Hello,
I am having trouble installing the linux drivers for a winmodem/linmodem
in an old HP PC. I have run ScanModem on my system and attached it to
this email.
Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.
Brian

With this Subject Line cogent experts will be alerted, and useful case names left in the Archive.
YourCountry will enable Country specific guidance. Linux experts in YourCountry
can be found through: http://www.linux.org/groups/index.html.
They will know your Country's modem code, which may be essential for dialup service.

For candidate modem in: 02:0b.0
0780 Communication controller: LSI Corporation LT WinModem
Primary device ID: 11c1:044e
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.
At http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/kernel-2.6/martian/ get the martian-full-20080625.tar.gz and follow Readme-NOW.html

Completed candidate modem analyses.
A UDEV device file system is not active.
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.9.2
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.9.2
linux-headers-3.17.7-300.fc21.i686+PAE resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!
If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
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)
chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
or under Ubuntu related Linuxes
chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd

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