Kevin, One of the modems, the LSI has a chance to work: Predictive diagnostics for card in bus 01:08.0: Modem chipset detected on NAME="Communication controller: LSI Corporation 56k WinModem " CLASS=0780 PCIDEV=11c1:0442 SUBSYS=141b:9300 IRQ=10 IDENT=Agere.DSP For candidate modem in: 01:08.0 0780 Communication controller: LSI Corporation 56k WinModem Primary device ID: 11c1:0442 Support type needed or chipset: Agere.DSP The modem has a Lucent/Agere/LSI Mars or Apollo DSP (digital signal processing) chipset. Support packages for 2.6.n kernels are at: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/kernel-2.6/martian/ http://packages.debian.org/sid/martian-modem-source/ Always use the most update for kernels after 2.6.20, currently martian-full-20080625.tar.gz For kernels 2.6.20 and less, usr martian-full-20080407.tar.gz. There are corresponding packages for the Ubuntu distribution: martian-modem - ltmodem alternative driver providing support for Agere WinModem martian-modem-source - Source for the martian-modem driver See DOCs/AgereDSP.txt for Details. You may safely try the martian-full-20080625.tar.gz modem code and see if it compiles for you. The other modem, the pctel would work in 32 bit linux: Predictive diagnostics for card in bus 01:08.0: Modem chipset detected on NAME="Modem: PCTel Inc HSP MicroModem 56 " CLASS=0703 PCIDEV=134d:7890 SUBSYS=122d:0001 IRQ=16 IDENT=PCTEL For candidate modem in: 01:08.0 0703 Modem: PCTel Inc HSP MicroModem 56 Primary device ID: 134d:7890 Support type needed or chipset: PCTEL At http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/pctel-linux Get the pctel-0.9.7-9-rht-10.tar.gz Unpack under Linux with: tar zxf pctel*.tar.gz and read instuctions therein. Read DOCs/Pctel.txt and Modem/DOCs/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance.
