I managed to connect normally through Marvin's instructions, I'm

I would like to add a few observations that could be helpful if
another linux newbie like me comes up with the same chipset and
distribution:

- Ubuntu 11.04 doesn't come with gnome-ppp or wvdial or any dialer,
one has to download them... and all their dependencies, and the
dependencies of their dependencies... from windows or somewhere else
and install manually inside Natty Narwhel.

-The scanModem.gz provided at the website doesn't match the
instructions, to run the scanner I had to type ./scanModem.2011080803

I hope any of this can be helpful to further assist other people in
need, the amount of people still using dial-up not only in my city is
higher than people might expect and I ran into a lot of misleading
information before being helped by you.

I don't know how to thank you enough, if not for you I wouldn't be
using Linux right now, thank you VERY MUCH.

   0703 Modem: Motorola SM56 Data Fax Modem 
      Primary device ID:  1057:3052
 Support type needed or chipset:	slamr
 


 1057:3052 has a Motorola chipset, poorly supported by Motorola itself
 However Zello discovered that drivers written to support Smartlink  modems do support the 1057:3052 chipset!!
 It sufficed to add 1057:3052 to the list of modem cards recognized by the Smartlink slamr driver.
 There is a ungrab-winmodem driver used in conjunction with slamr, which must have 1057:3052
 similarly added. See messages from Zello:
 	http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-seventh/msg00846.html
 	http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-seventh/msg00848.html
 and Alvaro Aguirre about the ungrab-winmodem fix:
	http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-seventh/msg00990.html
 For general guidance on ungrab-winmodem + slamr usage, read the DOCs/Smartlink.txt

    
There is a package sl-modem-source providing a source code the modem driver  ,
If can be searched for at http://pacakge.ubuntu.com.  After downloading install under Linux with:
  $ sudo dpkg -i sl*.deb
It is preferable to install the dkms package first.
With DKMS support installed, driver updates with kernel updates will be automatically done.

The modem is supported by the Smartlink 
plus the slmodemd helper utility.  Read the
DOCs/Smartlink.txt and Modem/DOCs/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance.


For 2.6.38-11-generic compiling drivers is necessary. As of October 2007 the current packages at
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/  are the
ungrab-winmodem-20070505.tar.gz and slmodem-2.9.11-20080126.tar.gz

 Completed candidate modem analyses.

 The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev

 Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.5.2
             and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.5.2


 
 Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
   make utility - /usr/bin/make
   Compiler version 4.5
   linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.38-11-generic/build

 However some compilations and executable functions may need additional files,
 in the FileNames.h (so called kernel "h"eaders) collection installed in  /usr/include/ .
 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.
 When compiling ALSA drivers, the utility "patch" will also be needed.




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

For guidance on FAX usage, get from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/  get faxing.tar.gz
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 ppp0
Which can interfere with Browser naviagation.

 Don't worry about the following, it is for experts should trouble shooting be necessary.
