Hi Jacques, I downloaded the required file, to the FAT partition that I made when saving the ModemData.txt file. I have not yet inflated it, as I am expecting a better LINUX disc in the mail today. Knoppix that I have now, is very limited in that it needs the dvd/cd drive at all times, and setting the system up vanishes when I switch back to Windows. So tonight I will try with Mandriva or SeUS installed, and everything is ready to go. For people like me who use Windows without DOS, knowing where to give the commands is not as apparent as for DOS users. But thank you for your email, and I hope that if it does not work I may call upon you for some further help. Have a very good day Jacques Sally -----Original Message----- >From: Jacques Goldberg <Jacques.Goldberg@xxxxxxx> >Sent: Jul 16, 2008 3:57 AM >To: from sally <sallyhan2@xxxxxxxxxxxx> >Cc: discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx >Subject: Re: TOSHIBA SATELLITE WINMODEM WITH LINUX, SALLY > >Sally, >That's what we are here, among others. >Have you succeded in executing the instructions below, or do you need >further help? >And first of all, have you downloaded the file SLMODEMD.gcc4.2.tar.gz >to your Linux space, say in your login folder? > >Jacques > > >from sally wrote: >> Thank you Jacques, I am not used to reading such technical stuff since using Windows. :) >> >> -----Original Message----- >>> From: Jacques Goldberg <Jacques.Goldberg@xxxxxxx> >>> Sent: Jul 15, 2008 5:12 AM >>> To: from sally <sallyhan2@xxxxxxxxxxxx> >>> Cc: discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx >>> Subject: Re: TOSHIBA SATELLITE WINMODEM WITH LINUX, SALLY >>> >>> Sally, >>> The following excerpt from your ModemData.txt says what you have to do: >>> BEGIN >>> Download from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/ >>> the package SLMODEMD.gcc4.2.tar.gz having a compiled slmodemd.
