Graham,
English isn't my native language so I may have misunderstood "something
to phone to test..."
My best bet is that you are looking for an ISP (Internet Service
Provider) to try to connect to the Internet with your driver+modem.
If I am correct then please take a look at
http://www2.vcn.bc.ca/
West Canada though is huge and I do not know if this free service
extends beyond spendlid British Columbia.
For my education (off the discussion list), please let me know if "lower
mainland of BC" means excluding the Rockies mountains.

Thanks Marvin!
There was an unsatisfied dependency on alsa-driver-linuxant, but once
I installed that, the tests succeeded and everything went well.
All I need to do now is try to find something to phone so I can test
the actual functioning of the driver/modem combination. You wouldn't
happen to have any advice on that, would you? I'm out on the west
coast of Canada.
Thanks again. I'm really quite impressed.

From http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads-ubuntu-x86.php
download hsfmodem-7.80.02.02full_k2.6.24_23_generic_ubuntu_i386.deb.zip
Under Linux unpack with:
$ unzip hsfmodem*.zip
Then install with:
$ sudo dpkg -i hsfmodem*.deb
Subsequently, the modem should be found with
$ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
Edit in your personal information with:
$ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
and try dialing out with:
$ sudo wvdial.
See DOCs/Testing.txt for details.

Hello,
I ran the scanModem tool and it spat out the attached file. If someone
could give me some guidance on where I go from here, I'd really
appreciate it.
Thanks in advance,
Graham
