Ilan,
Your first post has not made its way to the list, at least I did not see it.
Your ModemData.txt (bravo for putting it in text) shows that your modem
is supported. Such soft modems require a driver without which Linux will
not discover them.
Please see http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/
on how to find and install the driver which you need.
To connect to the Internet with such a modem you of course need an ISP.
We strongly recommend using wvdial
(http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/wvdial.html) at least until everything
works, rather than more attractive but less informative diallers such as
Kppp and the like.
Best regards
Jacques

It bounced for some strange reason - so I made modem.txt actual text

I wrote this a few days ago and no one has answered.
Did it arrive?
Does anyone know if I have a modem, or just think I do?
Thanks,

Subject: need help for modem
To: discuss-subscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
I've got a modem on my laptop, but I don't know if it is detected or
not. First I thought it may be ALSA, but that reports no modem.
I'm doing this for a friend where I installed Ubuntu 8.10, but he needs
to dial up to the Internet (for the moment, at least).
If I can learn on my laptop, maybe I can help him.
So I need 2 things:
1) what modem do I have, and does it need a driver?
2) how do I do the dialup to the Internet?
Attached is the modem.txt from scanModem.
Thanks,
Ilan

Vendor 11c1 is Lucent Technologies with modem technology now under LSI Inc.
Their Linux code developer/maintainer is Soumyendu Sarkar. Support
for a chipset and its
continued maintenance is only initiated at the request of a major
chipset buyer,
or comparable sponsor. Several different modem chipset types are produced:
with varying support under Linux.

Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.3.2
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.3.2
Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
make utility - /usr/bin/make
Compiler version 4.3
linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.27-9-generic/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
