A mesi e mesi di distanza, non sono ancora riuscito in nessuna maniera a far funzionare questo stramaledetto modem.

Su consiglio di sunrots sono andato a leggere il topic per il quale non riesco a trovare una soluzione definitiva.

Modem or host audio card candidates have firmware information:

For candidate modem in PCI bus: 01:05.0
Class 0703: 8086:1080 Modem: Intel Corporation FA82537EP 56K V.92 Data/Fax Modem PCI
Primary PCI_id 8086:1080
Support type needed or chipset: INTEL537EP

In 2006, Intel appears to have ceased updates for Linux.
For the INTEL537 and INTEL536 chipset modems, the most current support is provided at:
http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/packages/intel/Philippe.Vouters/
But regular support is not available, see: http://archives.linmodems.org/24939
:
The outdated official Intel support packages can be accessed through:
http://developer.intel.com/design/modems/support/drivers.htm
Read Intel.txt and Modem/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance.

Writing Intel.txt

Completed candidate modem analyses.

The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev

Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.1.0
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.1.0

Compiling resources appear complete:
make utility - /usr/bin/make
Compiler version 4.1
kernel_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.16.21-0.25-default/build

Checking pppd properties:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root dialout 291796 2006-04-23 04:38 /usr/sbin/pppd

In case of an "error 17" "serial loopback" problem, see:
http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/archive-sixth/msg02637.html

To enable dialout without Root permission do:
$ su - root (not for Ubuntu)
chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
or under Ubuntu related Linuxes
chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd

Checking settings of: /etc/ppp/options

Read Modem/YourSystem.txt concerning other COMM channels: eth0
Which can interfere with Browser naviagation.

Don't worry about the following, it is for the experts
should trouble shooting be necessary.
