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

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.

Antonio
