[Gllug] [Fwd: Re: Access Runner modem]

I have this modem working on Red Hat 8.0, kernel 2.4.18. When it works,
it works great :o). It took lots of sweat, trouble and toil but it does
work. Under Red Hat 8.0 you have to use a kernel compiled with the older
gcc version (2.x something) as there is a proprietary module with the
Access Runner card that cannot be recompiled with gcc 3.2 (see
<rant></rant> a few months ago in this list)!

BTW I have an RPM and a few scratchy notes on how to get this working.
For those interested give me sometime to get it sorted. Sorry but I'm
due elsewhere right now!
