Sorry for not responding earlier, If you cannot run scanModem on Puppy or DSL, run it from Ubuntu, then tell us what kernel you are running under DSL and we will have to see if packages exist for that modem and for DSL. It is difficult to find out. I do not know if Puppy or DSL have a root password, but you can try the following $ gunzip scanModem.gz $ chmod +x scanModem $ sudo ./scanModem and see if it runs, then send the ModemData.txt and we can find out if there are solutions for your case.
