I found Intel-536EP-4.70.tgz 475K and compiled it.  It wants two files 
from /boot to check kernel version which we don't have, so I bypassed the 
main makefile and just compiled the module Intel536.o and made the device 
and installed the module manually (to ./net).

mknod /dev/536ep.o c 240 1
In pppsetup point to /dev/536ep.o   or ln -s that to /dev/modem
insmod -f Intel536

Finds IRQ 10 for device 00:09.0
Connect script failed
service #1:  Busy signal at .....

Three busy signals at two ISPs.  This could be another dud modem so the 
module may work.  I found several online references to this module being 
correct for this card.

Since I could not check kernel version, it says the module is tainted 
with or without -f, but loads it anyway and it finds the device.

It only compiles for 2.4 or 2.6 kernels.


The only linmodems I have been given are lucent/agere, pctel (dead) and 
jaton.  3com/USR and Rockwell/Conexant were Windows only.
