actually the modem was provided by the local telco..and the driver CD was only for Win.. :-( However being a USB modem i tried to use it in Linux. Its actually a USB CDMA modem, ZTE make.. model AC8700
The fact is that, if the modem requires a driver, it is not a standard modem and you will have problems making it work under linux. I have no
Remember, Carlos, even plain-jane external modems that plug into a traditional serial port require a "driver" in Windows... if I were him, I would just try catting the /dev/whatever file that the modem shows up as, and see if it responds. Try some Hayes standard things, like: ATD telephone_number_here # AT = Attention D=dial If that works, then he should just try using it the same as if it were plugged into /dev/ttyS0.
experience making such things work, because I don't want to use them: I'm fortunate to own a plain serial port external modem. But now and then people explain how they got their model working: search this list archive, the wiki pages, google... I'm sorry I can not give you more help.
The needed info will be the output of the command "hwinfo --modem", as root. That will tell you how linux sees it, perhaps the chipset, and just maybe, somebody knows something.
