Here is the ModemData.txt file. It seems to contain very little
information. Is this hopeless? I have a plug-in modem (and a wireless
card when I am in range) that works, but it would be nice to be able to
use the softmodem built into the laptop.

------------ -------------- System information ------------------------
Puppy Linux
Linux 2.6.21.5 [i686 arch]
on System with processor: i686
currently under kernel: 2.6.21.5
The kernel was assembled with compiler: 3.4.4
a gcc-3.4.4 package must be installed to support driver compiling
A package kernel-kbuild-2.6-3 or later version must be installed to support compiling
Checking for kernel-headers needed for compiling.
Checking /usr/src/ for compressed compressed headers or kernel-source
Kernel-header resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!
If compressed resources are present, expand and then configure them following DriverCompiling.txt
They may have to be installed.
Within your Linux distributions' installation CD or online resource (and mirrows), search for :
Distribution PackageName OnLine
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Debian kernel-headers-2.6.21.5 http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages or install CD
Ubuntu linux-headers-2.6.21.5 http://http://packages.ubuntu.com/ or install CD
Xandros
kernel-kbuild-3.6 are additionally required by Debian, Ubuntu and Xandros
Mandrake kernel-source-2.6.21.5 If not present on install CDs search
http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/mandrake/official/10.0/i586/Mandrake/RPMS/
http://rpms.mandrakeclub.com/rpms/mandrake/official/LByName.html, or other mirrors.
SuSE kernel-source-2.6.21.5 , kernels are named k_deflt
FedoraCore4 kernel-devel-2.6.21.5 or kernel-smp-devel-2.6.21.5 on install CD1 or CD4
One of which must be installed if compiling drivers to match kernel 2.6.21.5 proves necessary.
Within the output Modem/ folder, read CompilingDrivers.txt for details.
A /dev/modem symbolic link is not set.
USB modem not detected.
