Linux , ALSA_version=
Linux version 2.6.25.16 (root@(none)) (gcc version 4.2.2) #1 Tue Aug 26
10:45:53 GMT-8 2008
scanModem update of: 2011_08_08
The modem symbolic link is /dev/modem -> ttyS0
/etc/lsb-release not found
Presently install your Linux Distributions dkms package. It provides for
automated driver updates,
following upgrade of your kernel. For details see
http://linux.dell.com/projects.shtml#dkms
There are no blacklisted modem drivers in /etc/modprobe* files
Potentially useful modem drivers now loaded are:
Checking /proc/bus/usb/devices
USB modem not detected among /proc/bus/usb/devices.
Candidate PCI devices with modem chips are:
High Definition Audio cards can host modem chips.
=== Finished firmware and bootup diagnostics, next deducing cogent
software. ===
A candidate modem is not transparent among the PCI devices:

with USB, bridge, and RAM devices not displayed.
If a High Definition Audio card is present, if might be hosted on the
Subsystem.
If your modem is an
external USB type,
connected by an external serial cable,
or mounted internally on an ISA card,
then scanModem would not access it.
Try with Root permission
$ wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
to detect these modem types and some USB modems.
If the detection is successful, read the DOCs/wvdial.txt .
Edit the /etc/wvdial.conf with Root permission:
gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
will be able to dial out with Root permission:
wvdial
Many modems for which scanModem fails have Conexant chips.
From http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/modemident.php
get the ListModem tool, which will report on Conexant chipset modems
If the above tests fail, please provide any independent information
available on your modem.
If an alternative boot into Microsoft windows can be done, do mouse
clicks on:
Start > Settings > Control Panel > Classical View (for Window XP) >
System
> Hardware > Device Manager > Modems > Click on the + > Modem. Double
click to
expand the graphic. Manufacturer information may be displayed. For
example, CXT
stands for Conexant. Click the Diagnostics Tab. Record any hardware ID
or vendor
and device information. From the Driver Details TAB, copy out the VENdor
and DEVice information.
Next do the Query Modem and record the ATI specifications displayed such as:
ATI3 - Agere SoftModem Version 2.1.22
ATI5 - 2.1.22, AMR Intel MB, AC97 ID:SIL REV:0x27
Try to identify the modem setup file, with name perhaps MODEM.INF.
If may contain chipset Vendor informaton.
The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
The kernel was compiled with gcc version 4.2.2 and a compiler is not
installed
linux-headers-2.6.25.16 resources needed for compiling are not
manifestly ready!
The code linking utility, ld, may be needed and is provided in the
binutils package
The patch utility is needed for compiling ALSA drivers, and possibly
others.
If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
gcc-4.2 make kernel-source-2.6.25.16
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

In case of an "error 17" "serial loopback" problem, see:

To enable dialout without Root permission do:
$ su - root (not for Ubuntu)

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