Kernel 2.6.24.4-desktop586-1mnb on an i686 /
Linux version 2.6.24.4-desktop586-1mnb (lcapitulino@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)

scanModem update of: 2008_03_09
There are no blacklisted modem drivers in /etc/modprobe* files
The Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) packages providing audio
support,
also includes drivers for some modems. The ALSA diagnostics are written
during
bootup to /proc/asound/ folders.
The ALSA verion is 1.0.16
The modem cards detected by "aplay -l" are:

For Ubuntu Linux users with Intel 536 and 537 chipsets the are driver
installation packages available.
But since 2006, Intel appears to have ceased updates for Linux.
For the INTEL537 and INTEL536 chipset modems, the most current support
is provided at:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/linmodems/intel/Philippe.Vouters/
But regular support is not available, see:
http://archives.linmodems.org/24939
:
The outdated official Intel support packages can be accessed through:
http://developer.intel.com/design/modems/support/drivers.htm
Read Intel.txt and Modem/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance.
Writing Intel.txt
Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
The kernel was compiled with gcc version 4.2.3 and a compiler is not
installed
linux-headers-2.6.24.4-desktop586-1mnb resources needed for compiling
are not manifestly ready!
If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
gcc-4.2 make kernel-source-2.6.24.4-desktop586-1mnb
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 package
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-t 1 root root 316424 2008-06-03 14:32 /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
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
Read Modem/YourSystem.txt concerning other COMM channels: eth1
Which can interfere with Browser naviagation.
Don't worry about the following, it is for the experts
should trouble shooting be necessary.
