Hi Adam, Great to hear it works. The speaker doesn't dial because the modem driver doesn't have this capability built in. It's possible to use these modems with later kernels (latest I've successfully built and hacked it for is 2.6.25.16. However, you will likely need to compile from source (we don't have precompiled drivers for those systems.) Cheers, Bjorn. Adam Pease wrote: > Hi Marvin, > Many thanks again for your help.
