Hi Marvin,
Many thanks again for your help. I was able to get the modem working,
although somehow it didn't get the dial tone on the first try. The
laptop speaker also doesn't emit the sound of the initial connection,
but that's minor.
One question - will I need to run with the version 19-generic kernel
each time I want to use the modem?
Many thanks again. I hope Canonical will contract with you to get all
these instructions into a startup script in their default distribution.
It's still a challenge to get this working even for a programmer like
me, and even with good instructions!
Adam
