Thanks, but it is not needed :)  scanModem has confirmed your mail to list.

 For candidate modem in:  001
    SGS Thomson Microelectronics 56k SoftModem
      Primary device ID:  0483:7554
 Support type needed or chipset:	slusb



There is a package sl-modem-source providing a source code the modem
driver slusb ,
If can be searched for at http://pacakge.ubuntu.com.  After
downloading install under Linux with:
  $ sudo dpkg -i sl*.deb
It is preferable to install the dkms package first.
With DKMS support installed, driver updates with kernel updates will
be automatically done.

The modem is supported by the Smartlink slusb
plus the slmodemd helper utility.  Read the
DOCs/Smartlink.txt and Modem/DOCs/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance.


For 2.6.35-27-generic compiling drivers is necessary. As of October
2007 the current packages at
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/  are the
ungrab-winmodem-20070505.tar.gz and slmodem-2.9.11-20080126.tar.gz

For your modem, visit the page:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=sl-modem&searchon=names&suite=maverick&section=all
and download both files
and install with

  $ sudo dpkg -i sl*.deb
It is preferable to install the dkms package first.
With DKMS support installed, driver updates with kernel updates will
be automatically done.

But you are encouraged to install DKMS support first as it is highly
recommended.   If you get stuck, read the file
DOCs/Smartlink.txt  carefully and then send a mail back to list with
what you have done and we'll see how we can help.

Antonio
