Okay,I downloaded the driver 0.9.6 from linmodems.org, there is a how-to about this modem, but it is not covered the M741 motherboard integrated one. I had experimented so many problems with this motherboard, the first time that i heard the sound card (cmi 8338a) sounding good, was when i completed the Mandrake 9 installation weeks ago, others linux versions don't even try it. But the modem PCTel PCT 789T aka HSP 56 integrated on the M741 motherboard widespread sold in Latin-America, first, when i finally compiled it and install it with the kernel modules, when i ship insmod pctel the first error i get is something like: the module was compiled with a 2.X.X version of GCC, your kernel was compiled with the version 3.0.x.. this is known don't work. Then, because i do not know how to work around this, the how-to simply encourage to ship insmod -f pctel. Then i get some typical errors about mixing commercial code with code-Free one, Well, finally, the pctel module is loaded, but when i go to insmod -f ptserial, the other PCTel module necessary to use the modem (they said) the module told me that it can't found the modem device on this computer,i compared the expected output on the how-to with my output and i felt down. Is there anybody interested in my M741 card ?
Excuse my bad English, i didn't show the exact errors because i even tried re-install the whole Mandrake, that is very good.

The good news is that you have the correct driver for your modem. There errors you are getting when you do the normal insmod are normal for this driver (and not the cause of your problems). There is an object file included as part of the driver that was compiled with GCC 2, and even though the error message says it's known not to work, it does (I use a pctel modem with that driver, but not one integrated on the MB).
Are you sure the modem is the PCT 789? If the chip is visible on the MB, you can look and see otherwise, you might try some of the other options in the driver. If you are sure that it is the 789, you might try booting with ACPI disabled or set to off. Some people have reported success with that.
