Carrier Check changed to NO.
Copied below:
"console listing of call",
/etc/wvdial.conf,
ModemData.txt,
YourSystem.txt-selected-text.
These computers have working ethernet interfaces that
I suspect are interfering with getting this working. I
have been turning that off with "ifdown eth0" as
stated in YourSystem.txt. I think they are restarting
and don't know how to get and keep them out of the
way.
These computers are being refurbished now, so if it
would help for me to re-build with a different Ubuntu
version, I can do that very readily; and have more
than one system available for comparison.
Thanks again for the help.

There are no blacklisted modem drivers in

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:

Support type needed or chipset: slamr
The modem is supported by the Smartlink slamr driver
plus the slmodemd helper utility. Read the

through guidance.
Download slamr-2.6.20-16-generic.tar.gz from
http://linmodems.technion.il/packages/smartlink/Ubuntu/
under Linux, open a terminal and unpack with:
$ tar zxvf slamr*.tar.gz
Move into the unpacked folder
$ cd slamr-2.6.20-16-generic
Look around
$ ls
Run the
$ sudo ./setup
Afterwards do:
$ slmodemd --help
$ slmodemd --countrylist &> Clist.txt
If not in the USA, look for your COUNTRY_NAME
therein.
Do and edit with:
$ sudo gedit /etc/default/sl-modem-daemon
and therein replace the USA in the line:
SLMODEMD_COUNTRY=USA
This will provide for the correct Country setting in
the automated:
slmodemd -c COUNTRY /dev/slamr0

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.
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.

Which can interfere with Browser naviagation.
Don't worry about the following, it is for the

should trouble shooting be necessary.

Interfererce with browser naviagation:
-------------------------------------
Other COMM channels can interfere with browsing
under dialout.
Suspect channels set during your scanModem run were
shown by: ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr
00:03:47:FF:3F:1D
inet addr:192.168.1.105 Bcast:192.168.1.255
Mask:255.255.255.0
inet6 addr: fe80::203:47ff:feff:3f1d/64
Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500
Metric:1

frame:0
TX packets:251 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0
carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:236918 (231.3 KiB) TX bytes:29401
(28.7 KiB)
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1

frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0
carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
A block with "lo" is an internal loopback test and
harmless.
However, other COMM channels such as ethernet "eth0"
will block browser function
through dialout connections. Domain Name Services
(DNS) needed for browsing
will be blocked by an ineffective default usage of
the eth0 assigned DNS.
If is wisest to disable bootup establishment of
alternate channels in your Control Center.
Depending on your Linux distribution,
one of the following root/admin commands may
alternatively be effective:
# ifdown eth0
# ifconfig eth0 down
# /etc/init.d/network stop
# /etc/init.d/networking stop
Be wary that some Systems will periodically try to
re-establish internet.
So if browsing should suspiciously fail, recheck
with
ifconfig
