Hi, I installed ltmodem-kv_2.4.20_8-8.26a9-1.i686.rpm on RH 9.0 of my Dell laptop (please see attached ModemData.txt for the modem details) last year, but it failed to work. Advised by Jacques and Marvin that the RH 9 version is too old and I should change to use kernel 2.6. Now, I am ready to install ubuntu 7.04, which file should I download from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/kernel-2.6? Please point me an appropriate driver file for Ubuntu 7.
