Albina,
Your file ModemData.txt clearly and unambiguously says:

BEGIN
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.
END

So if you just look at the URL above, you will discover a file for your kernel 2.6.20-15-generic. Download it and proceed as explained in AgereDSP.txt , a file created by scanModem along with ModemData.txt at the very same place in your computer.

thanks in advance for your help.  somehow I will muddle through all of this

CPU=i686,
Linux version 2.6.20-15-generic (root@palmer) (gcc version 4.1.2 (Ubuntu 4.1.2-0ubuntu4)) #2 SMP Sun Apr 15 07:36:31 UTC 2007
scanModem update of:  2007_August_31


There are no blacklisted modem drivers in /etc/modprobe*  files
USB modem not detected by lsusb


Several modems are supported by drivers with ALSA, the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture software.
Copying ALSA diagnostics to Modem/ALSAmike.tgz
ALSAversion = 1.0.13

Modem or candidate host audio card have firmware information and diagnostics:

The modem has a supported Lucent/Agere  Mars or Apollo DSP (digital signal
processing) chipset. Support packages for 2.6.n kernels are at:

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-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

11C1:0620
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:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-seventh/msg00849.html
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-seventh/msg00970.html
Interaction with experts will likely be necessary to get any of these modems working.

Completed candidate modem analyses.

The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev

Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.1.2
           and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.1.2



Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
 make utility - /usr/bin/make
 Compiler version 4.1
 linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.20-15-generic/build

However some compilations and executable functions may need additional files, in the FileNames.h (so called kernel "h"eaders) collection installed in /usr/include/ . For martian_modem, additional required packages are libc6-dev (and for Debian/Ubuntu, linux-libc-dev). The also required headers of package libc6 are commonly installed by default.



If a driver compilation files with message including some lack of some FileName.h (stdio.h for example.
Some additional kernel-header files need installation to /usr/include.
For Debian/Ubuntu related distributions, run the following command to display the needed package list:
$ sudo apt-get -s install linux-kernel-devel
While some of the files may be on the install CD, others may have to be found through http://packages.ubuntu.com

For Ubuntu Feisty, additional packages required were:
libc6-dev linux-libc-dev
available through http://packages.ubuntu.com/ , if not on the install CD.
Such packages may have different names for other Linux distributions.
Try installing just the libc6-dev, then test the compile again.

In case of an "error 17" "serial loopback" problem, see:

To enable dialout without Root permission do:
$ su - root  (not for Ubuntu)
      sudo chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
or under Ubuntu related Linuxes
sudo chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd

Don't worry about the following, it is for the experts
should trouble shooting be necessary.
