David, Your ModemData.txt reveals a minor scanModem output bug. Please run: $ bash -x ./scanModem 2>&1 | tee david.txt and send the david.txt to me directly. However there is enough info to explain your System. Your High Definition Audio card hosts an AgereSystems/LSI softmodem CHIP=0x11c11040 for which Linux service is available only under a particular Red Flag kernel 2.6.21-20 General usage information for the agrmodem+agrserial drivers get from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/sv92/ get the agrsm_howto.txt For your 2.6.24-18-generic Kubuntu system, you could download from, http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/ the linux-image-2.6.21.0-22_2.6.21.0-22_i386.deb It contains a 2.6.21.0-22 kernel +modules including the modem agrmodem + agrserial drivers, sadly only matched with 2.6.21.0-22 Under Linux it will install with: $ sudo dpkg -i linux*.deb Afterwards reboot using the 2.6.21.0-22 kernel option, you will be able to use the modem. Follow the agrsm_howto.txt But for other kernels, there is currently no alternative to buying other modem hardware. Read DOCs/InfoGeneral.txt about alternative modem hardware.
