Miguel, sadly, the modem you have is unsupported. Read Modem/DOCs/InfoGeneral.txt for alternatives. Predictive diagnostics for card in bus 02:03.0: Modem chipset detected on NAME="Communication controller: 3Com Corp, Modem Division WinModem" CLASS=0780 PCIDEV=12b9:1006 SUBSYS=12b9:007f IRQ=5 IDENT=3COM.winmodem For candidate modem in: 02:03.0 0780 Communication controller: 3Com Corp, Modem Division WinModem Primary device ID: 12b9:1006 Support type needed or chipset: 3COM.winmodem Under Linux 2.6.n kernels, the chipset is NOT SUPPORTED .
