Hi,
thanks a lot for your replies!
I guess this isn't a USB modem after all. It's an internal one and I just
though it might be connected via USB internally as modprobe slusb seemed to
find something.
There really was something wrong with ALSA. I didn't notice before because I
had not tried sound before on this machine and the mixer looked all right.
Now with ALSA working correctly, scanModem seems to give some more precise
information. I attached ModemData.txt below again.
I got SLMODEMD.gcc4.2 and tried both alsa hw0,1 and 0,6:
# ./slmodemd -c GERMANY --alsa hw:0,6
error: mixer setup: Off-hook switch not found for card hw:0
error: alsa setup: cannot open playback device 'hw:0,6': No such file or
directory
error: cannot setup device `hw:0,6'
Best regards,
Victor

YourName, YourCountry kernel 2.6.24-19-generic
With this Subject Line cogent experts will be alerted, and useful case names

YourCountry will enable Country specific guidance. Linux experts in

They will know your Country's modem code, which may be essential for dialup

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/2.6.24-19-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 n. 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.
Compressed files
at: /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.24.tar.bz2 /usr/src/sl-modem.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 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
Checking pppd properties:
-rwsr-xr-- 1 root dip 269256 2007-10-04 21:57 /usr/sbin/pppd
In case of an "error 17" "serial loopback" problem, see:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/linmodems/archive-sixth/msg02637.html
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
Checking settings of: /etc/ppp/options
asyncmap 0
noauth

In case of a message like:
Warning: Could not modify /etc/ppp/pap-secrets: Permission denied
see http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-sixth/msg04656.html
