Candidate PCI devices with modem chips are:
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03)
01:00.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation Device 0be3 (rev a1)
High Definition Audio cards can host modem chips.

For candidate card in slot 00:1b.0, firmware information and bootup diagnostics are:
 PCI slot	PCI ID		SubsystemID	Name

 The PCI slot 00:1b.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.

===== Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) diagnostics ===== 
The ALSA packages provide audio support and also drivers for some modems.
ALSA diagnostics are written during bootup to /proc/asound/ folders.

The modem cards detected by "aplay -l"  are: None


The /proc/asound/pcm file reports:
-----------------------
00-00: ALC262 Analog : ALC262 Analog : playback 1 : capture 1

about /proc/asound/cards:
------------------------
 0 [Intel          ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel
                      HDA Intel at 0xd8d00000 irq 22

 PCI slot 00:1b.0
01:00.1 has a High Definition Audio Card
 The drivers are in the kernel modules tree at:
 /lib/modules/2.6.31-20-generic/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.31-14-generic/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko

    01:00.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation Device 0be3 (rev a1)
    01:00.1 0403: 10de:0be3 (rev a1)


 The HDA diagnostics did not recognize a modem chip on the audio subsystem,
 though a Conexant chip modem might not be recognized.

      Primary device ID:  0572:1329
 Support type needed or chipset:	dgcmodem
 


For owners of a Dell PCs with Conexant HSF modems, a driver source package with full speed enabled is available, but requires driver compiling. Read DOCs/Conexant.txt

 The modem requires a dgcmodem package.

For all code packages from Linuxant.com, either a driver set matching the boot kernel will be installed,
or the drivers will first be compiled and then installed. The expert on modem software for Linux is
"Support (Jonathan)" <modem.support@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

 From  http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/dgc/downloads-ubuntu-x86.php
 download dgcmodem-7.80.02.06full_k2.6.31_22_generic_ubuntu_i386.deb.zip 
 Under Linux unpack with:
 $ unzip dgcmodem*.zip
 Then install with:
 $ sudo dpkg -i dgcmodem*.deb
 Subsequently, the modem should be found with
 $ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
 Edit in your personal information with:
 $ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
 and try dialing out with:
 $ sudo wvdial.
 See DOCs/Testing.txt  for details.
 
 The directions following below need only be pursued, if the above procedures are not adequate.

Support can likely be achieved through two mutually exclusive alternatives:
1) The hsfmodem software for Conexant chipset modems: Read DOCs/Conexant.txt
The following ALSA alternative CANNOT work with Conexant modems.

2) An ALSA modem driver plus slmodemd.  Read DOCs/Smartlink.txt for details, and
to test get the package SLMODEMD_gcc4.4_alsa1.0.20.tar.gz from:

 The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev

 Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.4.1
             and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.4.1


 
 Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
   make utility - /usr/bin/make
   Compiler version 4.4
   linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.31-22-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
asyncmap 0
noauth
crtscts
lock
hide-password
modem
proxyarp
lcp-echo-interval 30
lcp-echo-failure 4
noipx

In case of a message like:
   Warning: Could not modify /etc/ppp/pap-secrets: Permission denied
see http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-sixth/msg04656.html

For guidance on FAX usage, get from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/  get faxing.tar.gz
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 ppp0 wlan0 wmaster0
Which can interfere with Browser naviagation.

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