Brian,

scanModem recommends that you get martian-20080625.tar.gz

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.

I'll take a shot but not certain that it would be the way to do it.

1) download martian-full-20080625.tar.gz
2) download libc6-dev and linux-libc-dev (to be safe), look for them in http://packages.ubuntu.com
3) copy martian-full-20080625 to your home directory or Desktop whichever you prefer
4) extract martian-full-20080625.tar.gz with
$ tar -zxvf martian-full-20080625.tar.gz
4) run 
$ make all
$ sudo make install
$ sudo modprobe martian_dev
$ sudo martian_modem

open up another terminal and do
$ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
should find the modem driver /dev/ttySM0 and you would need to edit the /etc/wvdial.conf with your favorite editor and remove ";" and add your username, password and phone number.  Add also a line "Carrier Check = no", it might also help if you put a line "Stupid Mode = 1".

Get back to us if you succeed or need further help/advice.

Regards,

Antonio
