My suggestion to the OP would be to start a new thread to see
if anyone can get his Linmodem sorted out.  I use a Lucent
modem and with a little messing about the drivers can be made
to compile using the kernel headers package.

W/Linmodems are definitely still a pain.  I had fun with Ubuntu
when I couldn't find gcc on the Live CD[1], which really does give
you a Catch 22.

[1] Not sure if this is still the case, and apparently there is
some kind of devel package on the install CD, just not installed
by default.
