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.
