I ran scanModem and have followed all the instructions I could find. It
said I needed slamr-2.6.12-9-386
I have tried to install it and this is what I get:

I am new to this and I really don't know what most of this means but I
can follow instructions. It seems to me it did not work. What do I need
to do?
Thanks
Marvin
