there is a way to install your modem if Linux supports your modem type
logon as root then
excecute this command

#setserial -bg /dev/ttyS* // you have to place the * with a numbers from 0 to 3

you'll get "No Such device or address" for the wrong device
when u get something like

Serial controller: Unknown vendor Unknown device (rev 1).
Vendor id=12b9. Device id=1008.
Medium devsel. IRQ 5.
I/O at 0xf1ae [0xfcc1">.
Bus 1, device 0, function 0:

then this is the device (let's assign it's ttyS1 )

#setserial /dev/ttyS1 uart 16550A port 0xf1ae irq 5 // note that the values here are the ones we got in the last command
#setserial -bg /dev/ttyS1

you get "/dev/ttyS1 at 0xf1ae (irq = 5) is a 16550A"
now I hope you'll get your device to work

but there is still an issue that you have to do this every time you boot your machine to avoid this you can add the command at the end of the file /etc/rc.d/rc.local

#echo setserial /dev/ttyS1 uart 16550A port 0xf1ae irq 5 >>/etc/rc.d/rc.local // this will add the command at the end of the file

Hey Darkside!

As a start, NTFS support on *NIX is still experimental, this is because of:
1) (fact)MS doesn't publish the technical information about the architecture of(/fact) this FS, duh!
2) It's over complicated to study and reverse-engineer, that's why today's support AFAK for accessing NTFS on *NIX is in read-only mode (write mode is also available but it still elementary and considered unsafe).
Anyways, there is driver called ntfs-3g (written by Yura Pakhuchiy and Szabolcs Szakacsits), this driver can access NTFS file systems via most *NIX systems, and here is a complete guide to do so:
1) Know the partitions with NTFS system:
- Login as root: su -
- Type: fdisk -l dev/sda | grep NTFS (where your windows installation is on [h | s]d[a | b] drive)
This command will list partitions with HPFS/NTFS system, and we're interested in those only (write them down on a paper or something).
2) Take a deep breath because next is the tricky part:
3) Now, install these RPMS (from F7 DVD or from ftp like rpmfind.net):
fuse
fuse-lib
ntfs-3g
to do so, you need to cd to RPMs folder then type:
rpm -ivh [RPM name]
4) if everything went fine, try to mount the partitions you wrote earlier by typing this command:
ntfs-3g /dev/sda6 /media
if it didn't work, try to add -o force option

Good luck,
