The ALSA packages provide audio support and also

ALSA diagnostics are written during bootup to
/proc/asound/ folders.
The ALSA verion is 1.0.15
The modem cards detected by "aplay -l" are: None

Modem support under STAC92xx audio card hosts may
require upgrade

If your modem is connected by an external serial
cable,
or mounted internally on an ISA card, scanModem would
not access it.
Try with Root permission
$ wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
to detect these modem types and some USB modems.
If the detection is successful, read the
DOCs/wvdial.txt .
Edit the /etc/wvdial.conf with Root permission:
gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
will be able to dial out with Root permission:
wvdial
Many modems for which scanModem fails have Conexant
chips.
From http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/modemident.php
get the ListModem tool, which will report on Conexant
chipset modems
If the above tests fail, please provide any
independent information available on your modem.
If an alternative boot into Microsoft windows can be
done, do mouse
clicks on:
Start > Settings > Control Panel > Classical View
(for Window XP) > System
> Hardware > Device Manager > Modems > Click on the +
> Modem. Double click to
expand the graphic. Manufacturer information may be
displayed. For example, CXT
stands for Conexant. Click the Diagnostics Tab. Record
any hardware ID or vendor
and device information. From the Driver Details TAB,
copy out the VENdor and DEVice information.
Next do the Query Modem and record the ATI
specifications displayed such as:
ATI3 - Agere SoftModem Version 2.1.22
ATI5 - 2.1.22, AMR Intel MB, AC97 ID:SIL REV:0x27
Try to identify the modem setup file, with name
perhaps MODEM.INF.

High Definition Audio (HDA) cards MAY host a modem
chip in their Subsystem,
and many are supported by the ALSA audio+modem driver
snd-hda-intel
A modem was not detected on HDA card 8086:27d8.
If another modem card is present, then most likely
8086:27d8 does not host a modem.
If another modem card has not been detected, then
possibilities are:
1) A Conexant modem chip is present on 8086:27d8, as
Conexant chips
are frequently not detectable by ALSA diagnostics
2) The modem may be of the older non-PCI Controller
Chipset (hardware) type.

For owners of a Dell PCs with Conexant HSF modems, a
driver source package with full speed enabled is
available, but requires driver compiling. Read
DOCs/Conexant.txt
Start at
http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/downloads-license.php
to find the
hsfmodem package matching your System. For several
Linux distros, there are
precompiled drivers matched to specific kernels. These
have within the FileName,
your KernelVersion: 2.6.23.1_42.fc8
They can be found through
http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads.php
A more precise location may be given a few paragraphs
below.
If an EXACT Match with your your KernelVersion is not
found, one of the
"Generic packages with source" near the bottom of the
page must be used.
Downloaded packages must be moved into the Linux
partition (home folder is OK)
and unzipped with:
unzip hsf*.zip
The installation command for a .deb suffic packages
is, with root/adm permission:
dpkg -i hsf*.deb
while for .rpm suffix it is, with:
rpm -i hsf*.rpm
Start at http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full
for
eventually download of a
hsfmodem-7.68.00.12full_k.???.zip package
with ??? the package type (deb, rpm, tar etc)
These packages have compiled drivers but will also
compile a driver,
if there is a mismatch between the resident kernel
and provided driver.
The generic hsfmodem-7.68.00.12full.tar.gz package
only provides compiling support

=====================
The base of the UDEV device file system is:
/dev/.udev
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed:
4.1.2
and the compiler used in kernel assembly:
4.1.2
Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
make utility - /usr/bin/make
Compiler version 4.1
linuc_headers base folder
/lib/modules/2.6.23.1-42.fc8/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
needed. 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
Checking pppd properties:
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 312332 2006-12-01 07:54
/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)
chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
or under Ubuntu related Linuxes
chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
Checking settings of: /etc/ppp/options
lock
In case of a message like:
Warning: Could not modify /etc/ppp/pap-secrets:
Permission denied
