Marvin,
Thanks for your answer!
Well, bad luck. I think I will switch my distro back to i386
architecture. I have another modem which I was using with "martian" but
I think I'll have the same problem trying to compile martian on x86-64.
Thanks and congratulations for the job you've been doing on linmodems.

Re: Is it possible to compile or use the driver in AMD-64 bits?
Sadly no. There are precompiled 32 bit components which are not
compatible with a 64 bit compile. LSI/Agere has not responded to a
request to provide these in 64 bit format.

Hello all!
I got a new box with and amd processor. So I'm using Debian Lenny for
architecture AMD-64.
In that box I have a modem with Agere chipset from the vendor Advantek.
The info in lspci and scanmodem (I'm at work now and I don't have my
modemdata file with me, but I'll post when I get home if necessary).
Modem ID:
11c1:0620 11c1:0620 Communication controller: Agere Systems Unknown device
0620
As I found after some googling I downloaded the driver from here:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/sv92/agrsm-20080203.tar.gz
At my job I just tested compilling the driver in a Lenny i386 architecture.
Everything went ok.
My question is: Is it possible to compile or use the driver in AMD-64 bits?
I red that some drivers could work in 64 bits if they are compilled in 32
bits mode... Is that so? How could I do it?
Thanks in advance for the help,
Matías
