Dawit Download the file http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/kernel-2.6/martian/martian-full-20080625.tar.gz Copy it over to your linux patition, then fire up a terminal Extract it wtih $ tar -zxvf martian-full-20080625.tar.gz $ cd martian-full-20080625/ $ make all $ sudo make install $ sudo modprobe martian_dev $ sudo martian_modem Leave this running, then open up a tab/terminal $ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf should find the modem port then, if it does /dev/ttySM0 should be the modem port Then using sudo $ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf and add your username/password remove the ";" and "<"">"' characters. Also add your ISP's phone number and a line Carrier Check = no to /etc/wvdial.conf There might be an easier way, but this is what is done to get the modem running under linux.
