Hello, I need some help. I am new to Linux, loaded on an older Notebook computer - used Dos and Windows for many years. I installed Ubuntu version. Most of the things work fine, I can connect to the Internet though a Router. But sometimes I am away from home and want to use the Winmodem built into the computer. the Winmodem is an Agere LT system (OEM vendor INTEL PRO/100+ MiniPCI. I downloaded the scanModem.gz file. Installed a directory /Modem. Extracted, but found only one file: scanModem (210.2Kb). I use GnomeCommander for filemanager. If I hit enter A get the "source file" (I think) but cannot run it. If I type the command sudo ./scanModem nothing happens. Please advise: 1./ can I use my winmodem 2./ how to activate the scanmodem program? 3./ I suppose to see more than one file after extracting the original (according to your description). I only found one. 4./ I am not sure how to run the commands, I used the command line on GnomeCommander (similar to WinCommander) Thank you for your help
