I was not trying to indicate that I was going to throw in the towel on this.
If I did, I apologize. I would definitely like (must) get this modem going
as it is the only internet connection available.
I did the modprobe commands you suggested both ways. When I executed the
link between AGS3 and modem, I get the message: "Creating symbolic link
'dev/modem' to 'dev/ttyAGS3': File exists" (I don't know why I did not
notice that before). A list command shows /dev/modem linked to ttyS0.
Could that be the problem? Unfortunately, I am not expert enough to know
how to change the link on /dev/modem. Please provide the necessary
commands.
Either way, I tried the noacpi route. The results are the same.
Here is the output of dmesg:

Martin,
working with these types of modems can be a pain, but before you give
up, throw the towel please do the following.
when you do a
# modprobe agrserial
# modprobe agrmodem
or the other way around?
# modprobe agrmodem
# modprobe agrserial
then you may run the agrsm-test:(oops that is for 11c11040 :(
driver(s)). Anyhow you may make symbolic links
# ln -s /dev/ttyAGS3 /dev/ttySAGR
# ln -s /dev/ttyAGS3 /dev/modem
if a failure by wvdialconf to find the modem port occurs again, edit
the grub.conf file and add the option "pci=noacpi"
Also if none of the above advice worked, please attach what you did,
copy and paste to this message also please add the output of dmesg
and/or lsmod so that we can see if the modules were loaded or not.
Regards,
Antonio

I followed the instructions in the "agrsm_howto.txt" file. It appears
that
it did not work.
The first indication was that the "modprobe agrserial" command did not
return the creation of ttyAGS3. It simply came back to the prompt. The
wvdialconf command came back simply saying that no modem was found. I
did
try the two remedied described, but no luck.
I even went so far as to re-install Linux from scratch in case some of my
earlier attempts messed something up. The results are the same as I
describe above.
Let me know if there is something else I should try. Please be fairly
detailed as I am a relative newbie to Linux (about a year old).
Thanks.

Martin,
Communication controller: Agere Systems Device 0630 "

is a modem we haven't encountered before under Linux.
There is service for a 11c1:0630 chipset modem through a agrsm
package, for compiling an agrmodem+agrserial driver pair.
I'll add 11c1:0630 to the agrsm recognition codes and sent it to you,
tonight or tomorrow.

I recently purchased an EMachines model EL1200. It has a modem in it
that I
am trying to get running because it is the only means of connecting
to
the
internet. The modem itself has an LSI label on the front with and
Anatel
label on the back. There does not appear to any other obvious
labelling.
I have tried several things including using the Windows drivers from
the
EMachines website with ndiswrapper (I did not have the presence of
mind to
try to get the Windows information before I wiped the drive.) I have
searched the archives for the PCIID that appears for this modem. I
did
find
a similar ID (11c10480, I believe) but that did not work. All to no
avail.
Below is the output from scanModem's ModemData.txt file. Any
assistance you
can offer to get this modem working would be appreciated.
Thanks.

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. Record any hardware
ID
or
vendor
and device information. From the Driver Details TAB, copy out the
VENdor and
DEVice 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.

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 10de:03f0.
If another modem card is present, then most likely 10de:03f0 does not
host a
modem.
If another modem card has not been detected, then possibilities are:
1) A Conexant modem chip is present on 10de:03f0, as Conexant chips
are frequently not detectable by ALSA diagnostics
2) The modem may be of the older non-PCI Controller Chipset
(hardware)
type.

Support can likely be achieved through two mutually exclusive
alternatives:
1) The hsfmodem software for Conexant chipset modems: Read

The following ALSA alternative CANNOT work with Conexant modems.
2) An ALSA modem driver plus slmodemd. Read DOCs/Smartlink.txt for

For owners of a Dell PCs with Conexant HSF modems, a driver source
package
with full speed enabled is available, but requires driver compiling.
Read
DOCs/Conexant.txt
Start at http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/downloads-license.php to
find
the
hsfmodem package matching your System. For several Linux distros,
there
are
precompiled drivers matched to specific kernels. These have within
the
FileName,
your KernelVersion: 2.6.26.8.tex3
They can be found through
http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads.php
A more precise location may be given a few paragraphs below.
If an EXACT Match with your your KernelVersion is not found, one of
the
"Generic packages with source" near the bottom of the page must be
used.
Downloaded packages must be moved into the Linux partition (home
folder
is
OK)
and unzipped with:
unzip hsf*.zip
The installation command for a .deb suffic packages is, with root/adm
permission:
dpkg -i hsf*.deb
while for .rpm suffix it is, with:
rpm -i hsf*.rpm
Support for Conexant chips hosted on High Definition Audio cards may
require
installation of additional packages, one of the alsa-driver-linuxant
packages
on http://www.linuxant.com/alsa-driver/ At the same time download
the
alsa-driver-1.0.17-1.patch , in case it prove to be later needed.
During the
hsfmodem install, there will be a message if there is necessary
installation
of
alsa-driver-linuxant
The installation command for a .deb suffic packages is, with root/adm
permission:
alsa* -i hsf*.deb
while for .rpm suffix it is, with:
rpm -i hsf*.rpm
There may a message that "Dependencies" are not satisfied. In this
case the
Ubuntu/Debian packages to be installed are linux-libc-dev &
libc6-dev.
Package
names may be different for other Linuxes. If not on your install CD,
these
packages can be searched for at http://packages.ubuntu.com. After
download,
they can be coinstalled with:
dpkg -i li*.deb
Again try the alsa-driver-linuxant
There may be a message that the patch must be applied. In this case
get the
ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/alsa-driver-1.0.17.tar.bz2
Under Linux, this package is unpacked with:
$ tar jxf alsa*.tar.bz2
Next the patch is applied with:
$ patch -p0 < alsa-driver-1.0.17-1.patch
See
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-eighth/msg00838.html
for details on compiling and installing replacement snd-hda-intel +
its
dependent drivers.
After the installation is completed, rerun the hsfmodem installation.
Reboot and try to detect the modem with Root permission:
wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
Start at http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full for
eventually download of a hsfmodem-7.68.00.12full_k.???.zip package
with ??? the package type (deb, rpm, tar etc)
These packages have compiled drivers but will also compile a driver,
if there is a mismatch between the resident kernel and provided
driver.
The generic hsfmodem-7.68.00.12full.tar.gz package only provides
compiling
support

The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.1.1
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.1.1
Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
make utility - /usr/bin/make
Compiler version 4.1
linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.26.8.tex3/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
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
