Many things look fine, you have setup the modem correctly. AT least one problem is /**** scanModem output ****/ Modem interrupt assignment and sharing: 11: 135715 XT-PIC yenta, ohci1394, Intel ICH4, ehci_hcd, uhci_hcd, uhci_hcd, uhci_hcd, eth2, radeon@PCI:1:0:0, eth0 --- Bootup diagnostics for card in PCI slot 0000:00:1f.6 ---- ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:00:1f.6[B] -> GSI 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11 ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:00:1f.6[B] -> GSI 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11 Packages needed for support of Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) support should be installed: alsa-base and alsa-utilities!! They are necessary for support of ALSA modem drivers, many Conexant chipset modems and success of modem diagnostics for modems requiring slmodemd actions. /**** scanModem output ****/ You do not have packages alsa-base and alsa-utilities. :( Apparently this is what is holding the modem back from functioning. If you install those packages and the problem persists, then something else is getting in the way.
