Giancarlo,
The information which you submitted is insufficient.
Please read http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/welcome.html#scanModem

What is immediately needed to answer to you is to know which kernel you use. uname -r would tell, but scanModem also reports which compiler you have and other possible sources of problems, so please use scanModem if you wish us to help you.

Jacques
I send you the file modemData.txt
Thanks
Giancarlo

Your System will have to be setup for compiling.
 Which driver shall I download ?
Thanks

      Primary PCI_id  11c1:0440
 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/
 For a temporary fix for 2.6.18 kernels see 

 See AgereDSP.txt for Details.
  DSP=1

 Vendor 11c1 is Lucent Technologies or subsidiary Agere Systems, 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, 
 and two have support under Linux:

 Lacking a dsp (digital signal processing) chip, the modem is a software 
 intensive or "softmodem" type. Its primary controller manages the traffic 
 with the CPU. But the software needed is specified in the Subsystem.
 -----------------------------------------
Support type needed or chipset:	

Support can likely be achieved through two mutually exclusive alternatives:
1) An ALSA modem driver plus slmodemd.  Read Smartlink.txt for details, and
to test get the package SLMODEMD.gcc4.1.tar.gz from:  
	http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/
2) The hsfmodem software for Conexant chipset modems: Read Conexant.txt

 An ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) modem driver:  snd-via82xx-modem
 provides Low Level support enabling contact with the modem hardware.
 For all BUT Conexant chip soft modems (using hsfmodem software)
 complementary High Level support is through a Smartlink utility:  slmodemd

 Download from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/ 
 the package SLMODEMD.gcc4.1.tar.gz having a compiled slmodemd. Unpack under Linux with:
 	$ tar zxf SLMODEMD.gcc4.1.tar.gz
 and read instructions therein. But briefly, the modem is setup with command:
 	 slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY --alsa modem:1 
 reporting dynamic creation of ports:
	/dev/ttySL0 --> /dev/pts/N   , with N some number
 Read Smartlink.txt and Modem/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance.


The diagnostic outputs for this softmodem section have their raw information in
folders and text files under /proc/asound/ which you can browse. The information
is from files:
	/proc/asound/pcm
-------------------------------
00-01: VIA 8237 : VIA 8237 : playback 1 : capture 1
00-00: VIA 8237 : VIA 8237 : playback 4 : capture 1

	/proc/asound/modules
-------------------------------
 0 snd_via82xx
and from the command:
	aplay -l | grep -i modem


----------------end Softmodem section --------------

scanModem could not identify the Support Type needed from diagnosics or archives.
	If an alternative boot into Microsoft windows can be done, do mouse
clicks on:
   Start > Settings > Control Panel > Classical View (for Window XP) > System
> Hardware > Device Manager > Modems > Click on the + > Modem. Double click to
expand the graphic. Manufacturer information may be displayed. For example, CXT
stands for Conexant. Click the Diagnostics Tab. Record any hardware ID or vendor
and device information.
Next do the Query Modem and record the ATI specifications displayed such as:
    ATI3 - Agere SoftModem Version 2.1.22
    ATI5 - 2.1.22, AMR Intel MB, AC97 ID:SIL REV:0x27
Try to identify the modem setup file, with name perhaps MODEM.INF.
If may contain chipset Vendor informaton.

Writing Smartlink.txt
============ end Smartlink section =====================

 Completed candidate modem analyses.

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

 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
   kernel_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.17-13mdv/build


Checking pppd properties:
	-rwsr-xr-t 1 root root 309400 nov 27  2006 /usr/sbin/pppd

In case of an "error 17" "serial loopback" problem, see:
    http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/archive-sixth/msg02637.html

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

Checking settings of:	/etc/ppp/options


In case of a message like:
   Warning: Could not modify /etc/ppp/pap-secrets: Permission denied
see http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-sixth/msg04656.html

Read Modem/YourSystem.txt concerning other COMM channels: eth0
Which can interfere with Browser naviagation.

 Don't worry about the following, it is for the experts
 should trouble shooting be necessary.
