Dear all, I finally achieve success with new agrsm modem driver for 11c1:0620 chipset. I tried them out of curiosity and am connecting with it from home :) attaching ModemData.txt, will try to clean up slaxbuild script(script that generates the lzm(slax module)) and post it in slax website. Driver: 11c1:0620 2.6.28 agrsm06pci_2.1.80~20090825_i386.deb or agrsm06pci_2.1.80~20090825_i386.tar.gz ModemData.txt says wvdial is not installed, using Slax in Fresh Mode, and wvdial and wvstreams modules not activated, I tried them, but they could not find the modem, but /dev/modem points to /dev/ttyAG3 root@slax:~# ls /dev/modem -l lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Nov 18 01:45 /dev/modem -> /dev/ttyAGS3 Sreehari, Hugo if you want to give it a try let me know and I'll attach lzm module before I post to Slax forum.

The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.2.4 and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.2.4 Minimal compiling resources appear complete: make utility - /usr/bin/make Compiler version 4.2 linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.27.27/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 Checking pppd properties: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 366440 Jun 29 2006 /usr/sbin/pppd In case of an "error 17" "serial loopback" problem, see: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/linmodems/archive-sixth/msg02637.html 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 Checking settings of: /etc/ppp/options asyncmap 0 crtscts lock modem proxyarp lcp-echo-interval 30 lcp-echo-failure 4 In case of a message like: Warning: Could not modify /etc/ppp/pap-secrets: Permission denied see http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-sixth/msg04656.html Read Modem/DOCs/YourSystem.txt concerning other COMM channels: eth0 eth1 ppp0 wlan0 wmaster0 Which can interfere with Browser naviagation.
