Sir am using Ubuntu Ultimate Edition 2.1 along with Windows XP.
My Modem is "Motorola SM56 Data Fax Modem".i can use my dial up
connection in windows without any problem.i used scan modem tool &
attaching the result with this.please help me to setup a dialup
connection in Ubuntu using the above said modem.

===== Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) diagnostics =====
The ALSA packages provide audio support and also drivers for some modems.
ALSA diagnostics are written during bootup to /proc/asound/ folders.
The ALSA verion is 1.0.17
The modem cards detected by "aplay -l" are: None
The /proc/asound/pcm file reports:
-----------------------

The drivers are in the kernel modules tree at:

134d:2189 is a PCTel HSP56 MicroModem 688T modem with the Oasis chipset.
Under 2.6.n kernels, it is only supported through the Smartlink slamr.ko driver.
The modem is supported by the Smartlink slamr
plus the slmodemd helper utility. Read the
DOCs/Smartlink.txt and Modem/DOCs/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance.
For 2.6.27-12-generic compiling drivers is necessary. As of October 2007 the current packages at
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/ are the
ungrab-winmodem-20070505.tar.gz and slmodem-2.9.11-20080126.tar.gz

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 1002:437b.
If another modem card is present, then most likely 1002:437b does not host a modem.
If another modem card has not been detected, then possibilities are:
1) A Conexant modem chip is present on 1002:437b, as Conexant chips
are frequently not detectable by ALSA diagnostics
2) The modem may be of the older non-PCI Controller chipset (hardware) type.
Try detection with Root permission:

Support can likely be achieved through two mutually exclusive alternatives:
1) The hsfmodem software for Conexant chipset modems: Read DOCs/Conexant.txt
The following ALSA alternative CANNOT work with Conexant modems.
2) An ALSA modem driver plus slmodemd. Read DOCs/Smartlink.txt for details, and
to test get the package SLMODEMD.gcc4.3.tar.gz from:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/
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
Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
make utility - /usr/bin/make
Compiler version 4.3
linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.27-12-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
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:
