The modem comes with Linux drivers for both Redhat 6.2 & 7.1, but I found it
impossible to set up initially on my first Linux distro (8.1).  I even tried
going backwards to 7.1 so that I could go through the instructions "to the
letter", but I came across an error which brought me to a grinding halt!

I was hoping that this latest version of Redhat might pick it up
automatically (it did with my scanner which previously I couldn't set up),
but no luck  :-(

It's frustrating because if I can get online through Linux, then I can leave
my Windows OS for a good few weeks and really get into learning about
Linux - not like at the moment, chopping and changing between the two!
