After giving up on it, I tried to read the French (developer language) version as the true source. A real improvement would be to cut down the information. Many places lead to many differnt locations for the same thing. It's very hard to get an overview. Most things appeared old to me (even if not true), especially if not including a date. Multi language websites are hard to maintain, as it's never easy to know what is up to date, where is an error fixed, which translation got actually a source (as the translater is adding information...). I've read the FAQ in the wiki in this direction French->German->English->Spanish->French. I'm German, living in Madrid. But the French version seemed most up to date. And how speaks a Spanish automatically understands 10% French... (-: Especially when knowing from the translations what to expect. If I had sticked to just one language, I knew less. > I've already put the forum in english by default to make it easier for > non-french-readers and part of the wiki is already in english, e.g. : > http://faq.eagle-usb.org/wakka.php?wiki=ModemSupport > > > and the German, English and Spanish pages are mostly > > behind - if existing... <-: I was talking about the wiki FAQ pages. > > > I saw it this morning... > > ....I thought nobody is interested.

Everything is fine. (-: I hoped to get more reaction of other users. Generelly I don't like forums as they tend to be less developer/ experienced user orientated.

I didn't liked the driver. As it had no debian integration yet I like to get the big picture to help myself setting everything up. But there was no big picture. Instructions where like "do ./startmodem and if it does not work run ./doctor-skript". The 4k startmodem was actually two calls: eci-load1 and eci-load2. The rest was checking and (re)mounting usbfs somewhere in /proc and stuff like that. Unfortunately it did a bad job with that on my system!! At _no_ point was note to eci-load[12]. Only the funky scripts were mentioned and the nifty tcl/tk configuration. - I don't need that. I need to know who is working with whom. I need to understand the way the program is working. With that I can help myself in case of problems. I don't know the install advices of eagle-usb, but it has a debian-integration... (-: For Arrakis: DNS is at 195.5.64.2 and 195.5.64.6 Robert
