Predictive  diagnostics for card in bus 03:09.0:
	Modem chipset  detected on
NAME="Communication controller: ESS Technology ES2898 Modem "
CLASS=0780
PCIDEV=125d:2898
SUBSYS=none
IRQ=15
IDENT=ESS.com

 For candidate modem in:  03:09.0
   0780 Communication controller: ESS Technology ES2898 Modem 
      Primary device ID:  125d:2898
 Support type needed or chipset:	ESS.com
 

----------------end Softmodem section --------------
 ESS chipset 125d:2898 modems are supported. Read DOCs/ESScom.txt 

 Completed candidate modem analyses.

 The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev

 Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.3.1
             and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.3


 
 Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
   make utility - /usr/bin/make
   Compiler version 4.3
   linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.25.18-0.2-pae/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:
	-rwxr-xr-x 1 root dialout 304644 2008-06-06 17:21 /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:

Read Modem/DOCs/YourSystem.txt concerning other COMM channels: eth0
Which can interfere with Browser naviagation.

 Don't worry about the following, it is for experts should trouble
shooting be necessary.
