This is a switch. I've yet to make the iCue's modem work with
W98 ("the driver doesn't support your hardware..."), despite numerous
driver re-installs.
BUT
Using the driver found on www.amptron.com it WORKS with Linux.
I've already set up PPP and sent myself mail.
It comes as a .zip file (seems silly not to be a .gz if
targeted for Linux, but the unzip on TurboLinux 6.0 unpacks it just
fine). It expands to a little directory tree including lib/pctel.o
that you can try to insmod. It's built for some Caldera version
with a 2.2.5 kernel, so it wouldn't directly insmod under 2.2.14-3,
so I followed the rebuild instructions: cd to src/module and make.
The resulting lib/pctel.o insmods just fine. You make a node as
specified in the readme, and a symbolic line for modem, and minicom
will happily use it. It eats something over half a meg of kernel
memory, though.
Before you get too excited about that src directory, the
only source file has just two arrays to get filled in according
to the current kernel version, so that insmod will work. That
gets compiled and linked with 4 or 5 .a files back in the .lib
directory. So the interesting source is not provided.
It sounds like it may work with some other PC-Tel HSP modems.
