Hi All, I have gone through all sorts of grief getting my winmodem to work with linux. I am using SuSE 7.1. I have downloaded the kernel-source, have recompiled the kernel and sucessfully installed ltmodem-5.99b (www.heby.de/ltmodem).

This could be because the PPP kernel module could not be loaded, or because PPP was not included in the kernel configuration. If PPP was included as a module, try `/sbin/modprobe -v ppp'. If that fails, check t suse@linux:~ > /sbin/modprobe -v ppp modprobe: Can't locate module ppp suse@linux:~ > exit
It seems that when you recompiled the kernel you did NOT add PPP into the kernel, nor as a module... Hope it helps, Alvaro Novo SuSE 7.1 -=- Kernel 2.4.2-4GB -=- KDE 2.1.1 12:14am up 4 days, 1:49, 4 users, load average: 0.08, 0.02, 0.01
