Charles, It is strongly advised that you install some Linux using current 2.6.n kernels, such as a current Debian or Ubuntu Intrepid installation. THe 2,4,27 kernels are some six years old and well not support many features of newer PC hardware. Also the ppp protocols have significantly evoled. So there is no guarantee that even successfully compiled drivers and the six year old pppd protocols will be able to effectively negotiate with current Internet Provider protocols. But if you do continue with kernesl 2.4.n , you could try using from: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/archive/source/ the ltmodem-8.26a6.tar.gz Before beginning you should install the packages libc6-dev or comparable and kernel-headers-2.4.27-2-386. However I do not know where such would be archived, after six years. MarvS scanModem and former ltmodem maintainer.
