Thanks for responding, Larry. When I type "modprobe acm" it returns me immediately to the prompt without any messages. When I tried "insmod acm", it told me acm was already there.
What kind of program is mincom? I couldn't find it on my CDs, but maybe I have something similar.
A spelling error, should be minicom.
Thanks, deedee
Have you tried loading the module by: "modprobe acm" then using mincom or such program to see if you can talk to the modem?

I have a USB Zoom V90 56K external faxmodem, which is, I believe, device ttyACM0 (that's a zero not a capital o). How do I get Mandrake 9.1 (kernel 2.4.21.-25) to recognize it and use it for dialing out?
Mandrake sees it in the devices list, but calls it an unknown device. The Wizard for setting up the Internet connection does not see it at all, and there appears to be no place for me to give it the correct device name using the Wizard.
When I was trying to identify all my USB devices (I had trouble at that time getting Mandrake to recognize my USB external floppy drive, which I solved), I got back the following information:
hub.c: new USB device 00:08.0-2, assigned address 5
usb.c: USB device 5 (vend/prod 0x803/0x9700) is not claimed by any active
driver.
usb.c: registered new driver acm
ttyACM0: USB ACM device
acm.c: v0.21:USB Abstract Control Model driver for USB modems and ISDN
adapters
Am I providing you the correct information? If not, what do you need?
Is there another utility -- GUI or CLI -- that will allow me to set up an Internet connection with this modem? I have the ML 9.1 PowerPack.
