make KERNEL_DIR=/lib/modules/2.4.2-2/build install
and it spit out this

I tried different source path but didnt work. I have the kernel source and headers in.
What went wrong ??
Probably not what you want to hear but since running GNU/Linux is all about performance, protecting assets and providing services in a continuous, stable and secure way you must know Red Hat Linux maintenance and errata support ended on April 30 of 2004 for all YES ALL Red Hat Linux releases (not RHEL) so move to a recent, maintained and supported distribution and move soon.
If you like the general acceptance in the workplace, ISV compatibility certification, release longevity and stability RHEL brings but don't want to pay for it you could run CentOS (we're at 5 now). If you like what RHL provided but want bleeding edge stuff then you could run Fedora (at 8 now). Else check out the many "which distro" threads here.
coz i have this software that only works with that.
But nevermind. I was intending to use the modem to have a pppd connection to be a backup for ntp when internet connection fails.
shit happens when you deal with old stuff. we all get used to it anywayz.... lol
I will try to make one of my local (DEFINATELY NEWER RHEL 4.5) linux to be a local ntp server and make it as a backup time server AND make it use the stupid usb modem. If it still doesn't work, I will go and bang my head on the wall !!!!
I will try it out myself and will come here for help if i hit any problem.
anyway .... is this the problem i am facing with the driver??? seems complicated ... lol
Safe seeks The lseek() system call allows user space to move the current read/write position within a file. It is not an operation which normally attracts attention, since its full effect is, normally, to change an internal integer index. It turns out, however, that lseek() has been poorly implemented in many parts of the kernel. The recent vulnerability discovered by Paul Starzetz has highlighted the problem, with the result that the internal handling of lseek() is changing significantly for 2.6.8.............
after a few clicking on the search engine, it seems that slmodem is a bit bugged with newer linux-es, 2.6.9. I haven't try it out yet ... but i got a feeling that i will bang my head on the wall and pay for some bandages and a new usb modem.
About unresolved symbols and maybe there's more reent packages here. BTW, the latest stable 2.4 right now is 2. I know this ain't funny but Winmodems are usually nothing but trouble.
You're persistence is commendable but really, external hardware modems are cheap and right now they could be had for zilch since the masses flock to xDSL and such. Time is money and looking at the time you already invested, wouldn't it actually be *cheaper* to go out and grab one?
I just decided to pawn that stupid modem and get another one that is more commodating to linux.
Any to recommand ?
And how do I know if a modem is winmodem ?
I can't find any evidence of it to be a winmodem, so it's not ?
e.g.
Am I able to know from all these specs ?

Excellent choice.

Usually vendors will promote it like it's really good, so the box will often read "winmodem". Besides that since it has at least half of the hardware removed (meaning ClippyOS has to emulate the chipset) it'll be real cheap.

Doublecheck with http://www.linmodems.org/ and http://start.at/modem should do.
If they don't allow you to ship back and get a refund or swap for another product then I'd say buy someplace else.
