Hello,
I just followed the instructions and got the ModemData.txt file.
Previously thanks for your help.

Welcome to openSUSE 10.2 (i586) - Kernel kernel 2.6.18.2-34-default
This will alert cogent experts, and distinguish cases in the Archives.
YourCountry will enable Country Code guidance.

Welcome to openSUSE 10.2 (i586) - Kernel
Linux version 2.6.18.2-34-default (geeko@buildhost) (gcc version 4.1.2
20061115 (prerelease) (SUSE Linux)) #1 SMP Mon Nov 27 11:46:27 UTC

scanModem update of: 2007_Sept_24
The modem symbolic link is /dev/modem -> /dev/ttySL0
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/ALSAroot.tgz
ALSAversion = 1.0.13

New Case Only
-------------------------------------------
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: slmodemd
An ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) modem driver: snd-via82xx-modem
provides Low Level support enabling contact with the modem hardware.
For all BUT Conexant chip soft modems (using hsfmodem software)
complementary High Level support is through a Smartlink utility: slmodemd
Download from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/
the package SLMODEMD.gcc4.1.tar.gz having a compiled slmodemd. Unpack
under Linux with:
$ tar zxf SLMODEMD.gcc4.1.tar.gz
and read instructions therein. But briefly, the modem is setup with command:
slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY --alsa modem:1
reporting dynamic creation of ports:
/dev/ttySL0 --> /dev/pts/N , with N some number
Read Smartlink.txt and Modem/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance.
Already loaded into the kernel is snd-via82xx-modem and audio drivers
it depends on,

is from files:

Writing Smartlink.txt
============ end Smartlink section =====================
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
linux-headers-2.6.18.2-34-default resources needed for compiling are
not manifestly ready!
If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
kernel-source-2.6.18.2-34-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.

To enable dialout without Root permission do:
$ su - root (not for Ubuntu)
