Harald, scanModem reports that you need hsfmodem drivers(1) and that wvdial utitily is not installed:(2). Upon installing drivers and the modem would be still unreponsive, please follow the instructions given in (3) 1) Predictive diagnostics for card in bus 00:1f.6: Modem chipset detected on NAME="Modem: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM " CLASS=0703 PCIDEV=8086:24c6 SUBSYS=1043:1826 IRQ=4 SOFT=8086:24c6.MC97 CodecArchived=CXT CodecClass=CXT IDENT=hsfmodem Driver=hsfmodem-drivers For candidate modem in: 00:1f.6 0703 Modem: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM Primary device ID: 8086:24c6 Subsystem PCI_id 1043:1826 Softmodem codec or chipset from diagnostics: from Archives: CXT, a Conexant type using hsfmodem software. CXTnn is a generic for all CXTnumbers, with Linuxant hsfmodem software support. Support type needed or chipset: hsfmodem Writing DOCs/Intel.txt For owners of a Dell PCs with Conexant HSF modems, a driver source package with full speed enabled is available, but requires driver compiling. Read DOCs/Conexant.txt From http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads-ubuntu-x86.php download hsfmodem-7.80.02.02full_k2.6.31_14_generic_ubuntu_i386.deb.zip Under Linux unpack with: $ unzip hsfmodem*.zip Then install with: $ sudo dpkg -i hsfmodem*.deb Subsequently, the modem should be found with $ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf Edit in your personal information with: $ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf and try dialing out with: $ sudo wvdial. See DOCs/Testing.txt for details. 2) 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.
