Folks
Walt has sweated getting through his ModemData.txt to me because discuss
was rejecting his mails.
He needs the martian driver for a 2.6.22-14-generic [Gutsy, I thought it
would be Feisty but never mind].
Has anyone compiled that combination?
Walt: if you want to try on your own, start with
http://martian.barrelsoutofbond.org/ , read background and instructions
Download
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/kernel-2.6/martian/martian-full-20071011.tar.gz
(more recent that last at http://martian.barrelsoutofbond.org/)
Also you probably have a Lucent.txt or Agere.txt in the Modem directory
where ModemData.txt was generated,
Good luck, don't give up, and we continue to be here to help you.
FYI linmodems.org is not my site, we have no control of it except the owner,

Winmodem is not automagically detected in Gutsy. I've strived to locate solutions via Google and forums. Yours is the closest I've found.
I went back and copied the key lines from dmesg for Dapper where finding the modem wasn't an issue:

I can see lines within ModemData.txt with 'matching' data:

I am at a point of dizziness from wvdial, wvdialconf, pppconfig, setserial, modprobe, trying to find driver 8.26-alk-8, etc. etc. The latest is your MIME Cop that refuses my online Yahoo email. I feel like I am being forced to an Entropy change: a change to a more disordered state.
It seems like is should be SO easy, but has proven elusive.
A helpful solution would be greatly welcomed.
