Aaron, What have you tried? Did you get errors in compilation? You need to post more information. scanModem reports that the modem is supported by martian-full-20100123.tar.gz . Predictive diagnostics for card in bus 02:0b.0: Modem chipset detected on NAME="Communication controller: Agere Systems LT WinModem " CLASS=0780 PCIDEV=11c1:044e SUBSYS=1235:044e IRQ=3 IDENT=Agere.DSP For candidate modem in: 02:0b.0 0780 Communication controller: Agere Systems LT WinModem Primary device ID: 11c1:044e 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 0x044e -- Mars 3 Mercury data fax only -------------- end Agere Systems section ------------------- Completed candidate modem analyses. The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.4.3 and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.4.3 The patch utility is needed for compiling ALSA drivers, and possibly others. /* kernel headers and sources are present and a copiler is there :) */ Minimal compiling resources appear complete: make utility - /usr/bin/make Compiler version 4.4 linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.32-21-generic/build Did you install the packages below? 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. After downloading martian-full-20100123.tar.gz, you may read See DOCs/AgereDSP.txt for Details. but I will post a summary $ tar -zxvf martian-full-2010123 $ cd martian-full-20100123 $ make clean $ make all $ sudo make install $ sudo modprobe martian_dev $ sudo martian-modem leave this running, and open up another terminal/tab $ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf and then after successfully finding modem port /dev/ttySM0, ediit the file /etc/wvdial.conf $ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf and remove the ";", and add username/password/ISP phone number and a line Carrier Check = no then try to connect with $ sudo wvdial Let us know how this goes..
