Unknown device, two possibilities:
Do you have Windows on the same machine?
Then
Settings->Control_Panel->System->Hardware->Device_Manager->Modems->Select
your modem ->Drivers (possibly Details->Drivers)
If you see HSF or HCF or CNXT or CONEXANT, you will find instructions in
your Linux directory where scanModem created the file Conexant.txt and
ModemData.txt. Read Conexant.txt. Try this first. If does not work,
REMOVE IT before trying the other possibility explained in Smartlink.txt:
Read Smartlink.txt for details, and
to test get the package SLMODEMD.gcc4.1.tar.gz from:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/
If you do not have Windows, try both in the order which you like (read
Conexant.txt and Smartlink.txt to select the easiest). If the first
choice fails, REMOVE THE INSTALLED FILES before trying the second.

hi, I am a newbie. I managed to get my wifi working but could not get
my dial up modem installed. No modem installed detected by gnome ppp.
I do not know how to intepret my modemdata.txt.
What chipset does my aspire 4315 use. ? Is Alsa modem driver
installed with ubuntu and how do i proceed after identifying chipset.
Thanks.

Lacking a dsp (digital signal processing) chip, the modem is a
software intensive or "softmodem" type. Its primary controller
manages the traffic with the CPU. But the software needed is
specified in the Subsystem. -----------------------------------------
Support type needed or chipset:
Support can likely be achieved through two mutually exclusive
alternatives: 1) The hsfmodem software for Conexant chipset modems:
Read Conexant.txt The following ALSA alternative CANNOT work with
Conexant modems.
2) An ALSA modem driver plus slmodemd. Read Smartlink.txt for
details, and to test get the package SLMODEMD.gcc4.1.tar.gz from:

For owners of a Dell PCs with Conexant HSF modems, a driver source

Writing Smartlink.txt ============ end Smartlink section
=====================
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 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
