Marvin, There is a precompiled slamr for Ubuntu that matches your kernel atthe smartlink section in LinModems Resource Page http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/Ubuntu/ In looking at your tries I see that there is ungrab-winmodem marvin@notebook:~$ cd slamr-2.6.12-9-386bash: cd: slamr-2.6.12-9-386: No such file or directorymarvin@notebook:~$ cd ~/Desktopmarvin@notebook:~/Desktop$ cd slamr-2.6.12-9-386marvin@notebook:~/Desktop/slamr-2.6.12-9-386$ ls1st_Read.txtCountryList.txtlibasound2_1.0.10-2ubuntu4_i386.debsetupslamr.koslmodemdsl-modem-daemon_2.9.10+2.9.9d-6ubuntu1_i386.debslmodem.txtslusb.koungrab-winmodem.kounloadingwvdial.confmarvin@notebook:~/Desktop/slamr-2.6.12-9-386$ which prompts the question, why is this being shown?

Everything should be setup for you. If that does not work,please send your ModemData.txt to list.
