Ivan,
Something traversed my mind last night.
Could it be that you had installed an other driver before the agrsm
(such as the Linuxant HSF or the SmartLink slmoded)?
If this is correct, are you sue that the corresponding software was
completely removed?
Otherwise of course this would explain why wvdialconf says that the
device (modem) may be in use by another program.

OK, thank you very much for your time, you are very kind.
I'll be waiting for Marv's answer.

This has reached the limit of my very limited knowledge on this driver
in particular.
You will have to wait for Marv who knows it in depth. At this time, Marv

Hi! Jacques, I just got to read your mails, you don't have to worry
about me, I will ALWAYS get back to you with the results, and I will
certainly let you people know if my modem starts to work! Thank you
all for helping! But, unfortunately, for now, my modem doesn't work
(yet), but I have plenty of patience, that is, as long as there is
someone willing to help :-)
Here's what I did, folowing Jacques's advice:

Did you configure it properly with setserial?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Don't know if this can help, but I did the following commands again:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
brzi@brzi-linux:~$ ls -l /dev/ttyAG*
ls: /dev/ttyAG*: No such file or directory
brzi@brzi-linux:~$ ls -l /dev/ttySAG*

END
The driver is acting as /dev/ttyAGS3
wvdialconf is able to recongnize /dev/modem which does not exist, and
something starting with /dev/ttyS
Thus you just need this command one time for all:
sudo ln -s /dev/ttyAGS3 /dev/ttySAG
and for later convenience with kppp for example
sudo ln -s /dev/ttyAGS3 /dev/modem
Now sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf will recognize your modem
You will need to edit /etc/wvdial.conf to insert the phone number,
username and password given by your Internet Service Provider.
You can use sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
Its use is obvious.
In the three lines for phone username and password, you will remove the
; at the beginning of the line, the symbols < and >, and on the right
side of the parameter you will replace the word which was between < > by
its value. Then save and exit gedit, and sudo wvdial should get you
connected.
If you need more help now, please do it quickly because I want to go to
sleep.
Jacques
Ivan,
It is EXCEEDINGLY IMPORTANT for us to know if your Agere 48C works now,
after the addition of the link ln -s /dev/ttyAGS3 /dev/ttySAgr and
likewise to /dev/modem
If this has solved your problem, the driver "make install", or at laest
the README file, must be corrected for that omission.
Thanks

Ivan,
Can you please do
sudo lsmod | grep agr
which should show agrmodem.ko and agrserial.ko ?
In case it does not, can you please
sudo modprobe agrmodem
sudo modprobe agrserial
and again sudo lsmod | grep agr in order to verify that the modules
which you compiled are loaded in memory.
At that time
sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
should detect the modem.
From what you reported (see below) you just typed wvdialconf,
not sudo wvdialconf
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.

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.

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:

If a driver compilation fails, with message including some lack of

The minimal additional packages are libc6-dev
and any of its dependents, under Ubuntu linux-libc-dev

For Debian/Ubuntu related distributions, run the following command to

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.
