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: 2007-20-07
There are no blacklisted modem drivers in /etc/modprobe* files
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:
0 [Riptide ]: RIPTIDE - Riptide
Riptide at 0x3000, irq 9 mpu 0x330 opl3 0x388
gameport 0x200
1 [UART ]: MPU-401 UART - MPU-401 UART
MPU-401 UART at 0x220, polled
2 [I82901ABICH0 ]: ICH - Intel 82901AB-ICH0
Intel 82901AB-ICH0 with CS4299 at irq 9
/proc/asound/pcm:
00-00: RIPTIDE : RIPTIDE : playback 3 : capture 1
02-01: Intel ICH - MIC ADC : Intel 82901AB-ICH0 - MIC ADC : capture 1
02-00: Intel ICH : Intel 82901AB-ICH0 : playback 1 : capture 1
A copy of /proc/asound had been copied to Modem/ALSAstephen.tgz
USB modem not detected by lsusb

There is candidate modem software.
For candidate modem in PCI bus: 01:0d.1
Class 0780: 127a:4311 Communication controller: Rockwell
International Riptide HSF 56k PCI Modem
Primary PCI_id 127a:4311
Support type needed or chipset: HSF.Riptide
Under Linux 2.6.n kernels, the chipset is NOT SUPPORTED . Read
InfoGeneral.txt about alternatives.
For owners of a Dell PCs with Conexant HSF modems, a driver source
package with full speed enabled is available, but requires driver
compiling. Read Conexant.txt
Under 2.4.n kernels install both the RIPTIDE and HCF or HSF drivers,
otherwise the modem will *not* work.
http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/riptide/index.php explains why
this modem which REQUIRES the additional installation of a Riptide
driver.
Under 2.6.n kernels, the hsfmodem package may provide modem support.
But there will be no audio functions. See

Writing Conexant.txt
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

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

Don't worry about the following, it is for the experts
should trouble shooting be necessary.
