Mic, You are in luck. You shall need no drivers. Your modem may use the serial drivers Please do the following: Fire up a terminal $ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf It will scan and should find a modem on /dev/tty?. After it finds a modem all that remains to do, is to edit the file using sudo with your favorite editor, lets use gedit here as an example $ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf Remove the ";" in front of username, password and other place you see it. Fix the file by adding phone no. of the ISP that you use to dial, Add your username and password. Try to connect. If you trouble(s) report back.
