Peter Your modem seems supported with the martian driver. Here's in a nutshell how to install them. First, you neet to get the headers matching your current running kernel : $ sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) Then, download those two files, from another connected machine if needed, and put 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, run the following commands : $ 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 last one should start the daemon for your modem so you'll perhaps need to open another teminal window here. Then, we configure wvdial for your modem : $ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf Edit the config file to fill in your login, password and the phone number of your ISP : $ sudo nano -w /etc/wvdial.conf When you're done editing, Ctrl+O to save the file, Enter to confirm and Ctrl+X to exit nano. You should then be able to dial with : $ sudo wvdial Good luck. Feel free to write back if you have problems.
