Thanks Marvin.

Below is the scanmodem output.

I have downloaded the agrsm from :

http://linux.zsolttech.com/linmodem/agrsm/Testing/dkms-agrsm_2.1.80-9mdv2009.0_i386.deb

I have made minor fixes to get it compile with 2.6.31.

Please let me know if you see something interesting or you need more information.

Regards,
Shaji

Support type needed or chipset: agrsm


The AgereSystems/LSI agrsm code supports compiling of a agrmodem + agrsm driver pair. One resource site is http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/
Thereat get the agrsm_howto.txt and one of the agrsm-tools packages.
The initial agrsm_howto.txt compiling steps are only cogent to modems with PCI IDs:
  11c1:0620, 11c1:048c and 11c1:048f chips.
  They use the agrsm-20090418.tar.gz package.
The agrsm-tools sets a useful symbolic link and a agrsm-test utlity

For AgereSystems/LSI with Vendor 11c1 chips hosted on High Definition Audio cards, there may be support through the agrsm resources (providing an agrmodem + agrserial driver pair) as an alternative to usage of the snd-hda-intel driver + slmodemd helper. For the 11c11040 modem chip, ONLY the agrsm code is competent. Your Linux distro's dkms package should be first installed, as it directs the installation of modem specific dkms-agrsm resources, and also directs auto-installation of new drivers upon kernel upgrades.

Currently, the dkms-agrsm code is NOT competent for 2.26.28 and later kernels. A short term fix is to install linux-image + linux-headers packages for earlier kernels. For detailed instructions for Ubuntu Jaunty with 2.6.28 kernels, see http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-nineth/msg01316.html

The primary dkms-agrsm resource site is http://linux.zsolttech.com/linmodem/agrsm/ whereat a few different packaging types are available. Debian type installers (supporting Ubuntu too) are copied to http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/ . Thereat the current package is the dkms-agrsm_2.1.80-6_i386.deb is for Agere/LSI chipsets hosted on High Definition Audio cards.
Read the Modem/DOCs/Agrsm.txt for details.

Completed candidate modem analyses.

The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev

Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.4.1
            and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.4.1



Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
  make utility - /usr/bin/make
  Compiler version 4.4
  linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.31-13-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:
$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb

There are three (at least) different agrsm code packages, for the
various Agere chipsets.
Please run scanModem and send us the ModemData.txt output, to more
precisely identify your chipset.
There are alternate ALSA drivers for some Agere/LSI chipsets.
Which code package  did you use to compile your driver??
An alternative may evade your problem:

All,

and what features would work?



Regards,

First thing, try wvdial

There are two steps.

After loading the module, do    sudo  wvdialconf  /etc/wvdial.conf

If it finds the modem, your success is great.

Then edit the file /etc/wvdial.conf


There are three lines starting with a ;  (semi colon). In these 3
lines:

Remove the ;

Remove the <

Remove the >

Modify the phone line  to    Phone =  1234567    but replace 1234567
by
a phone number close to you so that you can hear it it rings.

Make sure that there is a line

Carrier Check = no

in the file.

Save and exit the editor.

Now,  just try    sudo wvdial      and listen if the dialled phone
number rings (no sound from the modem; be enar that phone number or
ask
somebody to listen for you, a friend probably.


If the dialled number rings, this is a very great step ahead.


In which country/city do you live? Needed to try to find a free
service
nearby.
