<p>Most dialup modems are not supported by Xubuntu, but drivers can be found that will enable the use of some such modems. First you need to identify what chipset your dialup modem is:</p>
<div class="procedure">
<ol class="procedure" type="1">
<li class="step" title="Step 1">
<p>Download <span class="application"><strong>scanmodem</strong></span> (<a class="ulink" href="http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/scanModem.gz" target="_top">http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/scanModem.gz</a>) using a computer with an Internet connection.</p>
</li>
<li class="step" title="Step 2">
<p>Copy the downloaded file to the Home folder of the computer with the dialup modem you wish to use.</p>
</li>
<li class="step" title="Step 3">
<p>Open a Terminal (<span class="guimenu">Applications</span> → <span class="guisubmenu">Accessories</span> → <span class="guimenuitem">Terminal</span>) and type the following commands, pressing <span class="keycap"><strong>Enter</strong></span> after each line:</p>
<pre class="screen">
gunzip -c scanModem.gz > scanModem
chmod +x scanModem
sudo ./scanModem
gedit Modem/ModemData.txt
</pre>
</li>
<li class="step" title="Step 4">
<p>A file containing information on the chipsets used by any detected modems should open. Print or save the information.</p>
</li>
</ol>
</div>
<p>Much more detailed information is available <a class="ulink" href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto" target="_top"> on the community wiki.</a></p>

<p>NetworkManager doesn't currently support modem connections, so you will need to install <a class="ulink" href="apt:gnome-network-admin" target="_top">Gnome Network Admin</a>.</p>
