driver for Linux. Please note that you need to have the kernel
source with headers to 'make install' this driver.  To have
these files you need to include 'kernel development' component
while installing Linux on your system.

Save settings and start using the modem with minicom.

Step 3
For users of SuSe Linux 7.3, which uses Linux Kernel versions 2.4.10, 
if you are booting from an image /boot/vmlinuz, please copy the file
 /boot/vmlinuz.version.h to the directory 
 /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include/linux and rename it
