basic driver installation


I have a creative Modemblaster V.92 HSP PCI modem. I recently installed red hat 7.3. everything except my modem works, even the built in sound on my motherboard. now, the problem is this: i have drivers(though i don't know if they work) but i can't install them on my system, because i don't know how. if ther's any tutorial on this subject, please tell me(or if its simple just write it down)...
thanks

Most modems are of course, winmodems, they require software to work at all, and all of the drivers are specific per model, so the Linux community has never bothered to try and tackle the herculean task of creating hundreds of drivers for all of these things... luckily most of the modem manufacturers have started to release some. The best list is probably www.linmodems.org

Cheers,
