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.
Regards,
Antonio
