Hi,

I installed ltmodem-kv_2.4.20_8-8.26a9-1.i686.rpm on RH 9.0 of my Dell
laptop (please see attached ModemData.txt for the modem details) last
year, but it failed to work. Advised by Jacques and Marvin that the RH 9
version is too old and I should change to use kernel 2.6.

Now, I am ready to install ubuntu 7.04, which file should I download
from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/kernel-2.6?

Please point me an appropriate driver file for Ubuntu 7.

Thank you.

Jim

 The modem hardware is:
   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 DSP (digital signal processing)
 Mars or Apollo DSP  (digital signal processing) chipset:    DSP=1
 http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/packages/ltmodem/kernel-2.6/martian/
 has support packages and information for 2.6.n kernels.
 The martian-20060727-alpha.src.rpm builds RPM installer packages,
 but the martian-20060727.tar.gz will be easier for the novice to use.

 See AgereDSP.txt for Details


 Vendor 11c1 corresponds to Lucent Technologies or subsidiary Agere Systems, Inc.
 Information is at:  http://www.agere.com/client/modem_dsp.html. Several different
 modem chipset types are produced, and some have support under Linux.
 The AgereSystems maintainer for Linux code is Soumyendu Sarkar.
 AgereSystems only initiaties Linux support for a chipset at the request of a
 major chipset purchaser.

 Call waiting specified by, +pcw=1, is not implmented in the ltmodem drivers.

 The Major.Minor versions differ for the

 But there must be a match on the target for driver installation,
 of gcc Major.Minor versions or kernel and drivers!!
 Otherwise the drivers will fail to load with warning:
