Manuel,
The model of the computer is not meaningfull.
It even frequently occurs that two "same" computers (same manufacturer,
same model) use different modem chips.
The problem has NOTHING to do with the Linux distribution which you use,
but perhaps with some tool common to the distributions which however may
contain different releases (updates) of the tool.
It would be of great help to the linmodems community if you could
identify the author of the Web page which you quote
http://www.gratisweb.com/linuxaspire9424/#Modem_56k
and ask this person to reproduce what you just did:
BEGIN

/proc/asound/Intel/codec#0:Codec: Generic 11c1 Si3054
/proc/asound/Intel/codec#0:Vendor Id: 0x11c11040
/proc/asound/card0/codec#0:Codec: Generic 11c1 Si3054
/proc/asound/card0/codec#0:Vendor Id: 0x11c11040
END
to see if it also outputs 0x11c11040
If it does appear identically, please give us the address of the author
so that we can get all details.
I am sorry to have to ask for your help: we are a few volunteers and I
have too much urgent work to do to try to reach the author of the Web
page, and in addition I do not know Spanish.
Thanks - Jacques

Sadly, there is no suppport for this particular chipset,
though almost all other Agere Chips are supported.
Read InfoGeneral.txt about other modem alternatives for Linux
Ok, thanks for the help anyway.
BTW, this page here seems to be saying that the modem works in another
Acer notebook, that has just a bigger screen and better video card, but
the rest of the chips seem to be the same as in mine.
It seems that the main difference is that he is running Ubuntu while I
am running OpenSuse 10.3 . I wonder if that can make any difference or
there is really no hope for making this modem work under Linux now.
