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.

Presently install your Linux Distributions dkms package. It provides
for automated driver updates,
following upgrade of your kernel. For details see

There are no blacklisted modem drivers in /etc/modprobe* files
Potentially useful modem drivers now loaded are:
snd_hda_intel
If a USB modem or cellphone is attached and was not detected, please
provide available information in your request to discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Candidate PCI devices with modem chips are:

The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
The kernel was compiled with gcc version 4.4.3 and a compiler is not installed
The code linking utility, ld, may be needed and is provided in the
binutils package
The patch utility is needed for compiling ALSA drivers, and possibly others.
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

To enable dialout without Root permission do:
$ su - root (not for Ubuntu)
sudo chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
or under Ubuntu related Linuxes
sudo chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd

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
Which can interfere with Browser naviagation.
Don't worry about the following, it is for experts should trouble
shooting be necessary.
