Soumen and Marvin,

something appears wrong with this modem requiring 11c11040 drivers:

I run scaModem fake and I do not get the 11c11040 drivers:

 If your modem is connected by an external serial cable,
 or mounted internally on an ISA card, scanModem would not access it.
 Try with Root permission
 $  wvdialconf  /etc/wvdial.conf
 to detect these modem types and some USB modems.
 If the detection is successful, read the DOCs/wvdial.txt .
 Edit the /etc/wvdial.conf with Root permission:
 	  gedit  /etc/wvdial.conf
  will be able to dial out with Root permission:
	 wvdial

 Many modems for which scanModem fails have Conexant chips.
 From http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/modemident.php
 get the ListModem tool, which will report on Conexant chipset modems

 If the above tests fail, please provide any independent information available o
n your modem.
 If an alternative boot into Microsoft windows can be done, do mouse
clicks on:
   Start > Settings > Control Panel > Classical View (for Window XP) > System
> Hardware > Device Manager > Modems > Click on the + > Modem. Double click to
expand the graphic. Manufacturer information may be displayed. For example, CXT
stands for Conexant. Click the Diagnostics Tab. Record any hardware ID or vendor
and device information. From the Driver Details TAB, copy out the VENdor and DEV
ice information.
Next do the Query Modem and record the ATI specifications displayed such as:
    ATI3 - Agere SoftModem Version 2.1.22
    ATI5 - 2.1.22, AMR Intel MB, AC97 ID:SIL REV:0x27
Try to identify the modem setup file, with name perhaps MODEM.INF.
If may contain chipset Vendor informaton.

 High Definition Audio (HDA) cards MAY host a modem chip in their Subsystem,
 and many are supported by the ALSA audio+modem driver snd-hda-intel
 A modem was not detected on HDA card 1002:4383.
 If another modem card is present, then most likely 1002:4383 does not host a mo
dem.
 If another modem card has not been detected, then possibilities are:
	1) A Conexant modem chip is present on 1002:4383, as Conexant chips
 are frequently not detectable by ALSA diagnostics
	2) The modem may be of the older non-PCI Controller Chipset (hardware) t
ype.
Try detection with Root permission:

I see something wrong and even if it is the 11c11040 driver, I would
try to compile from source and follow the 11c11040 howto because the
rpm(s) fail to install.  This driver is a pain to work with and I feel
for you.  Why not install Ubuntu and get the precompiled one and get
done with it, otherwise build from source and hopefully the 11c11040
experts guide you through the process :)

Regards,

Antonio
