How do I install the driver for my invisable modem?
 

Thank you mermxx for showing me the way to Driverguide.com and the pctel.zip file which contains the driver for my HSP 56 micromodem! I truly appreciate your response. :D

I have downloaded the zip file and extracted the following directories/files:

src/module/Makefile
src/module/ptmodule.c
lib/control.a
lib/dsp.a
lib/hal.a
lib/ptserial.a
lib/pctel.o

Now..., what are the steps for installing the driver? Anyone reading this is welcome to respond, but please note: I am very much a Linux :newbie: so please be patient with me and instruct me one baby-step at a time. Thanks.

(Remember: your help will contribute to makeing a newbee (me) more proficient in Linux and in turn, able to help other newbees make the move from the Windows monopoly to Linux.)

Sincerely,

Moonjasmine
