hi
i see your quite new to the game here at linux questions
a search on google told me this:
http://netmod.intracom.gr/installati...all-guides.htm
it has a pdf on there about what you need to do to get you modem working
you say your using mandrake 9.1, that should not be a problem by way of support for usb modem stuff ( please any one else correct me if i am wrong ) so you could skip the part about recompiling the kernel, unless you really want to
