Greetings - Please call me Chris...
Environment: PIII 800MHz 192MB RAM Debian Lenny
Everything seems to be working just fine. I'm connected via ethernet, but
this machine will end up being used by my brother who only has dialup. So
I'm setting that up.
scanModem results are below, plus compile errors.
linux-headers-2.6.26-2-686.deb is installed as source.
I even symlinked it to /usr/src/linux thinking that might help. (No
difference.)
I had to do an export MODEMTYPE=537EP because it couldn't seem to
recognize the modem during the first make.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Chris

Since 2006, Intel appears to have ceased its modem code updates for Linux.
The outdated official Intel support packages can be accessed through:
http://developer.intel.com/design/modems/support/drivers.htm
Beneficially, Philippe Vouters has been provided updates as the Linux
kernel evolves.
But intensive personal support is not feasible, see:
http://archives.linmodems.org/24939
The code for the INTEL537 and INTEL536 chipset modems is at
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/intel/Philippe.Vouters/
For Ubuntu Linux users with Intel 536 and 537 chipsets, there are driver
installation packages available thru
http://groups.google.com/group/ubuntu-modems
Read DOCs/Intel.txt and Modem/DOCs/YourSystem.txt for follow through
guidance.

Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.1.3
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.1.3
Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
make utility - /usr/bin/make
Compiler version 4.1
linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.26-2-686/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.
Compressed files at: /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.26.tar.bz2
For Debian and some related distributions, a package kernel-kbuild-2.6-26
may be needed to support driver compiling.
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

To enable dialout without Root permission do:
$ su - root (not for Ubuntu)
