Like I have told Dr. Lazaro, this 11c1 0620 agrsm modem is a difficult one to deal with. I have tried several times not once, even with newer code that Marv sent me agrsm-20090502.tar.gz which is available at the site where the other package is BTW. I have had kernel oops, and no success :( But we will have to see if they (LSI) release some code that will support this modem?
