Is this modem a winmodem? If so, try going to www.linmodems.org to see if your particular modem is supported under Linux or not.

Let us know!

i checked up on them.

there both winmodems but are compatiable.

but it seem the hcf one is more compatiable thn the pctel one.

but i need help on getting the dam driver installed.

cuz like i said i tried everything possible.

short of wrecking my cpu.

Try the older version of the driver.

if you have a problem remember to give the exact error message outputted by the program, it makes it easier to help.
