With this Subject Line cogent experts will be alerted, and useful case names left in the Archive.
YourCountry will enable Country specific guidance. Linux experts in YourCountry
can be found through: http://www.linux.org/groups/index.html.
They will know your Country's modem code, which may be essential for dialup service.

-------------------------- System information ----------------------------
CPU=i686,
Linux version 2.6.29.4-167.fc11.i686.PAE (mockbuild@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) (gcc version 4.4.0 20090506 (Red Hat 4.4.0-4) (GCC) ) #1 SMP Wed May 27 17:28:22 EDT 2009
scanModem update of: 2009_12_26
The dialer utility package WVDIAL does not appear to be installed on your System.
For Ubuntu users, there are at the bottom of http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/
packages with the files necessary to install wvdial, with names like:
wvdial_jaunty_amd64.zip for x86_64, 64 bit bus systems.
wvdial_jaunty_i386.zip for 32 bit systems.
wvdial_karmic_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.
Presently install your Linux Distributions dkms package. It provides for automated driver updates,
following upgrade of your kernel. For details see http://linux.dell.com/projects.shtml#dkms
There are no blacklisted modem drivers in /etc/modprobe* files
Potentially useful modem drivers now loaded are:
Attached USB devices are:

If a cellphone is not detected, see http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-878554.html
A sample report is: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-nineth/msg00578.html
If a USB modem or cellphone is attached and was not detected, please
provide available information in your request to discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

The PCI slot 00:0c.0 of the modem card may be disabled early in
a bootup process, but then enabled later. If modem drivers load
but the modem is not responsive, read DOCs/Bootup.txt about possible fixes.

For 2.6.29.4-167.fc11.i686.PAE compiling drivers is necessary. As of October 2007 the current packages at
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/ are the
ungrab-winmodem-20070505.tar.gz and slmodem-2.9.11-20080126.tar.gz
Writing DOCs/Smartlink.txt
============ end Smartlink section =====================
Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
The kernel was compiled with gcc version 4.4.0 and a compiler is not installed
linux-headers-2.6.29.4-167.fc11.i686.PAE resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!
If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
gcc-4.4
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:
$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb
Checking pppd properties:
-r-xr-xr-x. 1 root root 316616 2009-03-06 09:47 /usr/sbin/pppd
In case of an "error 17" "serial loopback" problem, see:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/linmodems/archive-sixth/msg02637.html
To enable dialout without Root permission do:
$ su - root (not for Ubuntu)
chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
or under Ubuntu related Linuxes
chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
Checking settings of: /etc/ppp/options

In case of a message like:
Warning: Could not modify /etc/ppp/pap-secrets: Permission denied

Don't worry about the following, it is for experts should trouble shooting be necessary.
