Marv,
Howard has attached ModemData.txt and there seems to be a slight
problem. See the following:

Support type needed or chipset: slmodemd
An ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) modem driver: snd-intel8x0m
provides Low Level support enabling contact with the modem hardware.
For all BUT Conexant chip soft modems (using hsfmodem software)
complementary High Level support is through a Smartlink utility: slmodemd
Download from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/
the package SLMODEMD.gcc4.4.tar.gz having a compiled slmodemd. Unpack
under Linux with:
$ tar zxf SLMODEMD.gcc4.4.tar.gz
and read instructions therein. But briefly, the modem is setup with command:
sudo slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY --alsa modem:1
reporting dynamic creation of ports:
/dev/ttySL0 --> /dev/pts/N , with N some number
Read DOCs/Smartlink.txt and Modem/DOCs/YourSystem.txt for follow
through guidance.
134d:2189 is a PCTel HSP56 MicroModem 688T modem with the Oasis chipset.
Under 2.6.n kernels, it is only supported through the Smartlink
slamr.ko driver.
The modem is supported by the Smartlink slamr
plus the slmodemd helper utility. Read the
DOCs/Smartlink.txt and Modem/DOCs/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance.
From http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/Ubuntu/ ,
download the package slamr-2.6.31-14-generic.tar.gz
Under Linux, open a terminal and unpack with:
$ tar zxvf slamr*.tar.gz
Move into the unpacked folder
$ cd slamr-2.6.31-14-generic
Look around
$ ls
Run the
$ sudo ./setup
Afterwards do:
$ slmodemd --help
$ slmodemd --countrylist &> Clist.txt
If not in the USA, look for your COUNTRY_NAME therein.
Do and edit with:
$ sudo gedit /etc/default/sl-modem-daemon
and therein replace the USA in the line:
SLMODEMD_COUNTRY=USA
This will provide for the correct Country setting in the automated:
slmodemd -c COUNTRY /dev/slamr0
Read the DOCs/Smartlink.txt and DOCs/YourSystem.txt
He has tried the latter solution provided by scanModem and got a
slmodemd not found? Does he need to try
SLMODEMD_gcc4.4_alsa1.0.21.tar.gz or the 2.6.31-?generic-slamr.tar.gz
file?
Thanks for looking into this.
Regards,
Antonio

To: Antonio Olivares <olivares14031@xxxxxxxxx>
I'd like to add that I looked for the file "SLMODEMD.gcc4.4.tar.gz" on the
webpage specified, and it wasn't there. So I tried the latest one that
sounded familiar. "SLMODEMD_gcc4.4_alsa1.0.21.tar.gz." But I don't
understand what to do with it after you have it there anyway. Where do you
put it? Or unpack it? That one doesn't execute itself so I didn't know what
to do with it.
==========================
You extract it with
$ tar -zxvf SLMODEMD_gcc4.4_alsa1.0.21.tar.gz
then
$ cd SLMODEMD_gcc4.4 ?
$ ./setup
similar to the other one that you have downloaded.
==========================
Also I have already tried to install the "slamr-2.6.31-14-generic" package.
When I get to the "sudo ./setup" step, I get a message like "slmodemd
missing, or not found," or something like that.
That's all I can think of. And what I told you about before with the
"network" dialog box not having the DNS tab. But surely there's got to be
some way to do this?
Thanks, Howard

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
The patch utility is needed and is needed for compiling ALSA drivers, and possibly others.
Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
make utility - /usr/bin/make
Compiler version 4.4
linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.31-14-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:
