LTModem and kernel 2.6.7-1-k7
My old (ancient) system, which I was using strictly as a gateway (since it had the ISA HW modem in it) seems to have died. This leaves me without internet access on my desktop. I am currently using my laptop, running Windoze to post this.
I pulled an LT Winmodem from another dead box (I have too many of these) lying around the house. I thought that I could get it working without too much difficulty, since I got the LT modem in this laptop running under Linux without too much difficulty, IIRC.
My problem seems to be in finding a binary driver to match my kernel. As the subject says, I am running a stock Debian 2.6.7-1-k7 kernel. I can find binary packages for many kernels, but not 2.6.7-1-k7, or 2.4.24 (which is the old kernel, still in lilo). Have I missed a Debian package, or any other binary package for this driver? I need a binary package since my desktop does not have kernel headers installed, which I would need to compile the driver, and I can not install the headers, since I don't have a working modem on the box.
