Dear Neil,
I hate to deliver bad news. Your modem is not supported under Linux.
Under Linux 2.6.n kernels, the chipset is NOT
SUPPORTED . Read InfoGeneral.txt about alternatives.
Regards,
Antonio

Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is:
/dev/.udevdb
The kernel was compiled with gcc version 3.4.5 and a
compiler is not installed
To support compiling, get the
BreezyGCC_3.4_i386.tar.gz from
http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/packages/smartlink/
Kernel-header resources needed for compiling are not
manifestly ready!
If compiling is necessary packages must be installed,
providing:
gcc-3.4 make linux-headers-2.6.12-9-386

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

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