    Hi everyone..I am a newbie when it comes to Redhat (And Linux as a
    whole). I just recently installed the program with Windows running on
    one partition and Redhat 9 on the other. Everything has went
    seamless...I am picking things up rather quickly but I cannot get my
    ACM USB modem to work with this system.

    I have a Samsung N400 Cell
    Phone (Sprint Vision Service) and it connects through the USB port.
    I have heard of some people having success with this and I have tried
    to duplicate the scripts that they give as an example but I cannot get
    it to work.

    I looked at the logs and everything seems to go okay with the script but it
    just eventually times out and says "connection failed"

    I have tried connecting to:
    /dev/input/ttyACM0
    /dev/usb/ttyACM0
    /dev/ttyACM0

    etc.....

    The script I am using (amoung several derivitives) is located at:
    http://www.757.org/~joat/index.php?view=pcs

    Ideally I would like to just be able to load Kppp and go....But I know
    that life isn't always that simple..

    The wierd thing is that Linux recognizes my phone in the Hardware
    browser (And correctly identifies it as a modem but it will not work. The
    closest I have come to getting it to work was a few times I got it to kick the
    phone into data mode..but it only stays there
    for a few seconds before it disconnects..And it never actually allows
    me to surf the web.

    I contacted Redhat support and they basically told me that Redhat does
    not fully support USB Modems...

    Well...Not that I don't believe them..but I just refuse to..:) Anyone
    know of any hacks or patches to get this thing to work. Keep in
    mind, until a week ago, I have not even seen a linux system run...So
    please keep it as simple as possible..:)

    Thanks a million..I know I can get this thing to work!!

    Steve
