is this the *real* output ? it looks to me as a mixup between "mount" output 
and command line input... should rather look like
"none on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw)" (with "on" before "/proc..." and 
"type" written out, not "-t"...)

oh... *now* i don't know further... is this a *real* error, or is it the 
difference between RH and Debian which causes this ?

If the usbdevfs is *not* in /etc/fstab and if you do *not* mount the usbdevfs 
by yourself, obviously the mounting of the usbdevfs takes place at one moment 
or another, probably by some script... but I don't know how Redhat handles 
this, I simply installed all the speedtouch stuff by hand, then inserted a 
line

none            /proc/bus/usb   usbdevfs    defaults

into the /etc/fstab , *et hop !* it worked... after still having to find the 
*good* mgmt.o file, as it seems that not *all* microcodes work with *all* 
versions of modem_run...

another thing you could try is unmount the wrong /proc/bus/usb , then remount 
it manually the correct way before "modem_run" , and if *this* works, all 
you'd have to do is correct the script... but editing scripts is *not* 
recommended for beginners... except if the howto is included in the script...

sure, the microcode isn't loaded as it should...

hth a bit more...
