Folks,
As far as I know minicom does not support TCP/IP connections to Internet
Service Providers (ISP).
Almost 100% of the users of a modem today need such a connection and
such a connection only.
Furthermore, with my modest experience, minicom is a pain in the neck to
configure, specially when it is not what the user needs.
May I suggest that the driver be tried with wvdial and the way to do it
be reported?
This will also make easier for the few volunteers to help the novice
users where problems are bound to pop up.

Umar,
Dale and Bambang are both trying to get 11c1:0620 modems functional.
Will you please work with them, since you have been successful? Copy
to Alan & me also. I'll be traveling for 2 weeks starting Wednesday,
and cannot functionally test my advice anyway, without hardware. Copy
to discuss to, so all will be retained in the searchable Archive.
Perhaps the best route forward is
1) to give them the URL for the Debian linux-image packa;ge you are using;
2) send them the matching agrmodem.ko and agrserial.ko, that you have
compiled thereunder as tarball
3) provide the install and test route.
They are both using Ubuntu, but Debian kernels I have tested work fine
thereunder. It there is a success, we can work back to usage under
Ubuntu kernels

Marvin, sorry for the late response.
I have tried the driver Marvin sent me (suse10-2a.tar.bz2) and it works like a
charm. There is no need to add acpi or alike to boot option.
Here is the step:
1. Unpack the tarball
/tmp# tar -jxvf /home/umar/donlot/modem/suse10-2a.tar.bz2
/tmp# cd suse10-2a/
2. Make link to the real kernel source
/tmp/suse10-2a# ln -s /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.18 /usr/src/linux
3. Make the module
/tmp/suse10-2a# make module
4. Install the driver
/tmp/suse10-2a# make install
5. Test it using minicom (read README for detail)
/tmp/suse10-2a# minicom -s
Thank you all. I really appreciate your hard work.

Umar,
The attached suse10-2a.tar.bz2 is the newest (Sept 27 ) Agere/LSI
update of their AGRSM code, which hasn't as yet been merged into our
agrsm package.
First try Hugo's acpi=off suggestion, as that worked for him.
If that doesn't work, move the old agrmodem.ko and agrserial.ko
from the modules tree.
Then try the suse10-2a.tar.bz2 code instead. You may have to fiddle
with the "includes" to get the compile to complete.
Please do report results to the List and Alan Hendrickson
<ubunutu@xxxxxxxxx>. He may not be a List member, but is working on
the AGRSM code.
