I have gone to the Intel site and saw the drivers for a lot of different Linux programs but not Ubuntu. Not sure what to use.

Thanks
Trevor.

Modem or host audio card candidates have firmware information:

 --- 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: 8086:1040 Communication controller: Intel Corporation 536EP Data Fax Modem
      Primary PCI_id  8086:1040
 Support type needed or chipset:	INTEL536EP
 

 In 2006, Intel appears to have ceased updates for Linux.
 For the INTEL537 and INTEL536 chipset modems, the most current support is provided at:
       http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/packages/intel/Philippe.Vouters/
 But regular support is not available, see:  http://archives.linmodems.org/24939
:
 The outdated official Intel support packages can be accessed through:
       http://developer.intel.com/design/modems/support/drivers.htm
 Read Intel.txt and Modem/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance.

 Completed candidate modem analyses.

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

 Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.1.2
             and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.1.2


 
 Compiling resources appear complete:
   make utility - /usr/bin/make
   Compiler version 4.1

or under Ubuntu related Linuxes
	sudo chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
