Dear Volunteers,
I am a Linux newbie and am having difficulty setting up my modem.
Attached is the ModemData.text file. I do not understand what it is
telling me to do. Thanks for the help.
Jeff

Primary PCI_id 1813:4000
Support type needed or chipset: AmbientTech
Under Linux 2.6.n kernels, the chipset is NOT SUPPORTED . Read InfoGeneral.txt about alternatives.
Vendor=1813 Ambient Tech was acquired by Intel with its HaM (Host assisted Modem) chipsets.
There is no support under 2.6.n kernels!!
Intel-v92ham-453.tgz 2.4.n kernels was the FINAL 2.4.n update for HaM modems, available at:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/Intel/ham/
http://developer.intel.com/design/modems/support/drivers.htm
It is NOT functional when compiled under 2.6.n kernels.
But under the 2.4.nn kernels, all HaM chipsets were supported,
with a single EXCEPTION: the odd PCI_ID 1813:4100 modems. For the explanation, see message:
