Hi,
i use Ubuntu Hardy, kernel 2.6.24-16-386 a.k.a. 2.6.24.3 and i have the
SM56 data/fax modem from motorola. I have the slmodem and ltmodem
modules installed, and i tryied to install both files from sm56.tk
Here's my output from scanModem:

Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.2.3
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.2.3
linux-headers-2.6.24-16-386 resources needed for compiling are not
manifestly ready!
If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
linux-headers-2.6.24-16-386
Compressed files
at: /usr/src/glib-2.14.6.tar.bz2 /usr/src/xmms-1.2.11.tar.bz2
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

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

Read Modem/YourSystem.txt concerning other COMM channels: eth0
Which can interfere with Browser naviagation.
Don't worry about the following, it is for the experts
should trouble shooting be necessary.

Thanks a lot.
