Ronald,
scanModem reports that you have an agrsm modem with chipset 11c1:0630 modem.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Predictive diagnostics for card in bus 04:00.0:
Modem chipset detected on
NAME="Communication controller: Agere Systems Device 0630 "
CLASS=0780
PCIDEV=11c1:0630
SUBSYS=11c1:0630
IRQ=7
IDENT=agrsm
For candidate modem in: 04:00.0
0780 Communication controller: Agere Systems Device 0630
Primary device ID: 11c1:0630
Support type needed or chipset: agrsm
There is no agrsm software support for x86_64 systems, through the
modem may be
supported on Intel/i386 installations, which do more slowly servce
x86_64 processors.
The AgereSystems/LSI agrsm code supports compiling of a agrmodem +
agrserial driver pair.
There are a few different chipsets which use this driver pair, but
they use different code resources:

All of the above packages are dkms competent. This means that if
your Linux distros dkms package
is previously installed, if provides for future updates matching
forthcoming kernels.

I have tried several drivers for this particular modem and I have
found that the following driver:
11c1:0620 2.6.28
agrsm06pci_2.1.80~20090825_i386.deb or
agrsm06pci_2.1.80~20090825_i386.tar.gz
the one for 11c1:0620 which I have made to work under 2.6.27.27 Slax
kernel and I had previously tried multiple times and several others
reported success.
For your kernel and CPU it will not work since it is 64 Bit :(
CPU=x86_64,
Linux version 2.6.31-14-generic
There is no agrsm software support for x86_64 systems, through the
modem may be supported on Intel/i386 installations, which do more
slowly servce x86_64 processors.
This is the bad part :(. If you install a non 64 bit OS, then you
might have a chance with a previous 2.6.27/28 based kernel, but not
with 2.6.31 at this time :(
If you decide to reinstall but in 32 bit mode only, try to install wvdial :
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.
You can try Slax Live CD for which I built a module(Slax's package
built for Slax), for the 11c1:0620 which might work for your modem
(11c1:0630), if you wish to give that a try before reinstalling let me
know and I'll email you the module and then you may let us know if it
works or not.
Regards,
Antonio
