MN Ethernet cards are so cheap, that if you could have local ethernet access, you will do far better buying an ethercard for ~$10 But to setup the modem, the dirst must be installed packages for linux-libc-dev and libc6-dev. They may be on your install CD, or can be downloaded starting at http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/libc6-dev Under Linux, install with: $ sudo dpkg -i li*.deb Then from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/kernel-2.6/martian/ get the martian-full-20080625.tar.gz Under Linux, unpack $ tar zxf mar*.tar.gz and follow the directions in the new folder. MarvS 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. 0x0441 -- Mars 2 - data/fax only -------------- end Agere Systems section ------------------- 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 The patch utility is needed and is needed for compiling ALSA drivers, and possibly others. Minimal compiling resources appear complete: make utility - /usr/bin/make Compiler version 4.3 linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.27-7-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 On Thu, Jan 29, 2009 at 12:05 PM, M N <modem_newbie@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > Hi, > > I'm fairly new to Linux and I'm trying to convert an old Windows 98 box > over to Ubuntu.
