Joe, Two questions: 1) You installed martian-modem-src deb package? or 2) You compiled martian-full-20080625.tar.gz package? In either of the two cases, the modem driver appears to be installed, the question becomes have you run $ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf and if it did find a modem port which should have been /dev/ttySM0 unless it was changed through init scripts, then you need to edit /etc/wvdial.conf with sudo priviledges and add a line "Carrier Check = no" to the file and save it. If you have done this, and have also added your username and password to the file and have tried to connect $ sudo wvdial and have not been able to connect or the driver is not responding? please do as scanModem advices to send us output of $ dmesg : For candidate card in slot 00:06.0, firmware information and bootup diagnostics are: PCI slot PCI ID SubsystemID Name ---------- --------- --------- -------------- 00:06.0 11c1:0449 1436:0440 Communication controller: Agere Systems WinModem 56k Modem interrupt assignment and sharing: 10: 4 XT-PIC-XT --- Bootup diagnostics for card in PCI slot 00:06.0 ---- [ 0.267034] pci 0000:00:06.0: reg 10 32bit mmio: [0xfedffc00-0xfedffcff] [ 0.267065] pci 0000:00:06.0: reg 14 io port: [0xfc88-0xfc8f] [ 0.267095] pci 0000:00:06.0: reg 18 io port: [0xf800-0xf8ff] [ 0.267180] pci 0000:00:06.0: supports D2 [ 0.267199] pci 0000:00:06.0: PME# supported from D2 D3hot D3cold [ 0.268035] pci 0000:00:06.0: PME# disabled The PCI slot 00:06.0 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.
