Can anyone explain this? do i need to update the kernel, if so how, or maybe it would be easier to buy a new modem. also when istalling with rpm, what does Result=0, Result=1, etc mean. thanx.

Obviously, they did not compile one for 2.4.xx or whatever you have in RH7.2. If you install the 'source' RPM, it will let you compile a version which is optimised for your system. I have never done a src RPM, but I assume that it will pretty well automate the process. It won't do any harm to try it. I have never bothered with error codes in RPM: either it works, or I can suss out from the test messages what has happened. Usually code=0 means no error. Try 'man rpm'.	Guest (0)
