Probably not. Please see the section "Which Linmodem hardware is supported?" above, and check the Linux Modem Compatibility database at Rob Clark's site.
If you have an ISA modem, did you use the isapnptools to allocate IRQ and DMA resources to the card? See "ISA Plug-n-Play", above, for more information.
In this case, the module is most likely installed correctly and is working, but you may have a problem with your ppp configuration. See "Configure your PPP dialer", above, for more information.
It has been reported that, with some kernel/module mismatches, a program
like kppp
will give this error, while an alternative like wvdial
does not, for the same modules and hardware. You may wish to try a different
ppp dialer and see if that helps.
This has been reported with ESS modems and wvdial
. In this case,
kppp
may work better instead.
If all seems lost, please see the section "Troubleshooting", below , and consider sending a message with the complete information described there to the mailing list at Linmodems.org.
Probably somebody on contract to the manufacturer, who probably does not have the authority the update/release/change the source code, and who probably doesn't have time to reply to your email in any case. See, for example, http://lwn.net/1999/1209/a/lucent.html
