Pablo,
It is GOOD NEWS that you have some positive results, as there was no
report of a previous success. It there any possibility of getting
your laptop?/PC to an ethernet connection so that Alexie or Aleksey
might do a remote login under SSH?
They are the real code experts.
Please send the code package from Suse 9.1 to me, Alexie and Aleksey.
Aleksey,
The novelty of this package is that additional modems it supports
are the softmodems 11c1:048c and f . There is also a variant at:
http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/packages/ltmodem/sv92/
See below for more.
If you could help us do the fixes which might support current kernels,
it would be very useful
