After you download it take it to your linux partition and # gunzip scanModem.gz # chmod +x scanModem # ./scanModem Some files will be generated and you will be told if the modem is supported under Linux. If that is hard to do please do as root user # lspci if it does not work su - root # lspci and send it to the list.
