Be sure to search their discussion list archives. Also, they have a link to the linmodem how-to. However, be aware that it is three years old, and some of the information may be out of date. 2. I found one applicable thread in the Fedora list archives: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=fedora-list&w=2&r=1&s=hsp56+mr&q=b 3. Search google for "linux fedora hsp56mr" and "linux fedora hsp56 mr". (If I were more skilled at using google I could probably devise a better query to cover both model numbers at one time.) Incidentally, the generated lists could be reduced by using Google's language choice option. Several years ago, the standard response on linux mailing lists to your question would have been, "It won't work and you have to buy a real serial port modem". Fortunately, through the hard work of some members of the linux community, workarounds and fixes have been devised so that it is now possible to make many winmodems workable. However, I will stay with my beloved Zoom external serial modem: no drivers, no compilations, it just works. -- cmg
