I used the most recent version of scanModem I could find. (It is,
however, 23 weeks old.)'
I have been working at this all day and getting nowhere. :-/

Presently install your Linux Distributions dkms package. It provides for
automated driver updates,
following upgrade of your kernel. For details see

There are no blacklisted modem drivers in /etc/modprobe* files
Potentially useful modem drivers now loaded are:

The PCI slot 01:08.0 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.

Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
The kernel was compiled with gcc version 4.5.2 and a compiler is not
installed
linux-headers-2.6.38-8-generic resources needed for compiling are not
manifestly ready!
The patch utility is needed for compiling ALSA drivers, and possibly
others.
If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
gcc-4.5 make linux-headers-2.6.38-8-generic
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
Checking settings of: /etc/ppp/options

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
Which can interfere with Browser naviagation.
Don't worry about the following, it is for experts should trouble
shooting be necessary.
