I'm trying to install the driver for the Intel 536 modem on
an fresh install of Red Hat 9.  The instructions (see below)
indicate changes to package directory.  Where is the package
directory in RH9?  

Also, has anyone else got this particular modem to work with
RH9? Any advice or tips would be appreciated. 
--------
1.	Find out the kernel version of the target Linux system.
Open an X terminal windows and type uname -r command. It shows the 
Linux kernel version (Example: 2.4.18)
2.	'cd' to package directory:
	$ cd Linux_2.X.X
3.	Review and edit (if need) 'Makefile'.
Note: Probably you will want to correct in Makefile path to your 
local Linux kernel header files:
KERNEL_INCLUDES=/path/to/linux/include
Another way is to pass command line the parameter while running 'make':
$ make KERNEL_INCLUDES=/path/to/linux/include ...
4.	Run the ins_all script to install the modem. This step should be 
done after each reboot of the Linux system
5.	Use Kppp to dial-up to Internet.
