NB

Most likely you will need other modem hardware for service under Linux.
Motorola provides support for only a few Linux kernels of the RedHat
distribution.
Read InfoGeneral.txt  about alternatives.

 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

 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:

In case of an "error 17" "serial loopback" problem, see:

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

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.
