Hi Bjorn, Marvin,
I am going to admit defeat over ever getting the above modem working on
my rubbish laptop.
I managed to get my hands on a Belkin USB to Serial Adapter F5U409-CU
quite cheaply, which uses the mct_u232 driver, to connect my USRobotics
56K Voice Faxmodem to my F10 machine.
When I plug in the adapter the following gets posted in dmesg;
usb 4-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3
usb 4-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
usbcore: registered new interface driver usbserial
drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial support registered for generic
usbcore: registered new interface driver usbserial_generic
drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial Driver core
drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial support registered for MCT U232
mct_u232 4-1:1.0: MCT U232 converter detected
usb 4-1: MCT U232 converter now attached to ttyUSB0
usbcore: registered new interface driver mct_u232
drivers/usb/serial/mct_u232.c: Magic Control Technology USB-RS232
converter driver z2.1
The output of /sbin/lsmod is as follows;

The above looks promising but when I try and set up a modem connection
using KPPP, selecting /dev/ttyUSB0 and querying the modem I get the
error 'cannot open modem'.
The output of wvdialconf, which isn't promising, is as follows;
[graeme@barney ~]$ wvdialconf
Editing `/etc/wvdial.conf'.
Scanning your serial ports for a modem.

Sorry, no modem was detected! Is it in use by another program?
Did you configure it properly with setserial?
Please read the FAQ at http://open.nit.ca/wiki/?WvDial
If you still have problems, send mail to <wvdial-list@xxxxxxxxxxxx>.
[graeme@barney ~]$
Can someone point me in the right direction please?
