output from install. Attached is ModemData.txt file. I'm a newb. But
still able to think at this point. But cannot find a way to install
this fax modem. Please help.

Since 2006, Intel appears to have ceased its modem code updates for Linux.
The outdated official Intel support packages can be accessed through:
http://developer.intel.com/design/modems/support/drivers.htm
Beneficially, Philippe Vouters has been provided updates as the Linux kernel evolves.
But intensive personal support is not feasible, see: http://archives.linmodems.org/24939
The code for the INTEL537 and INTEL536 chipset modems is now at:
http://vouters.dyndns.org/Intel/ , previously http://x9000.fr
Copies are also stored at:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/intel/Philippe.Vouters/
For Ubuntu Linux users with Intel 536 and 537 chipsets, there are driver
installation packages available thru http://groups.google.com/group/ubuntu-modems
Read DOCs/Intel.txt and Modem/DOCs/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance.
Writing DOCs/Intel.txt
Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.6.3
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.6
linux-headers-3.5.0-39-generic resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!
If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
linux-headers-3.5.0-39-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

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.
