Hi, Ken. It would help if you can find out what sort of winmodem it is. At
the moment it seems that there are Linux winmodem drivers available for
only 2 types: those with Lucent chips, and PCTel winmodems. I guess you
will almost certainly need to "update" to a more recent kernel to use
them!
If you want to read about the driver development, you could look here:
http://linmodems.org
and if you want more information than you can imagine (including the
driver downloads), try:
http://www.o2.net/~gromitkc/winmodem.html
BTW, arachne fans reading this might like to know that I have arachne
working with a PCI modem (a real one, not a winmodem). I will post details
soon...
