 scanModem update of:  2007_March_15
The modem symbolic link is /dev/modem -> ttyS0

USB modem not detected by lsusb

Modem or host audio card candidates have firmware information:

 PCI slot	PCI ID		SubsystemID	Name
 ----------	---------	---------	--------------
 00:0a.0	1057:5600	1436:0300	Communication controller: Motorola SM56 PCI
Modem

 Modem interrupt assignment and sharing:

 --- Bootup diagnositcs for card in PCI slot 00:0a.0 ----

 === Finished modem firmware and bootup diagnostics section. ===
 === Next deducing cogent software ===

 For candidate modem in PCI bus:  00:0a.0
   Class 0780: 1057:5600 Communication controller: Motorola SM56 PCI Modem
      Primary PCI_id  1057:5600
 Support type needed or chipset:	Motorola



 Vendor=1057 is Motorola with some service provided through
 vendor=11d4 Analog Devices Inc. Drivers are available for VERY FEW 2.4.n
kernels
   http://www.motorola.com/softmodem/driver.htm
 and for 2.6.n only a Fedora 2.6.9-1.667 at
   http://www.linux-xp-brasil.com.br/sm56-06.09.05-1-fc3-2.6.9-1.667.i686.rpm
 A driver is NOT available for this kernel 2.6.17-5mdvlegacy.

 Motorola seems to be only providing source code to some equipment
mnaufacturers,
 who may provide particular compiled Linux drivers with their products.
 See details in Motorola.txt

---------------- end Motorola section ------------------------


 Completed candidate modem analyses.

 The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
/dev/.udevdb

 The kernel was compiled with gcc version 4.1.1 and a compiler is not
installed

 Kernel-header resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!

 If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
	gcc-4.1 make kernel-source-2.6.17-5mdvlegacy


Checking pppd properties:
	-rwsr-xr-t 1 root root 304536 Aug  9  2006 /usr/sbin/pppd

In case of an "error 17" "serial loopback" problem, see:
    http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/archive-sixth/msg02637.html

To enable dialout without Root permission do:
	$ su - root  (not for Ubuntu)
         chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
or under Ubuntu related Linuxes
	 chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd

Checking settings of:	/etc/ppp/options
lock
noauth
noipdefault
usepeerdns

In case of a message like:
   Warning: Could not modify /etc/ppp/pap-secrets: Permission denied
see http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-sixth/msg04656.html

Read Modem/YourSystem.txt concerning other COMM channels: eth0
Which can interfere with Browser naviagation.

 Don't worry about the following, it is for the experts
 should trouble shooting be necessary.
