Harold,

There is a  SLMODEMD.4.0.tar.gz package which will better match the
gcc version 4.0.3
of your system.

Archival information is that
8086:24c6 1025:003d Modem: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM
has an Agere chipset, which as Antonio instructs si in priniciple
supported by the SLMODEMD resource.

However there is a primary problem:
[4294670.728000] ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:00:1f.6 disabled

If modem drivers load but the  modem is not responsive,
read Bootup.txt about possible fixes.

Harold,

You need to get precompiled SLMODEMD.tar.gz

Support type needed or chipset: slmodemd

 An ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) modem driver:  snd-intel8x0m
 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-1.0.13.tar.gz having a compiled slmodemd. Unpack under Lin
ux with:
        $ tar zxf SLMODEMD-1.0.13.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.

I have run
# ./scanModem test and it confirms that SLMODEMD is needed.

[root@localhost ~]# ./scanModem test 8086:24c6 1025:003d

 From http://limodems.technion.ac.il , get a recent update of scanModem,
 if this copy was not there obtained. There are weekly updates.

Analysing card in PCI bus 00:08.0, writing to scanout.00:08.0
        Modem with PCI ID 8086:24c6 is in the software modem category.
 The modem driver snd-intel8x0m is Not loaded.

 To enable functional diagnostics, please either briefly login as Root:
         su - root (Not for Ubuntu)
 and unload and reload the modem driver
          modprobe -r snd-intel8x0m
          modprobe snd-intel8x0m
 Exit Root status
         exit
 and rerun
        ./scanModem

Using scanout.00:08.0 data, and writing guidance to ModemData.txt

There was a failure to acquire modem codec information, suggesting either
a Conexant modem chip, not supported by the ALSA modem driver snd-intel8x0m,
of that snd-intel8x0m may require reloading. Please with Root permission do:
         modprobe -r snd-intel8x0m
         modprobe snd-intel8x0m
Then rerun
        ./scanModem
