Have Linux set up in a separate partition on a Toshiba A135-S7406
laptop with Vista in main partition.  Would like to set up dial-up
internet access.

Appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance

--------------------------  System information ----------------------------
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:
--- no soundcards ---

/proc/asound/pcm:


 A copy of /proc/asound had been copied to Modem/ALSAdad.tgz
 PCI slot 00:1b.0 has a High Definition Audio Card
USB modem not detected by lsusb

For candidate card, firmware information and bootup diagnostics are:

 PCI slot	PCI ID		SubsystemID	Name
 ----------	---------	---------	--------------
 00:1b.0	8086:27d8	1179:ff01	Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G 

 Modem interrupt assignment and sharing: 
 --- Bootup diagnostics for card in PCI slot 00:1b.0 ----
[   14.032000] ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:1b.0[A] -> GSI 22 (level, low) -> IRQ 21
[   14.032000] PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:00:1b.0 to 64
[   14.784000] ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:00:1b.0 disabled
[   14.784000] HDA Intel: probe of 0000:00:1b.0 failed with error -16

 The PCI slot 00:1b.0 of the modem card may be disabled early in 
 a bootup process,  but then enabled later. If modem drivers load 
 but the  modem is not responsive, read Bootup.txt about possible fixes.
 Send dmesg.txt along with ModemData.txt to discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
 if help is needed.

  The High Defintion Audio card with PCI ID 8086:27d8 may host a soft modem chip.
 Softmodem chip 0x11c11040 is not yet supported under Linux,

Writing Intel.txt


 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-- 1 root dip 269256 2007-10-04 15:57 /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
asyncmap 0
noauth
crtscts
lock
hide-password
modem
proxyarp
lcp-echo-interval 30
lcp-echo-failure 4
noipx

In case of a message like:
   Warning: Could not modify /etc/ppp/pap-secrets: Permission denied
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.
