Yes. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommandlineHowto#head-735ee9ed388e7443efea1269a732e12ab59a0ad5 for how to open the terminal. Then follow the instructions at http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/first.html. First, determine the directory where you put scanModem.gz For instance, it might be in /home/bernard . Then type the following lines in the terminal: cd /home/bernard gunzip scanModem.gz chmod +x scanModem sudo ./scanModem You will now have to enter your password. Then, follow the rest of the instructions on http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/first.html . Tell me if you want me to clarify something.
