UPDATE=2009_09_15
Continuing as this update is only 3 weeks old,
but the current Update is always at: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il


Identifying PCI bus slots with candidate modems.
Running PCIbus cases
Analysing card in PCI bus 05:09.0, writing to scanout.05:09.0
Using scanout.05:09.0 data, and writing guidance to ModemData.txt
Writing DOCs/AgereDSP.txt

Writing residual guidance customized to your System.
A subfolder Modem/ has been written, containing these files with more detailed Information:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1stRead.txt Bootup.txt dmesg.txt DOCs ModemData.txt scanout.05:09.0 tmp
and in the DOCs subfolder:
AgereDSP.txt DriverCompiling.txt InfoGeneral.txt LSI_Agere.txt
Rational.txt SoftModem.txt Testing.txt UNSUBSCRIBE.txt
wvdial.txt YourSystem.txt
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please read 1stRead.txt first for Guidance.

this file ModemData.txt found in the modem subdirectory of scanmodem, will tell you what to do, in my case the file is here

http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/pack...l-2.6/martian/ get the martian-full-20080625.tar.gz

unpack it and go into the directory
type "make"
type "sudo make install"

run these 2 commands
scott2@scott2-desktop:~/martian-full-20080625$ sudo modprobe martian_dev

scott2@scott2-desktop:~/martian-full-20080625$ sudo martian_modem
martian: info: Your port is /dev/ttySM0

then you can setup wvdial to prove it exists at /dev/ttySM0
you will have to run martian-modem at every boot to run the program.

I did this in Karmic-Koala

Great tutorial here, however, you should mention for newbies that you also need the build-essential (and makedev?) package for compiling this.

But this will come in handy soon, as I have a few lucent modems lying around and my grandparents still have dial up.
