I guess you have a Lucent chipset modem, such as one on my T23. In
that case all seems lost. I use Mandriva myself and the modem worked
flawlessly under 10.1. In 2006 it doesn't work anymore. The driver
module (source can be found via http://www.linmodems.org) does not
load since kernel 2.6.12 (if I recall correctly). Or was it 2.6.10?
I'm a lousy programmer so I never looked into it. Moreover my friend
installed DSL at that time so I "inherited" an aged external modem
(usable, albeit bulky).
