Hi Guys
I am living in Australia. I have just installed a version of ubuntu "hoary" 5.0.4 and am looking at the possibility of getting my modem to function.
I believe I need to send the ModemData.txt to you at this address for further info.
Please help, you seem to be the only one who can assist
Thanks

Class 0780: 11c1:0448 Communication controller: Lucent Microelectronics WinModem 56k
Primary PCI_id 11c1:0448
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/
See AgereDSP.txt for Details.
DSP=1
Vendor 11c1 is Lucent Technologies with modem technology now under LSI 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:
with varying support under Linux.

AGRSM - At http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/packages/ltmodem/kernel-2.6/
agrsm-alpha.tar.bz2 potentially provides support for PCI_id chipsets
11c1:048c, 11c1:048f and 11c1:0620
in addition to prior support of Subsystems under Intel 8086:???? below
11C1:048C
11C1:048F
11C1:0620
8086:(2416 2426 7196 2486 24C6 24CD6 266D) are soft modem controllers, better
supported through ALSA modem drivers and the Smartlink slmodemd helper.
There has only been one reported success for 11c1:048c, 11c1:048f and 11c1:0620. See:

Interaction with experts will likely be necessary to get any of these modems working.
