Ok, I went to
http://www.sfu.ca/~cth/ltmodem/dists/redhat/8.26a9/ to d/l the binary fit for my modem. I went on terminal and typed "uname -r" and it gave me the following numbers "2.4.20-20.9". So I scroll down and d/l
ltmodem-kv_2.4.20_20.9-8.26a9-1.i686.rpm
I think that fits because it has the same numbers in it. But where did the 8.26a9 come from? Im also guessing i686 is your processor? If so, a Celleron Processor is at least a 686 am I correct?
The thing is, when I installed the package, and then went to Network Device Control, after logging into root. I would click configure and then +new Modem Connection... but Linux still wont recognize the modem. Any ideas?
