Questions, Infos
----------------
First of all, please read the FAQ.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask me or the linmodems mailing
list. However, if your question is in the FAQ, the only answer from me
is RTFM (Read The F*** Manual).
If you send questions, send us the output of the command, that failed, not
only a description.

If you send me questions, please send me the output of the command that did
not work! Do not just describe your problem, copy & paste me the output of
your console.
output of the following commands can be helpful:

$ make clean
$ make
$ make install
$ insmod pctel
$ insmod ptserial
$ tail /var/log/messages
$ uname -a

do not just write me "it did not work", otherwise, I might be unable to help
you and your email will be trashed.
