I have a 333MHz iMac and the internal modem has been broken for a long
time. I have a Zoom USB modem, which works fine under Max OS 9 but has
never worked under YDL. I went over a whole variety of procedures when I
installed YDL 2.3 and bought the three-month installation support, but
nothing worked.
Then, as an experiment, I installed Debian. There were a lot of problems
with the installation (I like YDL a lot better), but under Debian all I
had to do was type "modprobe acm" and it informed me that the modem was
/dev/ttyACM0, and then after I configured wvdial to use that port, it
dialed out just fine.
So, my question. Is there any way to replace/upgrade the acm module in
YDL to one which will work with my USB modem? Or do I have to wait for
the next version of YDL?
Thanks.
