------------ -------------- System information ------------------------
Ubuntu 5.04 "Hoary Hedgehog"
on System with processor: i686
currently under kernel: 2.6.10-5-386
There are emerging complications under 2.6.10 and later kernels.
Concerning Intel-536ep and 537

The kernel was assembled with compiler: 3.3.5
with current System compiler GCC=3.3.5
/usr/bin/gcc -> gcc-3.3
A package kernel-kbuild-2.6-3 or later version must be installed to support compiling
Checking for kernel-headers needed for compiling.
The kernel-headers have base folder:
/lib/modules/2.6.10-5-386/build -> /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.10-5-386
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.10-5-386
A /dev/modem symbolic link is not set.

== Checking PCI IDs through modem chip suppliers ==
Vendor=8086 is Intel, Inc. producing HaM and 536ep host controller free (HCF) modems, 537 soft modem
and AC97 and MC97 controllers managing a varierty of non-Intel soft modem Subsystems.
These subSystems often have PCI_IDs assigned by the modem assembler, rather than the chip provider.
Download available drivers through:
http://developer.intel.com/design/modems/support/drivers.htm with Intel-537 types at:
http://downloadfinder.intel.co...;ProductID=1230&page_nbr=2
Also check at:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/Intel/537/
for beta releases and perhaps Already compiled drivers for some Linux distributions
A very detailed installation report cogent to 537 type modems is at:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/archive-fifth/msg00541.html
Setup call id with:
Type 1 : When the phone line is not in use at+vcid=1
Type 2 : When the phone line is already in use on a call at+pcw=0
