ya i tried the linuxant driver no luck.... i installed it with no dependancy errors but again when i go to configure and probe for a modem it says there is no modem detected, my freind told me to try the ppp dialer because sometimes it wont recognize it but it will still work.. ppp dialer? i didnt see anything like that.. PLZ PEOPLE I NEED UR HELP!!! i dont want to have to go back to windows... but if i dont get this i might just have to..

Thx again in advance

Sorry didn't spot this before, the conexant modems dont work under 2.6 kernels. I've spent days trying, I gave up and went back to a 2.4 kernel.
