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 on 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.

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 linux-headers-2.6.25.5-1.1-pae resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready! The patch utility is needed and is needed for compiling ALSA drivers, and possibly others. If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing: kernel-source-2.6.25.5-1.1-pae 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 2008-06-07 01:51 /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 noipdefault noauth crtscts lock modem asyncmap 0 nodetach lcp-echo-interval 30 lcp-echo-failure 4 lcp-max-configure 60 lcp-restart 2 idle 600 noipx file /etc/ppp/filters In case of a message like: Warning: Could not modify /etc/ppp/pap-secrets: Permission denied see http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-sixth/msg04656.html Don't worry about the following, it is for experts should trouble shooting be necessary. ========================================================== Checking for modem support lines: -------------------------------------- /device/modem symbolic link: slmodemd created symbolic link /dev/ttySL0: Within /etc/udev/ files: /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules:KERNEL=="mwave", NAME="modems/mwave", GROUP="uucp" /etc/udev/rules.d/77-network.rules:SUBSYSTEM=="net", ENV{INTERFACE}=="ppp*|ippp*|isdn*|plip*|lo*|irda*|dummy*|ipsec*|tun*|tap*|bond*|vlan*|modem*|dsl*", GOTO="skip_ifup" Within /etc/modprobe.conf files: /etc/modprobe.conf:# Linux ACP modem (Mwave) Within any ancient /etc/devfs files: Within ancient kernel 2.4.n /etc/module.conf files: --------- end modem support lines --------
