Re: SM56 modems in redhat 7.2
those drivers are RPM's from motorola site. note that their support is not longer continued since
the software modem department at motorola was closed. The wrapper you mention are only for pctel,
and lucent (the latest is source wrappable while the first is ... I really dont know, it "make"s it self from
the current kernel and a .O file...).
Unkillable Process:
You are lucky. Some guy reported that under 2.4.some_number he could not load that driver.
I just compiled a new official kernel, since the 2.4.8.mdk did not support lirc. and when I build
it I got ugly messages and lirc did not load. IMHO basic kernelz are the best... but I am a purist...:)

Nobody wants constructive criticism. It's all we can do to put up with
constructive praise.
