I don't think anyone minds a question about installing device drivers, 
Jon, but you will get better results if you provide a bit more information.

PCI modems are notoriously difficult to run under Linux, anyway, but my 
personal reaction to your problem was that I had no frame of reference 
upon which to comment (despite the fact that I *have* successfully got 
such a device running before!).

If you specify the exact procedure you are trying to follow, odds are 
someone will have done it before and be able to put you straight. 
Including version numbers and error messages tends to get people's 
brains moving!

I know it is a bit defeat-ist (sp?) but, frankly, is it worth the hassle 
 when for twenty quid you can get a serial device that you can just 
plug in and away you go?

FWIW, I bought such an item in Cassie's Computer Shop (formerly in the 
Armada Centre) and I have had absolutely no problems with it whatsoever 
under RH, Debian or WinNT.

Lovely day again.
