John Jacques may indeed be correct. But sometimes there is some incompatibility between your browser and the Linuxant site. Under Linux with Firefox, there was no problem just now downloading: 1454500 2008-08-17 hsfmodem_7.68.00.12full_k2.6.24_16_generic_ubuntu_i386.deb.zip I'll try sending it to you as an email attachment.
