Would some SuSE user please help Ken with compiling issues. My time is lacking. MarvS ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Kenneth Coney <superc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: May 9, 2007 7:52 PM Subject: Re: Ken USA, Welcome to SUSE LINUX 10.1 (i586) - Kernel kernel 2.6.16.13-4-default To: Marvin Stodolsky <marvin.stodolsky@xxxxxxxxx> MarvS, Thanks for replying. I know nothing about Linux, and less about Suse. How do I compile? Where do I get these packages you speak of? Are they like Windows .exe files in which I only have to click on them or is there something more complex involved? Thanks Ken PS Suse agrees that it is an Agere modem, but the wvdialer doesn't see it at all and wvmodem.conf seems to be referencing something called a serial port modem. My XP machine has no serial ports. Marvin Stodolsky wrote:

Support for a chipset and its continued maintenance is only initiated at the request of a major chipset buyer, or comparable sponsor.
