Hello!
I have an 1998 Gateway GP-350. I've just installed
Ubuntu 7.10. The machine
also has an NT4 OS. Previously, it had an ancient
RedHat 5.1 Linux where the
modem was detected correctly and functional.
I obtained scanModem and ran it. ModeemData.txt data
is at the bottom.
The file YourSystem.txt refers to a WinModems but I
believe this is
incorrect from data immediately below. It appears to
be an Texas Instruments
405/504 chip set on an ISA bus.
What's the next step to get a working driver?
Thanks,
Ed

CODEC chip:
http://support.gateway.com/s/MODEM/O00577/O0057710.shtml
matches chip numbers at
http://xmodem.org/chipsets/ti/ti_405_504.html
which states:
Texas Instruments 405/504
Chipset data:
Manufacturer
Texas Instruments a custom chipset for U.S.
Robotics
Applications
Full hardware modem.
Linux support
The 405/504 hardware modems are supported by
setserial and the Linux kernel.
This page is linked from XMODEM's "Model 5642, US
Robotics 56K Voice Faxmodem Internal, TI
TL16CFM504APJM/D17804PJ chipset" on
http://xmodem.org/modems/isa_list.html
so it's an ISA modem. That's why the lspci below found
nothing.

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: 20071114
There are no blacklisted modem drivers in
/etc/modprobe* files
USB modem not detected by lsusb
There is candidate modem software.
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
