Peter,

scanModem reports that your modem is supported through
martian-20080625.tar.gz drivers:

Predictive  diagnostics for card in bus 02:05.0:
	Modem chipset  detected on
NAME="Communication controller: Agere Systems LT WinModem "
CLASS=0780
PCIDEV=11c1:044c
SUBSYS=11c1:044c
IRQ=11
IDENT=Agere.DSP

 For candidate modem in:  02:05.0
   0780 Communication controller: Agere Systems LT WinModem
      Primary device ID:  11c1:044c
 Support type needed or chipset:	Agere.DSP



 The modem has a Lucent/Agere/LSI Mars or Apollo DSP (digital signal
processing) chipset.
Support packages for 2.6.n kernels are at:
 http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/kernel-2.6/martian/
 http://packages.debian.org/sid/martian-modem-source/
Always use the most update for kernels after 2.6.20, currently
martian-full-20080625.tar.gz
For kernels 2.6.20 and less, usr martian-full-20080407.tar.gz.

 See DOCs/AgereDSP.txt for Details.

 At http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/kernel-2.6/martian/
get the martian-full-20080625.tar.gz and follow Readme-NOW.html
 0x044c -- Mars 3 Perseus data/fax only:North America and Global board
 0x044c -- Mars 3.2 Mercury data fax only when no eeprom is present,
North America DAA

But you need to hunt down some packages:

 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

Look for linux-libc-dev and libc6-dev for your Ubuntu Intrepid and
install them, then you can follow instuctions provided in
DOCs/AgereDSP.txt

Once downloaded and transferred into a Linux partition,
they can be installed alltogether with:
$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb

If you install the driver correctly and the modem does not respond,
you may read this section provided by scanModem:

Modem interrupt assignment and sharing:
 --- Bootup diagnostics for card in PCI slot 02:05.0 ----
[    0.600552] PCI: 0000:02:05.0 reg 10 32bit mmio: [d2003000, d20030ff]
[    0.600561] PCI: 0000:02:05.0 reg 14 io port: [2840, 2847]
[    0.600570] PCI: 0000:02:05.0 reg 18 io port: [2000, 20ff]
[    0.600608] pci 0000:02:05.0: supports D2
[    0.600612] pci 0000:02:05.0: PME# supported from D2 D3hot
[    0.600618] pci 0000:02:05.0: PME# disabled

 The PCI slot 02:05.0 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.
 Send dmesg.txt along with ModemData.txt to discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
 if help is needed.

Let us know if you encounter difficulties/achive success.

Regards,

Antonio
