Hi Jan,
Thanks! Works like a charm. The only place I got hung up was on
modversions.h. I had a modversions.h in /usr/include/linux and tried to
create an appropriate symlink but make complained that I shouldn't use
this
system file. I then realized I didn't actually have the kernel source
installed, so got it off of RH 7.1 CD 2
(RedHat/RPMS/kernel-source-2.4.2-2.i386.rpm). After doing
cd /usr/src; ln -s linux-2.4.2 linux
make;make install proceeded as advertised and minicom (and eventually RH
PPP
dialer) found the modem and were able to connect to my ISP. I can now
disconnect my external modem until at least my next upgrade.
