compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
gcc-4.1 kernel-source-2.6.16.13-4-default
Then follow the instructions in AgereDSP.txt

Hi. My SUSE 10.1 doesn't see my XP's Winmodem. It's a Lucent Agere as
the ModemData.txt file shows. How does one fix this?

--- Bootup diagnositcs for card in PCI slot 01:0b.0 ----
=== Finished modem firmware and bootup diagnostics section. ===
=== Next deducing cogent software ===
For candidate modem in PCI bus: 01:0b.0
Class 0780: 11c1:044c Communication controller: Agere Systems LT WinModem
Primary PCI_id 11c1:044c
Support type needed or chipset: Agere.DSP
The modem has a supported Lucent/Agere Mars or Apollo DSP (digital signal
processing) chipset. Support packages for 2.6.n kernels are at:
http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/packages/ltmodem/kernel-2.6/martian/
See AgereDSP.txt for Details.
DSP=1
Vendor 11c1 is Lucent Technologies with modem technology now under LSI Inc.
Their Linux code developer/maintainer is Soumyendu Sarkar. Support for a chipset and its
continued maintenance is only initiated at the request of a major chipset buyer,
or comparable sponsor. Several different modem chipset types are produced:
with varying support under Linux.

AGRSM - At http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/packages/ltmodem/kernel-2.6/
agrsm-alpha.tar.bz2 potentially provides support for PCI_id chipsets
11c1:048c, 11c1:048f and 11c1:0620
in addition to prior support of Subsystems under Intel 8086:???? below
11C1:048C

11C1:0620
8086:(2416 2426 7196 2486 24C6 24CD6 266D) are soft modem controllers, better
supported through ALSA modem drivers and the Smartlink slmodemd helper.
There has only been one reported success for 11c1:048c, 11c1:048f and 11c1:0620. See:

Interaction with experts will likely be necessary to get any of these modems working.
