Dear Luggers,
Its 2.40 am and I finally got my modem working in RHEL. The problem was that I had piled up many drivers one over another. I did a fresh install of the OS and then installation and setup was as smooth as butter. I also observe that though the site says that the free driver version is limited to 14kbps, I am able to connect at 56Kbps.
I am sending this mail from evolution in RHEL and this is my very fisrt mail to you all and thanks to all of you, especially the admin for this lovely forum.
Best Wishes,
Rony.
