if the drivers are fully open sourced, or even at least partially you should be able to build it against any 2.2.x kernel. If they are binary only then it is very likely they will ONLY work with the kernel they were built with. That most likely means pulling an old redhat kernel and installing it on the debian system. Or get a new modem. external serial port-based modem(opposed to USB) offer the most compadiblity and flexibility accross platforms. nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
