Spent quite a lot of time on it a few months ago and tried a number of suggestions. I had hoped the new version of Ubuntu would sort it but no. Went to http://ltmodem.heby.de/ and thought to download a debian binary but none seemed to match my kernel and modem. So thought I'd try the ltmodem-8.31a10.tar.gz package. The result of ./build_module is documented in the following. I gave up here, not really knowing how to make sense of it.Those lucent modems are usually pretty easy to get going. What have you tried?

Older releases have been archived at: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/archive/ Also there is a RPM search engine at: http://rpm.pbone.net The closest match to your i686=CPU is recommended. The closest match to your i686=CPU is recommended. For example replacements in order of preference for an i686 would be i586, i486 and i386 If not present use the ltmodem-8.31a9.tar.gz compiler kit.
