If needed I can forward the info I found on the internet that got it working for me. Or you can just search the net using the modem model # and you will find the info. Although the #$%^%$ thing works, it does not work nearly as good under linux as it does under windozs (drat). The next modem I buy will be an external modem. Again if you need the info I will send it to you but it would be better if you found the source on the internet as the solution is quite detailed. Have a nice day. Charles
