Hi George,
If you upgrade your kernel, you will need to either manually compile the
drivers (as described in HOWTO at
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/
If you cannot resolve names for DNS, be sure you do NOT have any other
network interfaces up (either wired or wireless.) this also causes
issues on my system.
Modem driver likely does not implement a built-in speaker when dialling.
To add sound would mean coding a new volume slider and interaction with
the ALSA driver, which is not likely to happen in the near future.
Changes in volume tracks have been reported by some, though I have not
seen this happen myself. There are no changes to the relevant sections
of the module, except that it now allows the driver to communicate to
the modem by exporting read/write functions.

Marvin,
This now works.
I have reloaded kernel 2.6.24-19-generic as advised, and used the
package you sent me.
I ran the "setup" script (I think there is an error in the script
because it complained about
"/lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/ubuntu/sound/alsa-driver/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko" although the "snd-hda-intel.ko" file was already copied to "/lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/kernel/sound/pci/hda" succesfully).
So I went ahead and loaded the modules:
sudo modprobe agrmodem
sudo modprobe agrserial
The above commands ran without any errors and /dev/ttyAGS3 was created
I then created the symbolinc links needed:
sudo ln -s /dev/ttyAGS3 /dev/ttySAGR
sudo ln -s /dev/ttyAGS3 /dev/modem
Finally, I ran: "sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf" which detected the
modem.
The file "agrsm_howto.txt" included in the package you sent me was very
useful.
I tested everything with GnomePPP and I could connect to my ISP without
any problem.
I then edited /etc/modules in order to load agrmodem and agrserial
modules at boot time.
I also created a file /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules that creates the
symbolic links automatically (see "agrsm_howto.txt"),
Questions and minor issues:
1) If I upgrade the kernel all this will be lost. Correct?
2) Will there be a 2.6.24-20 version of the driver?
3) Minor issue with DNS (cannot resolve names). I am currently
investigating. Any hints would be welcome.
4) No SOUND from the modem when it dials. Any ideas how to fix this?
5) The Volume control has changed (different tracks). This is due to the
fact that we are using a patched "snd-hda-intel.ko". Correct?
MANY THANKS TO EVERYBODY.
Sincerely.

George,
If you install the linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic package,
you can use the attached.
You can get the linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic from http://package.ubuntu.com
though that server seems to be done at this time.

Jacques,
Put in the 1c111040/ folder. We have a success confirmation from Hugo
Sherzod,
The attached package with already compiled drivers will only work with
a 2.6.24-19-generic kernel. You can first download that kernel
package through:
http://packages.ubuntu.com
search for linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic
and follow through with a download.
The server seems to be down now, but should soon be working.
Under Linux, install the linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic.deb with:
$ sudo dpkg -i linux*.deb
Then reboot using the new 2.6.24-19-generic
Unpack the agrsm package with:
$ tar zxf agrsm*.tar.gz
Move into the new folder:
$ cd agrsm-ubuntu8.04.1-2.6.24-19-generic
Browse a bit, Run the driver installation with:
$ sudo ./setup
The package contents are below.

Dear Antonio,
Thank you for your reply. But there is another problem on installing.
It says error on install: some needed files are missing. What could be
the problem?

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 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.
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:
