ModemData.txt file attached
Hi, and thank you for taking this email.
My modem shows up in Windows as a "US Robotics 56K Win INT".
I don't understand the modemdata text file. If you can tell me which driver
I need I would be very happy. I'm really starting to get into *nix and find
it a very exciting and rewarding experience!
Please, if you will, explain the important peices of the data file.
Thank you,
Chad Robert

The kernel was compiled with gcc version 3.4.4 and a compiler is not
installed
Kernel-header resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!
If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
gcc-3.4 make kernel-source-2.6.18.1
For Debian and some related distributions, a package kernel-kbuild-2.6-3 may
be needed to support driver compiling
