The modem can be found, as shown below:
. 0 Communication controller: Intel Corp. 536EP Data Fax Modem
Subsystem: Intel Corp.: Unknown device 1005
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 5
Memory at ea000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size = 4 M]
Capabilities: [e0] Power Management version 2

Go to intel to download the 536ep driver, I download the http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df-external/Product_Filter.aspx? ProductID = 977 & lang = zho
Three versions (rh9 for me and rh9 for main installation), and follow the readme prompt to perform the following operations.

1. login as ROOT
# Log on as root

2. extract the archive into a directory with "tar-zxvf. tgz"
# Decompress an archive file

3. cd into the directory it created.
# Enter the folder you just created

4. Type: make clean
# Input make clean to remove all the suffixes of those files.

5. Type: make 536
# Make 536 compile 536

6. Type: make install
# Install

But the problem arises.
Enter make clean as follows:
[Root @ localhost intel-536EP-2.56.76.1] # make clean
Cd coredrv; make clean
Make [1]: Entering directory '/root/. gnome-desktop/Software/drivers/intel-536EP-2.56.76.1/coredrv'
Rm-f *. ko *. o *~ Core
Make [1]: Leaving directory '/root/. gnome-desktop/Software/drivers/intel-536EP-2.56.76.1/coredrv'
Rm-f *. o *. ko

Input make 536 to report an error. The file/lib/modules... does not contain autoconf. h. I used find to check the/lib/modules Directory. There are a bunch of such files.
[Root @ localhost intel-536EP-2.56.76.1] # make 536
Module precompile check
Current running kernel is: 2.4.20-8
/Lib/modules... autoconf. h does not exist
Please install kernel source
Make: *** [check] Error 1

Although an error is reported, I want to try to install it on the first line. The result is still wrong. (An error is reported when mysql is used, but P can be used at the end)
Then execute make install
[Root @ localhost intel-536EP-2.56.76.1] # make install
Rm-f/etc/hamregistry. bin
Bash Intel536_inst

Make: *** [install] Error 1

When I use a modem to access the Internet, the linux system prompts that the driver still cannot be found and the restart is useless. All three versions have been installed. My system is redhat 9 and the kernel is 2.4.20.8.

I don't know what causes the problem. Hope to answer this question! Thank you!
Although there was a problem, it was still improved in general. at least we knew that this cat was an Intel Corp. 536EP Data Fax Modem, and it was driven, not the interface that the vendor said. I think dial-up Internet access in Linux will definitely be realized... Thank you for your help. it is indeed a pleasure to learn about linux ..

I have compiled the intel 536ep modem correctly, but it still cannot be accessed. The modem still cannot be detected using the Internet configuration tool. Unfortunately. Find some more information and share the process with you.
[Root @ localhost dev] #/usr/bin/wvdial -- chat bellsouth
You can also perform the following steps. The first line shows that the Intel536 module has been loaded.
[Root @ localhost root] # lsmod
Module Size Used by Tainted: PF
Intel536 1040516 0 (unused)
Run the # dmesg command to view the hardware and related information.

--> Initializing modem.
--> Sending: ATZ
ATZ
OK

The installation process is as follows:
The Internet address of localhost cannot be found, which will impede normal operations of GNOME.
Adding localhost to the/etc/hosts file may solve this problem.

Step 1: view the hardware information and find Intel Corp. 536EP Data Fax Modem, this step is very important. you should first check what chip is installed with hardware. rather than simply recognizing the brand you purchased.
[Root @ localhost root] # lspci
Find the cat with 536ep
. 0 Communication controller: Intel Corp. 536EP Data Fax Modem
Subsystem: Intel Corp.: Unknown device 1005
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 5
Memory at ea000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size = 4 M]
Capabilities: [e0] Power Management version 2

Step 2: find the second redhat installation disc to install the kernel. if installed, you do not need to install it.
[Root @ 127 root] # cd/mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS
[Root @ 127 RPMS] # find ker *
Kernel-doc-2.4.20-8.i386.rpm
Kernel-source-2.4.20-8.i386.rpm
Kernel-utils-2.4-8.29.i386.rpm
[Root @ 127 RPMS] # rpm-ivh kernel-source -*
Preparing... ######################################## ### [100%]
Package kernel-source-2.4.20-8 is already installed

Step 3, download the Intel 536EP driver, Intel official: http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scri ...?? Search for the Intel 536EP driver, and find the same installation package as your kernel (# uname-a check kernel.
Http://www.intel.com/design/modems/s..ep,537ep, etc)
Http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/Intel/ (modem driver in Linux, support intel 536ep, 537ep, etc)

Step 4: extract the installation package and install the 536EP Modem driver
1. login as ROOT
# Log on to [root @ 127 root] with root # cd/root/. gnome-desktop/Software/drivers
2. extract the archive into a directory with "tar-zxvf. tgz"
# Decompress the archive file [root @ 127 drivers] # tar-zxvf intel-536ep-4.69-rh9-up.tgz
3. cd into the directory it created.
Read the readme.txt file in detail.
[Root @ 127 Intel536-460] # cd/root/. gnome-desktop/Software/drivers/intel-536EP-2.56.76.0-rh9-UP
4. Type: make clean
# Enter make clean
5. Type: make 536
# Make 536 compile 536
6. Type: make install
# Install

In this way, after the above three steps are executed, it is generally okay. but at first I encountered the following error:

[Root @ 127 intel-536EP-2.56.76.0-rh9-UP] # make clean
Cd coredrv; make clean
Make [1]: Entering directory '/root/. gnome-desktop/Software/drivers/intel-536EP-2.56.76.0-rh9-UP/coredrv'

It may be that there is a problem with kernel installation. I have taken the following measures before.

I tried this method when installing the kernel. it is still useless.
The installation method (estimation) below redhat should be like this:
1. check that the kernel-source has been installed. the version is the same as that of the currently running kernel.
2 cd/usr/src/linux-2.4
Vi Makefile
Modify the four lines at the beginning of the Makefile file related to the kernel version according to the current kernel version. generally, remove the final custem file.
3 make mrproper
4 cp configs/xxxx. config. config xxxx select the CPU model based on your current kernel and whether or not the smp
5 make dep
6. Compile the modem driver according to the intel documentation.

Finally, with the help of Subbo in Hongqi community, the kernel source code is installed once forcibly, and the installation is successful.
# Rpm-ivh kernel-source-2.4.20-8.i386.rpm -- force
Then execute the preceding.
Type: make clean
# Enter make clean
Type: make 536
# Make 536 compile 536
Type: make install
# Install
Starting module and utilities
Depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in/lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/drivers/char/536ep. o

Depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in/lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia. o
Done

Step 4: go online.
Use System Tools> Internet configuration tools, and enable the system to automatically find the modem by adjusting the modem.
Or enter # minicom on the terminal to access the Internet.
[Root @ localhost root] #/usr/bin/wvdial -- chat bellsouth
View network configurations,
[Root @ localhost root] # ifconfig
[Root @ localhost root] # wvdial
--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.53
--> Warning: section [Dialer Defaults] does not exist in wvdial. conf.

--> Initializing modem.
--> Sending: ATZ
ATZ
OK
If OK is returned, the cat can dial.
[Root @ localhost dev] #/usr/bin/wvdial -- chat bellsouth
You can also perform the following steps. The first line shows that the Intel536 module has been loaded.
[Root @ localhost root] # lsmod
Module Size Used by Tainted: PF
Intel536 1040516 0 (unused)
Run the # dmesg command to view the hardware and related information.

Lspci can detect intel 536ep modem

Wvdialconf is used to automatically create the. conf file. the modem is automatically detected.
[Root @ localhost bin] # wvdialconf/etc/wvdial. conf
Scanning your serial ports for a modem.
### Automatic creation stops at USB 15.
[Root @ localhost root] # wvdialconf/etc/wvdial. conf

Finally, the problem was completely solved. I am now working on the network under linux 9, which is very convenient. I came here to express my excitement !! What I want to use in windows can certainly be used in linux. indeed, this process reminds me of it... thank you very much. unfortunately, the original linux has been deleted and many configurations have to be re-configured ...... but still very happy ....
I go to the http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/Intel/537/ to download the intel-537SP-2.37.50.1.tgz version of the driver (other versions are also possible, I don't have to try ). after the installation, you can dial normally. use the Internet Configuration Wizard, wvdial, or kppp. the speed is normal. it is also applicable to other linux systems or versions. friends who use this cat don't have to worry about surfing the Internet in linux.

The following is the information for querying ifconfig. it is the same as ipconfig in windows.
