First, Marvin, thank you for your patience with me and this situation.
I checked the agrsm06pci-2.1.80-20090825 folder and the postinst file
you mention does not exist. I moved that folder to the /usr/src and
continued with your alternate commands.
The first command (dkms add) worked successfully.
The second command (dkms build) failed with the screen message
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 2.6.26.8.text3
(i586)
Consult the make.log in the build directory
/var/lib/dkms/agrsm06pci/2.1.80-20090825/build/ for more information
The contents of that log file are as follows:

This is a postinst file in your /usr/src/agrsm06pci-2.1.80-20090825 folder
if the agrsm06pci-2.1.80-20090825 folder is not in /usr/src/ , move it there.
Then with root permisssion, run
# ./postinst
or alternately the following commands;
VER=2.1.80~20090825
dkms add -m agrsm06pci -v $VER
dkms build -m agrsm06pci -v $VER
dkms install -m agrsm06pci -v $VER
If all successful
# agrsm-test
When you upgade to a new kernel, the dksm will automatically compile
the matching kernels.
provided that the linux-headers for the new kernel are also installed.

Just to clarify, I am not sending these messages from the machine on which I
am trying to install this driver. If I need to install anything, I have to
be able to download from another machine and transfer via thumb drive, etc.
Second, I just noticed that somehow the Ubuntu Linux got connected to this
message and may be confusing. I am not running Ubuntu, I am running
PCLinuxOS2009.
I already downloaded the deb file you mentioned. When I try to install the
driver with the dpkg command you provided earlier, I get a message about
command not found. This is not making sense to me since it appears that the
dkms is already installed, based on the list of packages installed in the
Package Manager. All packages related to dkms are shown as installed.
So, I am confused. I cannot install the dkms without a modem and I cannot
install the modem driver without dkms. To top it off, it appears that dkms
is already installed.
Is there a source for dkms that I can download from another mashine? I can
try to reinstall dkms from that, if you think it would help.
Thanks.

I feel like I am missing something somewhere.
I originally downloaded the file agrsm06pci-2.1.80-20090825.tar.gz.
After
unpacking, there are no *.deb files.
So, I rechecked and found agrsm06pci-2.1.80-20090825_i386.deb which I
just
downloaded and tried to install with your directions. Now I get a
"command
not found" message when attempting to do the dpkg command you provided.
As near as I can tell, the dkms is installed on the machine. I say that
because all dkms-related items in the Package Manager (PCLinux2009) are
listed as installed.
I am beginning to think I am in a doom-loop. I cannot install the driver
with dpkg, and I cannot connect to the internet to update any packages
because dial-up is my only means of connecting.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks for your efforts.

Martin,
Don't use the agrinst. FIrst install the dkms package, if you haven't
already.
Then start the install with
$ sudo dpkg -i agrsm*.deb
and the dkms system will take over.
With the agrsm-tools.deb package previously installed, then run
$ sudo agrsm-test
for detection of your modem.

Martin,
agrsm06pci-2.1.80~20090825.tar.gz is the only package which may
provide service for the 11c1:0630 chipset
Best check that multiple driver sets are not installed somewhere:
$ find /lib/modules/$(uname -r) -name agr*.ko
If there are multiple. Best delete all and rerun the
agrsm06pci-2.1.80~20090825.tar.gz install.
If this was not the last installed delete all and rerun the
agrsm06pci-2.1.80~20090825.tar.gz install
It is not clear from your message below as to whether the wvdial
package is installed or not.
If not, from the bottom of http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/
get the wvdial_jaunty_i386.zip
Under Linux
$ unzip wv*.zip
$ cd wvdial_jaunty_i386
$ ls
install with
$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb
Then rerun the
$ sudo agrsm-test
If successful, it will write a file /etc/wvdial.conf . Edit it
with:
$ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
putting in personal info while deleting symbols: < > ;
Then try a dialout with:
$ sudo wvdial
Upon a reboot the modem will be set up by:
$ sudo modprobe agrserial
You can check porsts with:
$ ls -l /dev/AGR* /dev/SAGR
and for driver loading:
$ lsmod | grep agr
Once you are online under Linux install the dkms driver update
utility
with:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install dkms

I also tried to install the "agrsm06pci-2.1.80~20090825" with the

Can you walk me thru what needs to be done now?

If you are not using the Deb installer previously sent,
the best place to unpack it is in /usr/src/ to potentially enable
the
dkms support.
