Modem Installed but doesn't Work


I am again with another problem
I have PCTel HSP56 MR modem. It is a Winmodem. The Redhat Linux 8.0 Detected it as:

Modem: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 56k Winmodem (Smart Link HAMR5600 compatible) (rev a0)

I have tried PCTel drivers on it but it doesn't work
It doesn't load the module with the command insmod pctel and ptserial with error message that is " The driver you are trying to load is compiled with gcc version 2 and you are using gcc version 3.2 this known to not work"
The I have to load the modules with the command "insmod -f pctel" and "insmod -f ptserial"
It loads it with warning but the Modem doesn't work
Can any one Help me please.....

Look for a more recent driver to download (linked against gcc3.2). If the module is part of the kernel, a kernel recompile should do the trick.
