Terry,
Your modem is supported by martian-full-20080625.tar.gz as scanModem
shows below:
Predictive diagnostics for card in bus 00:07.0:
Modem chipset detected on
NAME="Communication controller: Agere Systems 56k WinModem "
CLASS=0780
PCIDEV=11c1:0441
SUBSYS=1179:0001
IRQ=3
IDENT=Agere.DSP
For candidate modem in: 00:07.0
0780 Communication controller: Agere Systems 56k WinModem
Primary device ID: 11c1:0441
Support type needed or chipset: Agere.DSP
The modem has a Lucent/Agere/LSI Mars or Apollo DSP (digital signal
processing) chipset.
Support packages for 2.6.n kernels are at:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/kernel-2.6/martian/
Always use the most update for kernels after 2.6.20, currently
martian-full-20080625.tar.gz
For kernels 2.6.20 and less, usr martian-full-20080407.tar.gz.
See DOCs/AgereDSP.txt for Details.
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
After you install the above libc6-dev and linux-libc-dev packages,
then you may also download wvdial packages:
The dialer utility package WVDIAL does not appear to be installed on
your System.
For Ubuntu Jaunty users, there are at the bottom of
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/:
wvdial_jaunty_amd64.zip for x86_64, 64 bit bus systems.
wvdial_jaunty_i386.zip for 32 bit systems.
These are about 1 MB in size. After downloaded and copied into your
Linux partition:
$ unzip wv*.zip
Within the new folder:
$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb
will complete the wvdial installation
Please read Modem/DOCs/wvdial.txt for usage information.
Report back presently.
Regards,
Antonio
