Edward,
Your modem is supported under Linux by the USB version of the SmartLink
slmodem/slamr driver, as can be seen for the same modem sold by Aztec in
Rob Clark's tables at http://xmodem.org/modems/usblist.html
When you find some waiting ModemData.txt, scrap it, it is obsolete.
Read http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/#scanModem to download and execute
the last version (less than two weeks old) of scanModem, a program which
writes ModemData.txt
ModemData.txt says which kernel you have and which driver file to use.
Send us ModemData.txt if you need further help.

Hi
I've now recently installed Ubuntu 7.10. I've been running Microsoft for
approx 24 years, I feel I had enough of it. I like the Linux style and wants
to pursue in that direction. I am a newy to Linux..
I have a problem installing my modem.
I'm on a dial-up connection and are using a external modem.
MODEM type = External USB
MAKE = Sahara 56K USB RP (1)
Product name = S9100-W
Model no. = UM9100-W
I am also having difficult to get the printer to work.
PRINTER Make = Lexmark X2350
Machine Type-model = 4420-001
USB connection
I've visit the HOWTO sites, changed from PCI to the external hoping it will
work, nothing going.
I'm still unfimiliar with the Linux terminology which make things a bit
difficult to understand.
Please be so kind and show me the way.
I am just running UBUNTU on my P4 machine, to connect to the NET I must use
another machine.
In the MODEM folder I found 2 ModemData.txt files, the one differs by the
period after the extension "ModemData.txt." and the contents read "Usb
modem PCI ID not recognized"
Thanking you in anticipatation.
Edward (linux newy)
