Hans!
Apologizes are not needed. You were kind in trying to help.
I would appreciate if you could send me your drivers.
My chipset claims to be HSP, nevertheless I will try yours as well.
I have read the Debian does not ship pre-compiled modem drivers of some
manufacturers.
Anyway, in linmodem website I have found lots of information and tried
the sacnModem, a very nice script that did a good work on finding on
what was happening and clarified me a lot.
As I understood, I need to force much things in order to make the kernel
load the drivers properly.
I won't manage it in less than 2 months.
You see, I used to work in telecom support, and I've classified problems
in good ones and bad ones. The good ones are those that make you grow
when you defeat them. Something like: "A clever enemy is better than 10
stupid friends." And Debian is an opportunity to bring victory to daily
PC usage. And victory is not a gift, it must be conquered.
Thank you for your attention.
