Hi!
Below is the text of ModemData.txt
The refered modem is distributed by Phitronics (www.phitronics.com.br), and is reported to
be Linux compatible. The packaged CD contains a wide number of diferent drivers (both
Windows and Linux), but the Debian driver didn't work with my Ubuntu copy. The help files
that come with the modem are not suficient, and are too technical. There was no indication if
the driver was built for Ubuntu (but it was a .deb file).
Best regards.

CPU=i686,
Linux version 2.6.22-14-generic (buildd@palmer) (gcc version 4.1.3 20070929 (prerelease)
(Ubuntu 4.1.2-16ubuntu2)) #1 SMP Sun Oct 14 23:05:12 GMT 2007
scanModem update of: 20071109
The modem symbolic link is /dev/modem -> /dev/sm56
There are no blacklisted modem drivers in /etc/modprobe* files
---ALSA bootup diagnostics ---
The Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) packages providing audio support on your
System,
also includes drivers for some modems. High Definition Audio (HDA) cards can themselves
host
a softmodem chipset, with both audio+modem supported by a snd-hda-intel driver.
The ALSA diagnostics are written during bootup to /proc/asound/ folders.
Modem not detected though HDA card diagnostics, though not excluding
a possible Conexant modem chip impervious to ALSA diagnostics.
Proceeding through alternative possibilties.
Summary card and chipset information is in:
/proc/asound/cards:

There is candidate modem software.
Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.1.3
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.1.3
Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
make utility - /usr/bin/make
Compiler version 4.1
linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-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 fails, with message including some lack of some FileName.h (stdio.h
for example), then
Some additional kernel-header files need installation to /usr/include. The minimal additional
packages are libc6-dev
and any of its dependents, under Ubuntu linux-libc-dev
If an alternate ethernet connection is available,
$ apt-get update
$ apt-get -s install linux-kernel-devel
will install needed pacakage
For Debian/Ubuntu related distributions, run the following command to display the needed
package list:
Otherwise packages have to be found through http://packages.ubuntu.com
Once downloaded and transferred into a Linux partition,
they can be installed alltogether with:
$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb
Checking pppd properties:
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root dip 269256 2007-10-04 16:57 /usr/sbin/pppd
In case of an "error 17" "serial loopback" problem, see:
http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/archive-sixth/msg02637.html
To enable dialout without Root permission do:
$ su - root (not for Ubuntu)
sudo chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
or under Ubuntu related Linuxes
sudo chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
Checking settings of: /etc/ppp/options

see http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-sixth/msg04656.html
Read Modem/YourSystem.txt concerning other COMM channels: eth0
Which can interfere with Browser naviagation.
Don't worry about the following, it is for the experts
should trouble shooting be necessary.
