Martin, On your System, the troublesome code segment is indeed "read" as: grep -v '#' with ' flanking the # However the code as written in scanModem line: BL1=$(grep -rs modem /etc/modprobe* | grep blacklist | grep -v "#" 2>/dev/null) actually has the double quote: grep -v "#" Would you try to figure out this problem on your System and/or the bypass to keep scanModem from hanging. Your Gentoo system is our first encounter with this problem. With regard to the VOICE issues, it is common that VOICE is not implemented in the software for many of the winmodems. The modem chipset manufacturers do not make any money off of Linux code, and we are grateful when we get even bare modem functionality. Conexant bought our the PCTEL modem sector. We don't expect any service from them. Robert Thornburrow is our expert on the PCtel software and may comment further.
