Joe, Download http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/kernel-2.6/martian/martian-full-20100123.tar.gz and look for lib6 package as line output by scanModem recommends For martian_modem, additional required packages are needed. The also required headers of package libc6 are commonly installed by default. Compiling hsfmodem drivers does require 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. After successful installation of the libc6 package with $ sudo dpkg -i libc6* run $ tar -zxvf martian-full-20100123.tar.gz and $ cd martian-full-20100123 $ make all $ sudo make install $ sudo modprobe martian_dev $ sudo martian_modem leave it running and open another shell/tab and type $ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf and hopefully it will find /dev/ttySM0 as the modem port, if it does, then edit (with sudo priviledges) the file /etc/wvdial.conf and add the line "Carrier Check = no" and then run $ sudo wvdial to see if you can connect. If you can connect/not connect send us what messages you get so that we may try to help you.
