I have the same modem, which worked fine under Mandrake 8.2 but doesn` t under 10.0. I posted to the linmodem list, and have copied the essential parts of the thread below. Unfortunately, it doesn` t look very promising... I` m using an external modem now. I`d be pleased to be informed if anyone finds a better solution. Kat Peter, kernel compilation will NOT help!! Winmodem code comes with a pre-compiled component, that is NOT being updated. The HaM chipests will NEVER be functional under Linux 2.6.3 code MarvS Many thanks for letting me know. I`ll get by using an external modem until I learn kernel compilation then.
