Brian To compile stuff on Ubuntu, you neet to install the packages containin the C compiler and your kernel headers. $ sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r) Don't worry, you won't need to go online to get those packagesn the'yre on your Ubuntu CD. Then download those two files in Windows and copy them on your desktop in Ubuntu : http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/packages/ltmodem/kernel-2.6/martian/martian-20061203.tar.bz2 http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/packages/ltmodem/kernel-2.6/martian/martian-full-20061203.tar.gz Then, in Ubuntu, open a terminal and do the following (be careful not to make typos !) : $ cd $ mkdir modem $ mkdir modem/tmp $ mv Desktop/martian* modem $ cd modem $ tar xjvf martian-20061203.tar.bz2 $ tar xzvf martian-full-20061203.tar.gz -C tmp $ cd martian $ cp ../tmp/martian/modem/ltmdmobj.o modem $ make clean $ make $ sudo make install $ sudo depmod -a $ sudo modprobe martian_dev $ sudo martian_modem The daemon for your modem should run in the current terminal window so you'll perhaps need to open another one here. Next, we're going to configure it with wvdial, first make sure it's installed : $ sudo apt-get install wvdial Then run the configuration utility : $ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf And edit the config file to fill in your ISPs phone number as well as your login and password : $ sudo nano -w /etc/wvdial.conf When you're done editing, save the file (Ctrl+O, Enter to confirm) and exit nano (Ctrl+X). You should then be able to dial with : $ sudo wvdial Good luck, feel free to write back if you face problems. Firas.
