1.
Funny. I did run all the make commands as root is
/usr/local/537EP/..
Maybe detection of the modem was an issue?!?
2.
The OEM said it was a PCI card. Also, the PC is 3/4 years
old and is no longer under warranty. I have to decide whether
a. Open the box and check the whether the card was put in
right. [And possibly add two old modems while the box is
opened - there is enough slots - I have nothing to lose.]
b. Attach an external serial modem and try to connect. [I
already have one.]
I usually use DSL - so modem connection is just for backup
(and I don't care about speed). I use wheelchair, so
moving/opening the computer is not easy although doable.
If I do that, I probably will do it on a weekend when my
geeky brother-in-law is in (not this weekend, but most
weekends afterward). [He opened computer boxes zillions
of times and played with them.] Then I can get his expertise
to double-check everything.
Since PCLinuxOS 2007 just came out, I'm thinking of updating
the OS [currently have PCLinuxOS 0.94], and then, try to get
everything correct.
So you won't hear from me for a few weeks - if at all. But
again, thank for your help.
