Furthermore,
What do you see when typing
ls -l /dev/ttyAG*
ls -l /dev/ttySAG*
ls -l /dev/modem
A simple link command may be missing.

Did you configure it properly with setserial?
Please read the FAQ at http://open.nit.ca/wiki/?WvDial
If you still have problems, send mail to <wvdial-list@xxxxxxxxxxxx>.

Drafter,
Compiling fails because you do not have gcc installed:
This is directly from ScanModem output that you have sent. You need
to do this so that your modem drivers can compile
$ sudo apt-get install gcc-4.0 make
Additionally the package linux-headers-2.6.15-23-386 must be downloaded.
Go to http://packages.ubuntu.com/ and search for linux-headers-2.6.15-23-386
After downloading, it can be installed with:
$ sudo dpkg -i linux-header*.deb
If that is unsuccessful, do try the alternate methods provided below.
\begin{QUOTE}
If compiling a modem driver proves to be necessary, one of the two
procedures must be followed.
If not yet on the Internet, put the Dapper install CD in the drive
Open a terminal and therein:
$ sudo apt-get install gcc-4.0 make
Additionally the package linux-headers-2.6.15-23-386 must be downloaded.
Go to http://packages.ubuntu.com/ and search for linux-headers-2.6.15-23-386
After downloading, it can be installed with:
$ sudo dpkg -i linux-header*.deb
Or alternatively if online through Ethernet do:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential
will do all the necessary installations mentioned above.
In either installation case, set a symbolic link which will be expected later:
$ sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gcc-4.0 /usr/bin/gcc
After check with:
$ ls -l /usr/bin/gcc*
which should display:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 2006-07-09 21:53 /usr/bin/gcc -> /usr/bin/gcc-4.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 93584 2006-04-20 18:22 /usr/bin/gcc-4.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 16245 2006-04-20 18:13 /usr/bin/gccbug-4.0
linux-headers-2.6.15-23-386 resources needed for compiling are not
manifestly ready!
If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
gcc-4.0 make linux-headers-2.6.15-23-386
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 package
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

Hope this helps,

I'm having some hard time installing the driver... It's probably
stupid, but I'm an absolute beginner, so please don't laugh :-)
Here's what I did - step by step:
1) downloaded the file "agrsm-alpha.tar.bz2"
2) copied it to "Home folder"
3) started the terminal
4) gave the command "tar jxf agrsm-alpha.tar.bz2"
5) "cd agrsm" and then "ls", all the files are there!
6) "sudo make module", and it's asking me for the password, which I
successfully entered
7) HERE'S THE PROBLEM: the following line showed up: "sudo: make:
command not found". I also tried "sudo make install", and got the same
message.
P.S.
I also tried to enter the command "sudo make module | tee mywork.txt"
as you advised, but I got the following message:
"sudo: make: command not found
tee: mywork.txt: Permission denied"
The same message shows up for "sudo make install | tee -a mywork.txt".
I know I'm doing something wrong, just don't know what...

Absolutelu new in Linux, please help! tnx
ModemData has identified your modem as a Lucent (Agere) 048C supported
by driver AGRSM.
ModemData wrote:
"
AGRSM - At http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/packages/ltmodem/sv92/
Read Agrsm.txt
"
The first line means: this is the place on the Web where you will find
the driver.
The second line means: when you used scanModem to obtain ModemData.txt,
you found ModemData.txt in a directory named Modem.
This directory contains a file named Agrsm.txt. ModemData.txt asks you
to read it.
If a beginner you are likely find hard to read it ans ask yourself why
should you read it.
So, what you can do at the very beginner level is to download from the
address above the file agrsm-alpha.tar.bz2 into your logon directory
Then give the command
tar jxf agrsm-alpha.tar.bz2
This will create a new subdirectory named agrsm . Enter it with command
cd agrsm
Give the command
ls
to see which files are present in this directory agrsm
One is named README
Read it using the command
less README
With this command named less you can read and read back, go to the
beginning with < and to the end with > , you can use the keyboard
arrows, page up, page down, and you use the space bar to get to the next
page.
Now you are ready to build the driver except that with Ubuntu you must
type the commands as follows:
sudo make module
sudo make install
(the command sudo is not quoted in file README, specific to Debian and
Ubuntu systems).
There are several ways to continue.
kppp suggested in README is reasonable.
I personally prefer using wvdial because it gives many messages and
makes life possible when kppp fails.
Details at: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/wvdial.html
PLEASE TELL US THE RESULT, SUCCESS OR FAILURE.
If FAILURE, do not write "there is an error" as this gives us no
information. Please write everything you did and all the error messages.
A good way to do it is to give the commands as follows:
sudo make module | tee mywork.txt
sudo make install | tee -a mywork.txt
The | sign is usually above \ on most keyboards (| visible as if cut in
middle)
The tee command will make a copy of the outputs of make module and make
install into the file so that you just need to send us the file.
If you follow my advice to use wvdial (one step, wvdialconf, then wvdial
every time you want to connect) you can again use the tee command to
record the outputs of wvdialconf and wvdial to help us help you.
