Hello,
I had what is probably the same problem on an Acer TravelMate 292LCi
running Debian 3.1 (sarge) with security updates.
The command "lspci -vv" shows:
0000:00:1f.6 Modem: Intel Corp. 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97
Modem Controller (rev 03) (prog-if 00 [Generic])

This seems to be a soft modem manufactured by Agere Systems.
The installed "sl-modem-daemon" package has version 2.9.9a-1 and is
configured for device "auto" and country "GERMANY". With the Debian
kernel package "kernel-image-2.6.8-3-686" (version 2.6.8-16sarge6)
the modem works, with a self-compiled Linux 2.6.16.36 there was no
dial tone.
I then fetched the Debian source package sl-modem 2.9.9d+e-pre2-8,
compiled it locally, extracted the daemon binary, and modified
/etc/init.d/sl-modem-daemon to call the newer binary. The modem worked
with Linux 2.6.16.36.
Best wishes,
Martin Lottermoser
