Rob As advised in ESScom.txt: The driver resources for 125d:2898 modems should be downloaded from http://tx.technion.ac.il/~raindel/ess_2.6-v0.3.tar.gz , benefitting from an update by Jeff Trull. There are brief instructions at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread .php?t=185079 Under Linux, unpack with: $ tar zxf ess_2.6-v0.3.tar.gz Move into the folder wit: $ cd ess_2.6-v0.3 Browse the files therein and run as Root the: $ $SUDO ./setup and follow the other instructions in ESScom.txt and Testing.txt Write back to the List if there are problems MarvS On Nov 26, 2007 7:14 AM, Robert Harley <rharle01@xxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hello, > > I have recently installed Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) in a dual-boot configuration (Windows Me) on a home brew computer (Duron 1.1GHz, 256MB memory, 60GB disc). > > It would seem that I need to install drivers for the Winmodem.
