John, First install the Ubuntu dkms support. If you have some non-modem CONNECT, just do: $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install dkms If not, start at http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/dkms . After downloading the dkms.deb package , under Linux install with: $ sudo dpkg -i dkms*.deb Next from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/ get agrsm06pci-2.1.80_20100106_i386.deb agrsm-11c11040_20091225_i386.deb agrsm-tools_0.0.1_all.deb agrsm_howto.txt Running: $sudo dpkg -i agrsm06pci*.deb should result in compilation and installation of a agrmodem + agrserial driver pair $ sudo agrsm-tools*.deb will install automation tools and run a utility agrsm-test including wvdialconf Go that far and report back to the List After a reboot, to setup the modem, $ sudo moprobe agrserial should suffice without running agrsm-test again, once agrsm-test has been successful MarvS On Tue, Mar 23, 2010 at 4:15 PM, <jbhdbr@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > I am using an Agere USB modem. > I am using an Agere USB modem.
