ok.........
i went to linmodems.org, i sent the email to
discuss@linmodems.org & its UNDELIVERABLE!!!!!!
heres the results of the "modemdata.txt" file that the proggy generated:
The most recent update of scanModem accessed at

slmodem-2.8.1 and later versions support multiple modems on the same PC.
The slmodem-2.9.n drivers support MANY non-SmartLink soft modem chipsets
under AC'97 Controllers. The slmodem series is compatible with 2.6.nn Linux kernels
If there should be mis-dialing problems either use slmdm-2.7.10 or upgrade to a 2.6.nn kernel.
The modem port is /dev/ttySL0
Please see the support compatibility table within ModemData.txt.2
The controllers with an in line + are compatible.
There may be a warning about a not-SmartLink modem as the drivers load.
But just proceed with modem functionality tests as described at the end of ModemData.txt.2
Beginning with slmodem-2.9.4 , insertion of the drivers will be accompanied by
a report on the softmodem chipset identity. This provides directions to the appropriate
soft modem software, if slmodem-2.9.4 cannot serve. Thus include the chipset identify
information along with ModemData.txt, when requesting help from
discuss@linmodems.org
Watch for this chipset information through kernel messages by:
# tail -f /var/log/messages &
before insertion of the modem drivers.

The ModemDriverCompiling.txt is a MUST READ,
if you are not experienced in configuring kernel-source/
or get "Unresolved symbols" upon driver insertion.
