referring to http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-eighth/msg03904.html hi modem men, above hardware can be made operational in recent kernels. Though some issues were reported with varying causes for them, fixing 'em seems feasible. I used to surf with elinks via modem Delphi D40 11c1:1040 quite speedily, until the pppd died and the modem would not reconnect. So, the potential should be there ! http://a110wiki.de/wiki/Modem_operation always check your ATI11 results for line quality issues ! greets! F
