As a general rule 64-bit no worky with modems. The OBJ files provided were compiled for 32-bit only. Nobody has written drivers from scratch. Out of curiosity....what was the file name of the driver the vendor sent you? Were they planning on maintaining it or releasing the source code as OpenSource? Is this a dial-up USB modem, or is it a wireless thing like the Verizon um175 thing? A wireless modem should have automatically worked with Network Manager.
