Marv, Martin and others users that have agrsm modem, I have created a slax module for use with slax 6.1.1 Linux Live CD out of the new package. I don't have a way of testing it at this time because I left the machine(s) that have this modem at school (11c1:0630). It would be of great benefit if users that have this kind of modem to test it and report back either to this mail or to slax forum so that I can try to improve the module. Slax forum thread: http://www.slax.org/forum.php?action=view&parentID=39934 Link for module there as well.
