Modem Driver for Mandrake 7.2

[LiquidFX]

I have a PCTel HSP56 Micromodem. I know this is not exactly an ideal modem for Linux but I found the pctel.o driver in the Linmodem site which worked beautifully under Mandrake 7.0. I recently upgraded to Mandrake 7.2 and Caldera 2.4 Desktop (hehe..each HD has its own OS) and the driver will not work with these new distros. According to my dmesg there are 'unresolved symbols' in the driver pctel.o when establishing module dependencies. when I try to connect using Kppp the X server hangs. I really like the new distros and this hsp modem is extremely fast. Has anyone seen an updated driver or is there any way I can update it myself with very limited Linux experience?? BTW can anyone help me decide which is more awesome...Mandrake 7.2 or LNO discussion forums..Thanks in advance.

I don't know how much this is applicable, but the code for PPP changed from 2.2.14 to 2.2.15. The LTwinmodem driver wouldn't work on the more modern kernels. One could either use the old ppp module or change a line in the code for ppp. I don't know if PCtell suffered from the same thing as the LTwinmodem does though. How I got around was to just compile a 2.2.14 driver for my notebook. I use the modem so rarely it was easier to just boot a different kernel when I want to use the modem.
