OK, I think I'm getting somewhere now! But, still don't know how to connect to the Internet. After installing (as advised by Antonio) "build-essential" and "setserial" from the ubuntu cd, and downloading "linux-headers-2.6.15-23-386_2.6.15-23.39_i386.deb" and all the depends files (command "sudo dpkg -i *.deb"), I was able to execute "sudo meke module" and "sudo make install", as you can see: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ brzi@brzi-linux:~$ cd agrsm brzi@brzi-linux:~/agrsm$ sudo make module make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build SUBDIRS=/home/brzi/agrsm modules make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.15-23-386' CC [M] /home/brzi/agrsm/agrsoftmodem.o /home/brzi/agrsm/agrsoftmodem.c: In function 'SetAgrModemInterface': /home/brzi/agrsm/agrsoftmodem.c:106: warning: 'inter_module_put' is deprecated (declared at include/linux/module.h:575) /home/brzi/agrsm/agrsoftmodem.c: In function 'modem_init_module': /home/brzi/agrsm/agrsoftmodem.c:136: warning: 'inter_module_register' is deprecated (declared at include/linux/module.h:571) /home/brzi/agrsm/agrsoftmodem.c:137: warning: 'inter_module_register' is deprecated (declared at include/linux/module.h:571) /home/brzi/agrsm/agrsoftmodem.c: In function 'modem_cleanup_module': /home/brzi/agrsm/agrsoftmodem.c:148: warning: 'inter_module_unregister' is deprecated (declared at include/linux/module.h:572) /home/brzi/agrsm/agrsoftmodem.c:149: warning: 'inter_module_unregister' is deprecated (declared at include/linux/module.h:572) CC [M] /home/brzi/agrsm/serial26.o /home/brzi/agrsm/serial26.c: In function 'serial8250_config_port': /home/brzi/agrsm/serial26.c:1998: warning: unused variable 'ret' /home/brzi/agrsm/serial26.c: At top level: /home/brzi/agrsm/serial26.c:2090: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type /home/brzi/agrsm/serial26.c:2091: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type /home/brzi/agrsm/serial26.c: In function 'serial8250_exit': /home/brzi/agrsm/serial26.c:2523: warning: 'inter_module_unregister' is deprecated (declared at include/linux/module.h:572) /home/brzi/agrsm/serial26.c:2524: warning: 'inter_module_put' is deprecated (declared at include/linux/module.h:575) /home/brzi/agrsm/serial26.c:2525: warning: 'inter_module_put' is deprecated (declared at include/linux/module.h:575) /home/brzi/agrsm/serial26.c: In function 'agr_init_module': /home/brzi/agrsm/serial26.c:2555: warning: 'inter_module_put' is deprecated (declared at include/linux/module.h:575) /home/brzi/agrsm/serial26.c:2561: warning: 'inter_module_register' is deprecated (declared at include/linux/module.h:571) /home/brzi/agrsm/serial26.c: At top level: /home/brzi/agrsm/serial26.c:1881: warning: 'serial8250_request_rsa_resource' defined but not used LD [M] /home/brzi/agrsm/agrmodem.o LD [M] /home/brzi/agrsm/agrserial.o Building modules, stage 2.

Is it in use by another program? Did you configure it properly with setserial?
