I have two modems connected to this computer,
One is a serial Modem : SwannSmart Pro Surfer SW-M-SSPS
one is internal WinModem : Netcomm v90 IN5920
And I have another two WinModems to try if these fail, they are both PCI
Please help, I so want to be part of the Linux Soloution.

They will know your Country's modem code, which may be essential for
dialup service.

Vendor 11c1 is Lucent Technologies with modem technology now under LSI Inc.
Their Linux code developer/maintainer is Soumyendu Sarkar. Support for
a chipset and its
continued maintenance is only initiated at the request of a major
chipset buyer,
or comparable sponsor. Several different modem chipset types are
produced:
with varying support under Linux.

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
