downloaded the hsfmodem packages listed in ModemData.txt and installed. Is
found by $ sudo wvdial / etc/wvdial.conf. However, $ sudo
gedit /etc/wvdial.conf returns "sudo: gedit: command not found".
Text of ModemData.txt follows.
Thanks for your help, best regards,

Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) spackage providing audio support
on your System, also includes drivers for some modems. For modems using the
snd-hda-intel audio+modem driver, upgrades to a new ALSA version are
sometimes
necessary to achieve function. See for example:

a bootup process, but then enabled later. If modem drivers load
but the modem is not responsive, read Bootup.txt about possible fixes.

Softmodem codec or Vendor from diagnostics: CXT30, a Conexant type,
from Archives: CXT, a Conexant type,
CXT is a generic for all CXTnumbers, with Linuxant hsfmodem software
support.
Lacking a dsp (digital signal processing) chip, the modem is a software
intensive or "softmodem" type. Its primary controller manages the traffic
with the CPU. But the software needed is specified in the Subsystem.
-----------------------------------------
Support type needed or chipset: hsfmodem
Writing Intel.txt
For owners of a Dell PCs with Conexant HSF modems, a driver source package
with full speed enabled is available, but requires driver compiling. Read
Conexant.txt
The hsfmodem package serves a great variety of Conexant chipset modems.
From http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads-ubuntu-x86.php
download hsfmodem_VersionSpec_k2.6.20_16_generic_ubuntu_i386.deb.zip
with 2.6.20_16_generic equivalent to
2.6.20-16-generic, your kernel version.
Under Linux unpack with:
$ unzip hsfmodem*.zip
Then install with:
$ sudo dpkg -i hsfmodem*.deb
Subsequently, the modem should be found with
$ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
Edit in your personal information with:
$ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
and try dialing out with:
$ sudo wvdial.
See Testing.txt for details.

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/2.6.20-16-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.
Compressed files at: /usr/src/sl-modem.tar.bz2
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.
