Dave Brad's patch is for the agrsm software package. But for > Class 0780: 11c1:044e Communication controller: Agere Systems LT > WinModem > Primary PCI_id 11c1:044e > Support type needed or chipset: Agere.DSP it is the martian package which you need from http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/packages/ltmodem/kernel-2.6/martian/ the martian-full-20071011.tar.gz The compiling is EASY. The major nuisance is the prelimiary downloads. >From http://packages.ubuntu.com , use the search panel to get linux-libc-dev and libc6-dev Under Linux both can be installed with $ sudo dpkg -i li*.deb That done unpack the martian-full-20071011.tar.gz , $ tar zxf mar*.tar.gz and move in $ cd martian-full-20071011 ALL that is then involved in the compiling and installation is: $ make clean $ make $ sudo make install Read the included documentation on setting up the modem and dialing out.
