Hi Everyone,
I need help getting dial-up working on Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Desktop Edition
on a Toshiba Satellite A135 laptop. It's a WinModem which means I need
some kind of driver, I have no idea how to do this. I have NEVER gotten
Linux to connect to the Internet, even when I had an old Mandrake Linux
I couldn't get the Internet to work (with a desktop PC and a real
hardware modem). I'm totally lost about how to do this. Under Windows
Vista it just works... now I got Ubuntu which I love but it's not to
useful without the Internet.
I am aware of these sites:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto
http://www.linmodems.org/
http://forums.scotsnewsletter.com/index.php?s=be1c58f9769ac77de08871ce6d39cede&showtopic=16517&st=0&p=201212&#entry201212
I ran scanmodem and the output is shown below. I also ran ATI and ATI1,
ATI2, ATI3, etc., the useful output is shown below as well.
What does this line mean?
00:1b.0 8086:27d8 1179:ff01 Audio device: Intel Corporation
82801G
I found this line that matches it in DOCs/SoftModem.txt made by scanmodem:
8086:27d8 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High
Definition Audio Controller HDA > .
What does it all mean?
I tried the 537 Intel Drivers. Is that what I should be trying?
This line also looks important:
Support type needed or chipset: 11c11040
Is '11c11040' supported by Ubuntu Linux yet? If not, how do I make it work?
As a last resort, I have one free USB port on my laptop. Can you
recommend an external 56K USB modem that is C-H-E-A-P? Will it work in
Ubuntu out of the box?
What I am really hoping for is someone out there with a 11c11040 modem
that knows how to get it to work with Linux. Is it Intel? Windows Vista
says it is using an Agere driver, located here: Location 1 (Internal
High Definition Audio Bus)
If you reply, please send a copy to wrschlanger@xxxxxxxx because I am
not subscribed to this list. Thank you very much, any help greatly
appreciated!!!

Writing DOCs/Intel.txt
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
Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
make utility - /usr/bin/make
Compiler version 4.2
linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/build
However some compilations and executable functions may need additional
files,
in the FileNames.h (so called kernel "h"eaders) collection installed
in /usr/include/ .
For martian_modem, additional required packages are libc6-dev (and for
Debian/Ubuntu,
linux-libc-dev). The also required headers of package libc6 are
commonly installed by default.
Compiling hsfmodem drivers does require linux-libc-dev and libc6-dev
packages, for kernels 2.6.24 and later versions.
In not included on your install CD, search for them at
http://packages.ubuntu.com
or comparable Repository for other Linux distros.
When compiling ALSA drivers, the utility "patch" will also be needed.
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 packages.
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

In case of an "error 17" "serial loopback" problem, see:

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

In case of a message like:
