Hi,
After 1 try with the package alk-9, I just noticed that with a fresh OS
install with lsmod it includes martian_dev - would that conflict or be
useful?
(If in the install I select Lucent Winmodem as dial-up option it gives
me a message ltmodem_kernel not installed. I couldn't find out about that.)
If I go back to martian modem, just installing the other bit, do you
think that may be worthwhile?
Thanks again,
Rob

Try the package http://www.monetra.com/~brad/ltmodem-2.6-alk-9.tar.bz2
and report back,

Rob,
It is not obvious to me what the problem is with martian code on your System.
You could try the altenate ltmodem-alk package
I'll have more time this evening.
Must get to my regular job now.

Did that, worked - dialed out any way with com3, irq10, address 1440,

Is this getting us any where?
Is it worth trying the old system? If so, how do I do that?
Thanks for the help,

Please do!

Hi,
Was not successful with the wvdialconf.
Same result again.
It checks ttySM0 but no modem detected. It was the same result as below.
I don't know what to do. - I could try it in a window machine to test
the modem out?

Rob,
After the
# martian_modem --country=au
leave it running throughout a modem session, as it is needed
throughout further actions.
Open another consoleTAB or new console to do test:
# wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
If successful:
# gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
to add you dialout info and a line needed for /dev/pts/N ports.
Carrier Check = no
Then Save. It the same console try
# wvdial

Hi,
Again on a fresh install I followed instructions in AgereDSP.txt
Here is my output - the last step or two seems a little different.
Hope this is helpful?
Hopefully,

Sorry, no modem was detected! Is it in use by another program?
Did you configure it properly with setserial?

Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
/dev/.udevdb
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.1.1
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.1.1
Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
make utility - /usr/bin/make
Compiler version 4.1
linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.18.8.tex5/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.
