Anita,

scanModem reports that you need SLMODEMD.gcc4.1.tar.gz

\begin{"}
Support type needed or chipset:    slmodemd supporting the snd-hda-intel audio+modem driver
An ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) modem driver:  snd-hda-intel
provides Low Level support enabling contact with the modem hardware.
For all BUT Conexant chip soft modems (using hsfmodem software)
complementary High Level support is through a Smartlink utility:  slmodemd
Download from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/ 
the package SLMODEMD.gcc4.1.tar.gz having a compiled slmodemd. Unpack under Linux with:
    $ tar zxf SLMODEMD.gcc4.1.tar.gz
and read instructions therein. But briefly, the modem is setup with command:
    sudo slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY --alsa hw:0,6
reporting dynamic creation of ports:
    /dev/ttySL0 --> /dev/pts/N  , with N some number
Read Smartlink.txt and Modem/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance.

\end{"

Regards,

Antonio

CPU=i686,  
Linux version 2.6.20-15-generic (root@palmer) (gcc version 4.1.2 (Ubuntu 4.1.2-0ubuntu4)) #2 SMP Sun Apr 15 07:36:31 UTC 2007
scanModem update of:  2008_03_01


lsmod utility not found! Install the package modutils
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 ALSA verion is 1.0.13
The modem cards detected by "aplay -l"  are:
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 6: Si3054 Modem [Si3054 Modem]

The /proc/asound/pcm file reports:
-----------------------
00-06: Si3054 Modem : Si3054 Modem : playback 1 : capture 1
00-00: STAC92xx Analog : STAC92xx Analog : playback 1 : capture 2

about /proc/asound/cards:
------------------------
0 [Intel          ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel
                      HDA Intel at 0xd8240000 irq 21

The modem codec file for the the HDA card is: /proc/asound/card0/codec#1
--------------------------------------------------------
Codec: Motorola Si3054
Address: 1
Vendor Id: 0x10573057
Subsystem Id: 0x10001
Revision Id: 0x100100

The audio card hosts a softmodem chip:  0x10573057

The softmodem chip 0x10573057 is in principle supported by the COMM support of slmodemd 
and the joint snd-hda-intel audio+modem driver, begun with ALSA version 1.0.13.  
For HDA cards with ALC883 chips, an upgrade to ALSA verions 1.0.15 way be necessary. Instructions for upgrading snd-hda-intel and its dependent driver set are at: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/archive-seventh/msg00282.html

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:    slmodemd supporting the snd-hda-intel audio+modem driver

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

Completed candidate modem analyses.

The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev

Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.1.2
            and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.1.2



Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
  make utility - /usr/bin/make
  Compiler version 4.1
  linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.20-15-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


Checking pppd properties:
    -rwsr-xr-- 1 root dip 269224 2007-04-04 23:41 /usr/sbin/pppd

In case of an "error 17" "serial loopback" problem, see:
    http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/linmodems/archive-sixth/msg02637.html

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

Checking settings of:    /etc/ppp/options
asyncmap 0
noauth
crtscts
lock
hide-password
modem
proxyarp
lcp-echo-interval 30
lcp-echo-failure 4
noipx

In case of a message like:
  Warning: Could not modify /etc/ppp/pap-secrets: Permission denied
see http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-sixth/msg04656.html

Read Modem/YourSystem.txt concerning other COMM channels: eth0 eth0:avah
Which can interfere with Browser naviagation.

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