Years ago I bought a Mutli-Tech USB modem to work with a system running 2.4.X. I believe it might have been 2.4.24. The problem was that the driver and tty were only partially implemented. The driver worked well with the modem but did not support "cooked" mode. It was all raw. Made it worthless when dialing into the device using Minicom :) I half-a$$ed a work around for the device in the driver and it partially worked but was susceptible to panics :) The modem is a very nice modem and you can pick them up on eBay for < $30. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
