[ltp] Slow Linux - Now Fast, but no modem!

[surferjeff@excite.com]

Yes, I'm using a TP 600, not a 600X or 600E.

Do I have to build the kernel just to get the modem working?  How do I build the kernel?  Wouldn't the driver itself have failed to build if it needed kernel modules?  Where do I run make?

I'll try using the dmesg and checking log and report back to you.  In the mean time, here was the result of that lspci command:

[root@localhost LinuxModem]# lspcidrake -v|grep -i comm
[root@localhost LinuxModem]# lspcidrake -v

Thanks for your help,
