Ok....I ran latest scanmodem and followed instructions.
Build (dkms worked great) and install worked but still obviously
something not right.
Attaching ModemData.txt (from AFTER build/install) as I hope not too
difficult to have solution.
Happy to supply any additional needed files but really really badly need
faxing capability soon.
Thank you :)

the most current package agrsm-11c11040-version at http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/
If not a Conexant modem, the driver agrsm with its dependent drivers:

provide audio + modem support with the modem chip residing on the subsystem.
Any particular card can host any one of several soft modem chips.

The AgereSystems/LSI agrsm code supports compiling of a agrmodem + agrserial driver pair.
There are a few different chipsets which use this driver pair, but they use different code resources:

* KV == latest kernel release with a reported success
!! Latest update with major credit to Nikolay Zhuravlev
But see conflict issue: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-nineth/msg02753.html
For the 11c11040 chip with kernels 2.6.31 and later a change in a modules loading settingmay be necessary.
Within the file /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf (or equivalent for your Distro), change the phrase:
options snd-hda-intel power_save=10
to:
options snd-hda-intel power_save=0
or the agrsm drivers will not function. For Ubuntu related systems this can be done with:
$ sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
Report from Bjorn Wielens:
Please note- trying to load the modules on a OpenSuSE 11.2 system gives
an error about the module_version symbol. Using:
# modprobe --force agrmodem
# modprobe --force agrserial
is necessary to load the drivers, and does not appear to cause ill effects.
All of the above packages are dkms competent. This means that if your Linux distros dkms package
is previously installed, if provides for future updates matching forthcoming kernels.

Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.5.1
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.5.1
linux-headers-2.6.35.11-83.fc14.i686 resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!
If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
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

In case of an "error 17" "serial loopback" problem, see:

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

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 wlan0
