A modem support line is absent from /proc/asound/pcm, as displayed with:
$ cat /proc/asound/pcm

Deducing softmodem properties from the hardware type.
The Major.Minor versions differ for the
the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.0
and the designated compiler: none
But there must be a match on the target for driver installation,
of gcc Major.Minor versions or kernel and drivers!!
Otherwise the drivers will fail to load with warning:
Invalid module format!!"

Kernel-header resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!

If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
linux-headers-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4

Checking pppd properties:
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 250892 Nov 2 2004 /usr/sbin/pppd
To enable dialout without Root permission do:
$ su - root
# chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
or under Ubuntu related Linuxes
chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd

Checking settings of: /etc/ppp/options
lock

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

Checking for modem support lines:

/device/modem symbolic link:
slmodemd created symbolic link /dev/ttySL0:
Within /etc/udev/ files:

Within /etc/modprobe.conf files:

Within any ancient /etc/devfs files:

Within ancient kernel 2.4.n /etc/module.conf files:
