Antonio: Thank you for the information -- I installed the packages you suggested and can detect and install the modem now. Ubuntu can talk to the modem and make a call, but I'm still having trouble sending a fax, and I am nailing down my fax software configuration in order to do that. So I'm well on my way. Thanks again and happy holidays, Johnny On Sun, Dec 27, 2009 at 12:36 PM, Antonio Olivares <olivares14031@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > John, > > You might have been better off installing dkms and the agrsm tools packages: > > http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/dkms-agrsm_2.1.80-7_i386.deb > > http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/agrsm-tools_0.0.1_all.deb > > See the following details found in Modem/DOCs/Agrsm.txt: > > For the 11c11040 modem chips on High Definition Audio cards, the driver resource > is called dkms-agrsm and maintained at http://linux.zsolttech.com/linmodem/agrsm > / , > There are a few installation formats.
