Willcome ;}

What file did you download from ibm.com?
Doing a search on your notebooks support homepage
for Linux didn't come up with a modem driver ...

However, there IS some support for the mwave modems
here ...

http://oss.software.ibm.com/acpmodem/

If this is what you got, could you please tell us
what exactly "but I can't install it" means? What
kind of error messages are you getting?

Cheers,
Tink

I'd recommend following the steps in the readme that you posted...

;)

uncompress (which apparently worked) and then go recompile your
kernel (or that's what make install will do, rather) ... hope your Linux
kernel sources actually live in /usr/src/linux

http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Kernel-HOWTO.html if something isn't
working right.

HIH...

Cheers,
Tink
