I would like to be able to connect my Ubuntu system to a POTs line for
handling voice mail and outgoing FAX transmissions. I hope this is the
correct forum for this discussion. I am using an old PCI phone card I
had for a Windows systems. The attached ModemData.txt was generated by
the most recent scanModem. I am an experienced Linux user/developer
and know how to build a kernel if I have to.
Thank you, in advance, for your help.

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.

CPU=x86_64, Ubuntu , ALSA_version=k3.13.
Linux version 3.13.0-77-generic (buildd@lcy01-30) (gcc version 4.8.2 (Ubuntu 4.8.2-19ubuntu1) ) #121-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jan 20 10:50:42 UTC 2016

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
Some modem drivers can only be used in 32 bit modem on x86_64 systems,
while some others are competent on x86_64 Systems. Cases are:
1) http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-seventh/msg03119.html
for the snd-hda-intel audio+modem driver. Also applicable to AC97 modem controllers.
In both cases, 32 bit libraries must be installed to support the slmodemd helper having a precompiled 32 bit component.
2) For USB modems using the slusb.ko driver. 32 bit libraries must be installed to support the slmodemd helper having a precompiled 32 bit component
3) The hsfmodem and hcfpcimodem drivers for Conexant chipsest modes are x86_64 competent.
4) agrsm packages for LSI/AgereSystems softmodems are not competent on x86_64 systems.
There are no blacklisted modem drivers in /etc/modprobe* files
Potentially useful modem drivers now loaded are:
snd_atiixp_modem snd_via82xx_modem snd_intel8x0m snd_hda_intel

The PCI slot 00:14.2 of the modem card may be disabled early in
a bootup process, but then enabled later. If modem drivers load
but the modem is not responsive, read DOCs/Bootup.txt about possible fixes.
Send dmesg.txt along with ModemData.txt to discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.8.2

linux-headers-3.13.0-77-generic resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!
If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
linux-headers-3.13.0-77-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:

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 virbr0
Which can interfere with Browser naviagation.
Don't worry about the following, it is for experts should trouble shooting be necessary.
