[ale] USB modem

[Cor van Dijk]

Greetings,
I am trying to get a "Hawking" usb modem to work on RedHat. But neither
Enterprise 3 nor 7.2 (on my old machine)
will even find it. Its "ready" light will come on, but nothing else
happens. My usb Zip drive works, so the usb stuff seems to be working.
Is there a way to force the OS to find that modem? Any suggestions?
I am not wedded to RedHat, if there is a distro that has a better
chance, then please let me know.
Thanks in advance, Cor van Dijk
