ddcc,
You were right :( There is no support under 2.6.X kernels, unless
there are some users who have made hacks???
For candidate modem in: 00:09.0
0780 Communication controller: Ambient Technologies Inc HaM
controllerless modem
Primary device ID: 1813:4000
Support type needed or chipset: AmbientTech
Under Linux 2.6.n kernels, the chipset is NOT SUPPORTED . Read
DOCs/InfoGeneral.txt about alternatives.
The last sentence summarizes what I referred to. It hopefully answers
which modem you will try to find that is better supported.
Regards,
Antonio
