Hi I'm replying to share to you my happy experience. I received and downloaded suggested slmodemd tgz files both suggested version, but I also read in the ubuntu help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto and as you pointed some about ALSA driver I followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto/AlsaModem friom there manually downloaded sl-modem-daemon package form packages.ubuntu.com for my version dapper, to have it offline. Finally I started livecd, double clicked sl-modem-daemon_2.9.10+2.9.9d+e-pre2-5build1_i386.deb, it installed OK, I click details in the setup, and showed something like /dev/modem created then configured my modem dialup connection from network center and connected OK, in fact I'm using livecd right now thanks a lot Harold J.

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.
