Hi,
I am new to Linux/Ubuntu. I have xp professional and Ubuntu installed
in my machine. I am using firefox browser and dialup(telephone line -
max 50 kbps/s) connection to connect to the internet. It works fine
with xp but im not able to connect to the internet from Ubuntu. I have
gone through various help pages of Ubuntu and performed actions to run
"scanModem". This has created many text files in a new directory
"/Modem".
I have attached the file "ModemData.txt" along with this mail.
I am also not aware of the following points.
1. What are the drivers required for my modem?
2. Where can i get the required drivers for my modem?
3. How to install those drivers in my unbuntu?
I kindly request you to help me in resolving the problem.
Appreciate your assistance at earliest.
Regards,
Boopathi

There are no blacklisted modem drivers in /etc/modprobe* files
PCI slot 00:1b.0 has a High Definition Audio Card
The Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) packages providing audio support,
also includes drivers for some modems. The ALSA diagnostics are written during
bootup to /proc/asound/ folders.
The /proc/asound/ audio+modem diagostics are being copied.
Finished copy to Modem/ALSAboopathi.tgz
The ALSA verion is 1.0.14

Softmodem codec or chipset from diagnostics:
from Archives:
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:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/

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 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
