William, please download scanModem, from here http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/scanModem.gz copy it to linux partition and become superuser $ su - password: ***** # gunzip scanModem.gz # chmod +x scanModem # ./scanModem post to this list if you can't subscribe to discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx and I can relay your message to the list. If the slmodemd-2.9.X drivers worked for you before I do not see why not, the slmodem-2.9.11-20051101.tar.gz from smartlink directory in linmodems will not do the job for you. http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/slmodem-2.9.11-20051101.tar.gz If these are the drivers, be aware that you will need to apply some patches for it to work with Fedora Core 5, namely, I will refer you to http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/archive-sixth/msg01401.html where doing as the instructions for each file will work for Fedora Core 5.
