Dear Allmail,
Everything which you need is here, copied from your ModemData.txt:
BEGIN
The modem has a Lucent/Agere/LSI Mars or Apollo DSP (digital signal
processing) chipset.
Support packages for 2.6.n kernels are at:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/kernel-2.6/martian/
Always use the most update for kernels after 2.6.20, currently
martian-full-20080625.tar.gz
For kernels 2.6.20 and less, usr martian-full-20080407.tar.gz.
See DOCs/AgereDSP.txt for Details.
END
In the directory DOCs generated by scanModem there is a file named
AgereDSO.txt , read it, you may need to know what there is in it to
continue.
Next from the Web address
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/kernel-2.6/martian/ ,
download and bring to the Linux directory where you find yourself when
logging in the file martian-full-20080625.tar.gz (which is the most
recent version of this package as the date 20080625 shows).
Once this file is in your Linux login directory, type
tar zxf martian-full-20080625.tar.gz
This expands the compressed archive which has been downloaded
Enter the expanded directory using command
cd martian-full-20080625
Look at the file README and remember that it talks about Carrier Check
Look at the file INSTALL
The best tool to look at file is
less INSTALL
because it goes page by page and you can go back. Spacebar goes to next
page, the cursor keys allow going up and down.
Do what the INSTALL says but please note that what INSTALL names root
directory is the one which you just reached and read INSTALL from. Also
with Ubuntu you MUST prefix all commands shown in INSTALL by sudo as
in: sudo make all
INSTALL then says to start your dialler.
We heavily recommend to use wvdial at least for debugging because it
gives diagnostics while more fancy "user friendly" diallers do not
(Kppp, Kinternet, and the like).
To achieve that you must once for all do
sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
It will find your modem or you should write to us with details of
failing to find the modem.
Now edit /etc/wvdial.conf to introduce the phone number, user name, and
password given by your ISP.
In the three lines, remove the leading ; and the container delimiters <
and >
Where you see phone number on the RIGHT side of the = sign, replace it
by the real phone number , etc...
If not already there in the file being edited, add a line
Carrier Chec = no
Save and exit the editor
Now you can sudo wvdial and be connected
Do not try to do anything in the window where wvdial is running.
When you want to stop the modem, enter CTRL-C in wvdial.
