Thankyou for your help. I actually was able to figure that out but I can't connect using either address. I have access to a linux laptop with fedora. Here is my post from the ubuntu forums: Hi- thanks for your answer. I ran scanModem and it gives a linuxant address to download a modem but my browser just hangs when I go there. It says: A driver source package is available at: http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/down...ubuntu-x86.php download: -7.86.00.12full -k2.6.24_16_generic_ubuntu_i386.deb.zip Is there another place I can get this? I had the same problem--ran scanModem, tried to access linuxant and...hang. Is linuxant out of business?
