please let me know how to use usb gsm modem, or a simple usb drive to redhat enterprise linux.
Thanks in advance

Make sure that when u r going to plug the usb connecter phone it is in "Mass Storage Device mode".

Your current kernel must support this device.

Which version of kernel u r using?
Send me the output of "uname -a".

hi..thanks...after running command 'uname -a', i found kernel version 2.4.21, please suggest me what can i do, do i have to recompile/reinstall redhat or any other thing.
thanks

U try to use Fedora 9. Probably it may give u the driver.

OR

Try to use 2.6 version of kernel.
