This is the first clean success report, using the
linux-image-2.6.21.0-22_2.6.21.0-22_i386.deb , 15 MB
package containing compatile agrmodem + agrserial drivers.
The rest of the installation is Ubuntu, with these alternate
2.6.21.0-22 kernel+modules installed.
Currently, an effort is in progress to "fixscript" the driver pair to
work with "neighboring kernels.
More later

Hi Marvin:
I installed the kernel version you have provided, rebooted the system,
loaded the driver and everything worked. I have successfully connected
to a ppp. After a long time it was a great thing to me.
Right now, I'm only missing a driver for my current kernel version.
But I can wait. :)
Thanks,
Abel.

The first thing needed is a check or the putatively functional drivers.
This can be done by downloading from
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/ , the
linux-image-2.6.21.0-22_2.6.21.0-22_i386.deb , 15 MB
This package contains compatile agrmodem + agrserial drivers.
Install with:
$ sudo dpkg -i linux*.deb
Reboot into the new 2.6.21.0-22 kernel option.
Then
Run the modem tests as described in the attachment
i.e.
$ sudo modprobe agrmodem
$ sudo modprobe agrserial
Check for a port creation:
$ ls -l /dev/ttyAGR3
If present:
sudo ln -s /dev/ttyAGS3 /dev/ttySAGR
sudo ln -s /dev/ttyAGS3 /dev/modem
Then check for modem detection with:
$ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
Then report back
