John, I need to do a correction in scanModem concerning Riptide, concerning your 0780 Communication controller: Rockwell International Riptide HCF 56k PCI Modem Primary device ID: 127a:4321 Support type needed or chipset: HCF.Riptide On http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/riptide/index.php it is instructed: If you have a RipTide HCF modem (127A:4321 or 127A:4331), you need to install *both* the RIPTIDE and HCF drivers, otherwise the modem will *not* work. So get to work on that process, after first establishing compiling support as Tony instructs.
