Joe, with the ModemData.txt that you have attached, it seems to me that you are still running in 64bit mode. You may read: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-seventh/msg03119.html to get details as to how to get it working by installing several programs needed and how to proceed. Try to read the above page and if for some reason, it still does not work, please write back. Are you using SLMODEMD.gcc4.3-alsa-1.20.tar.gz?
