scanModem update of: 2009_09_15
Presently install your Linux Distributions dkms package. It provides for automated driver updates,
following upgrade of your kernel. For details see http://linux.dell.com/projects.shtml#dkms
There are no blacklisted modem drivers in /etc/modprobe* files
Potentially useful modem drivers now loaded are:

For candidate card in slot 00:0b.1, firmware information and bootup diagnostics are:

For candidate modem in: 00:0b.1
0780 Class 0780: 10b7:1007
Primary device ID: 10b7:1007
Support type needed or chipset: 3COM.winmodem
Under Linux 2.6.n kernels, the chipset is NOT SUPPORTED . Read DOCs/InfoGeneral.txt about alternatives.
Vendor 10b7 3COM Inc. purchased the vendor 12b9 US Robotics modem technology.
Their winmodems have no Linux support. Their controller chipset modems
are supported by the Linux serial drivers.
The PCI id 10b7:1007 modem is Not_Supported.

Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.2.2
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.2.2
linux-headers-2.6.25.16 resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!
If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
kernel-source-2.6.25.16
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

In case of an "error 17" "serial loopback" problem, see:

To enable dialout without Root permission do:
$ su - root (not for Ubuntu)
chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
or under Ubuntu related Linuxes
chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd

Read Modem/DOCs/YourSystem.txt concerning other COMM channels: eth0
Which can interfere with Browser naviagation.
Don't worry about the following, it is for experts should trouble shooting be necessary.
