which driver did you download? it should be called intel536-4.68-rh9-up.tgz

This worked fine for me .

in the network config the modems device name is /dev/536 baud rate 57600 flow control software (XON/XOFF)
dont forget you have to reboot before trying it.

sorry its actually

/dev/536ep

silly typo.

Ive fixed it now im in linux online now thanks for all your help
