Chris, Please what it your kernel version # uname -r and Linux Distro. Under Linux, slusb.ko will not compile after 2.6.24 kernels. What slmodem package are you using? after the slmodemd -c USA /dev/slusb0 open a 2nd console and try # wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf MarvS On Wed, Sep 10, 2008 at 10:26 AM, Chris B <striek5@xxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi! > > I recently acquired a D-Link DPH 50U Skype adapter and have been trying to get it working with skype on linux, but I'm a little unsure how to proceed. > > So why am I on the linmodem list?
