Thanks for all the replies. However, as I said in my previous mail, I am familiar with the linuxant drivers. No there is no beta version available for quite some time on their pages. I specifically asked about the rpm's on the suse 9.1 CD's to see if anyone has been able to get them to work. If my friend has to pay for the drivers it won't break his bank, but if there is a viable alternative, I would

I don't know that you're going to find much of an alternative to the drivers on the Liniuxant site. I tried the drivers which shipped with v9.1 and was not able to get them to work, probably because they weren't designed for the Conexant chipset in use on my buddy's system. That is not really all that surprising. There is a long history of problems with Linux and winmodems (or softmodems, whatever you want to call them). At least the manufacturer is going out of it's way to provide RPM's for the various major Linux distributions. Many wont even make the attempt.

I own the linuxant license, and apart from some problems when upgrading (better to be sure to have the right rpm for the kernel) and one config problem (fixed using the serial generation option), I'm quite happy with the job linuxant does. I understand you not being happy of not having a pure GPL option, but linuxant seems to perform. Every time I needed something their help line (via mail) works. regards, R.
