[snip] The issues can b ny of the followin........
--> Has the modules for the modem been inserted into the kernel....??? --> Has the symlink frm /dev/modem to the actual /dev/sm*** charachter device been made....??? --> Make sure that u hav the RPM with the modules for the right kernel. This is the most common reason thingz don't work.
