Bill & Kath 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/ The martian-ubuntu-2.6.17-10-generic.tar.gz package has precompiled resources matching your kernel. Under Linux unpack with: $ tar zxf martian*.tar.gz and install with: $ sudo make install However functioning will likely be blocked by the: The modem interrupt (IRQ) is 255 . IRQs of 0 or 255 are not functional!! problem described in ModemData.txt You will have to work around that before $ sudo martian_modem will be effective.
