scanModem update of: 2007-20-07 is completely obsolete.
See http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/#scanModem .
However, I do not think that the following has changed.
Your modem uses a Lucent/Agere 441 DSP chipset (Mars).
The driver which you need to install is at location
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/kernel-2.6/martian/
Next from
http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/packages/ltmodem/kernel-2.6/martian/
get the martian-full-20071011.tar.gz
After the primary install, read the Docs and get syntax instructions from
$ martian_modem --help
But basically it is
$ sudo modprobe modprobe martian_dev
$ sudo martian_modem --country=us
should create
/dev/ttySM0 --> /dev/pts/SomeNumber
If so open a 2nd concole of Tab on the running one and
$ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
On some systems there is a failure here, for reasons obscure.
But if successful, edit in your dialout info with
$ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
also adding 2 lines:
# needed for /dev/pts/N ports
Carrier Check = no
Then dial out with:
$ sudo wvdial

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 [SI7012 ]: ICH - SiS SI7012
SiS SI7012 with STAC9721,23 at irq 19
1 [UART ]: MPU-401 UART - MPU-401 UART
MPU-401 UART at 0x330, irq 5
/proc/asound/pcm:
00-01: Intel ICH - MIC ADC : SiS SI7012 - MIC ADC : capture 1
00-00: Intel ICH : SiS SI7012 : playback 1 : capture 1
A copy of /proc/asound had been copied to Modem/ALSAuser.tgz

Support type needed or chipset: Agere.DSP
The modem has a Lucent/Agere/LSI Mars or Apollo DSP (digital signal
processing) chipset.
Support packages for 2.6.n kernels are at:
http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/packages/ltmodem/kernel-2.6/martian/
, with current update martian-full-20071011.tar.gz
See AgereDSP.txt for Details.
Vendor 11c1 is Lucent Technologies with modem technology now under LSI Inc.
Their Linux code developer/maintainer is Soumyendu Sarkar. Support for
a chipset and its
continued maintenance is only initiated at the request of a major
chipset buyer,
or comparable sponsor. Several different modem chipset types are
produced:
with varying support under Linux.

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
