Hi,
forget abt thsi modem, do u have a trash bin ? use that.
i have been searching for sm56 sol ever since i migrated to rh7.3, and then
rh8. the scr is not open. the drivers are compiled for rh7.1 so either you
move a step lower or forget abt it. just think that ur vallet got picked up
by someone
sometime back someone has posted a list / link of internal modems supported
under linux.
Regards
Harsh R Busa
