Hi all! I think this is similiar to my http://knoppix.net/forum/threads/30210-Dial-up-Modem-and-KNOPPIX-v7.0.4-Live-CD-...?p=127914 forum thread with klaus2008's help. We managed to get the modem driver to compile and communicate with its Hayes ATZ command. See http://pastie.org/4776738 OR http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=YjLE4Sge for my Terminal's copy and paste log. The bad news is that the free driver is only up to 14.4k data speed. I would have to pay to get the full package. I rarely use the dial-up, but it would be nice to have when my cable goes down or whatever reasons. :( Unless there is a free one somewhere?
