
$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-modem
On my System (there is output:
# Uncomment these entries in order to blacklist unwanted modem drivers
# blacklist snd-atiixp-modem
# blacklist snd-intel8x0m
# blacklist snd-via82xx-modem
As long as your line
# blacklist snd-intel8x0m
has the leading # (meaning ignore this line) it is OK.
Should it be:
blacklist snd-intel8x0m
Do an edit with:
$ sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-modem
and insert the leading #
Then reboot and rerun scanModem
Also do:
$ dmesg > dmesg.txt
and send us the dmesg.txt
Also read the Bootup.txt , its options may prove necessary.

Do use the following as the email Subject Line:

This will alert cogent experts, and distinguish cases in the Archives.
YourCountry will enable Country Code guidance.

The PCI slot 0000:00:02.6 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.

The audio card is not a modem hosting type.

type.
Lacking a dsp (digital signal processing) chip, the modem is a
software
intensive or "softmodem" type. Its primary controller manages the
traffic
with the CPU. But the software needed is specified in the Subsystem.
-----------------------------------------
Support type needed or chipset: slmodemd
An ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) modem driver:
snd-intel8x0m
provides Low Level support enabling contact with the modem hardware.
For all BUT Conexant chip soft modems (using hsfmodem software)
complementary High Level support is through a Smartlink utility:
slmodemd
Download from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/
the package SLMODEMD.gcc4.0.tar.gz having a compiled slmodemd. Unpack
under Linux with:
$ tar zxf SLMODEMD.gcc4.0.tar.gz
and read instructions therein. But briefly, the modem is setup with
command:
sudo slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY --alsa modem:1
reporting dynamic creation of ports:
/dev/ttySL0 --> /dev/pts/N , with N some number
Read Smartlink.txt and Modem/YourSystem.txt for follow through
guidance.
The diagnostic outputs for this softmodem section have their raw
information in
folders and text files under /proc/asound/ which you can browse. The
information
is from files:
/proc/asound/pcm
-------------------------------
00-00: Intel ICH : SiS SI7012 : playback 1 : capture 1
00-01: Intel ICH - MIC ADC : SiS SI7012 - MIC ADC : capture 1
/proc/asound/modules
-------------------------------
0 snd_intel8x0
and from the command:
aplay -l | grep -i modem

Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.0.3
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.0.3
Kernel-header resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!
If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
