Hello,
Here is my ModemData.txt file.
I just installed linux and it does not recognize my modem.
Thanks in advance for your help

With this Subject Line cogent experts will be alerted, and useful case names left in the Archive.
YourCountry will enable Country specific guidance. Your contry's local Linux experts
can be found through: http://www.linux.org/groups/index.html.
They will know your Country's modem code, which may be essential for dialup service.

There are no blacklisted modem drivers in /etc/modprobe* files
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/ALSAroot.tgz
The ALSA verion is 1.0.13
The modem cards detected by "aplay -l" are:

Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
The kernel was compiled with gcc version 4.1.2 and a compiler is not installed
linux-headers-2.6.18-5-686 resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!
If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
gcc-4.1 linux-headers-2.6.18-5-686
For Debian and some related distributions, a package kernel-kbuild-2.6-18 may be needed to support driver compiling
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

In case of an "error 17" "serial loopback" problem, see:

To enable dialout without Root permission do:
$ su - root (not for Ubuntu)
chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
or under Ubuntu related Linuxes
chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd

Don't worry about the following, it is for the experts
should trouble shooting be necessary.
