Hi,
could you please help me. I have been trying to connect Ubuntu 8.10 to the internet via a dial-up modem. Please find attached the ModemData.txt file.
The main problem I have encounted is I couldn't find the network manager. Then I attempted to instal "gnome-network-admin-2.22.2-Oubuntu_i386.deb" so that I could eventually invoke the network manager. But "gnome-network-admin-2.22.2-Oubuntu_i386.deb" wouldn't install because I needed "libdbus-glib-1-2". So I got "libdbus-glib-1-2" from "packages.ubuntu.com" and installed that only to receive a message that it was already installed. Despite this I reinstalled again. Then I tried to instal "gnome-network-admin-2.22.2-Oubuntu_i386.deb" only to receive a message that it needed "libdbus-glib-1-2". This leaves me at an impass in trying to connect ubuntu 8.10 to the internet.
Could you please advise me how to connect ubuntu 8.10 to the internet after you have reviewed the attached ModemData.txt file. Could please also advise me on what resources (i.e. software drivers and where to get them from etc) to accomplish this task of connecting ubuntu 8.10 to the internet.
I am situated in Melbourne Victoria Australia.
I thank you for your time and co-operation in this matter.

Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.3.2
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.3.2
Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
make utility - /usr/bin/make
Compiler version 4.3
linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.27-11-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:
$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb
Checking settings of: /etc/ppp/options

It has samples for a modem using port /dev/ttySL0, which must be changed to match your modem's port.
Read Modem/DOCs/YourSystem.txt concerning other COMM channels: eth0
Which can interfere with Browser naviagation.
Don't worry about the following, it is for experts should trouble shooting be necessary.
