MIke, On one of my Systems at least, blacklisting the hsf* drivers did NOT block their loading, as they are directly called by one of the /etc/hsf/ scripts. The full uninstall was necessary. You can check with: $ lsmod | grep hsf Because of the lack of a Subsytem in PCI slot PCI ID SubsystemID Name ---------- --------- --------- -------------- 00:11.6 1106:3068 Communication controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. AC'97 Modem Controller I expect that this is just a "hang on" the audio card and a modem is in fact not present, unless you have some evidence from Microsoft that it is really there. It is the Subsystem which carries the specs on which software should be called.

When downloaded under Linux, both will install with: $ sudo pkg -i li*.deb Next from http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/packages/ltmodem/kernel-2.6/martian/ get the martian-full-20071011.tar.gz After the primary install, read the Docs and get syntax instructions from $ martian_modem --help But basically it is $ sudo modprobe modprobe martian_dev $ sudo martian_modem --country=us should create /dev/ttySM0 --> /dev/pts/SomeNumber If so open a 2nd concole of Tab on the running one and $ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf On some systems there is a failure here, for reasons obscure. But if successful, edit in your dialout info with $ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf also adding 2 lines: # needed for /dev/pts/N ports Carrier Check = no Then dial out with: $ sudo wvdial Please send to the List not direct to me MarvS On Jan 5, 2008 12:39 PM, Michael McGinnis <mcbooks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Thanks, Marvin.
