Ok...umm... what distro are you using? What's not working? Does Linux detect it? Are you not getting any modem response? Is it not dialing? Does it not connect? Please supply us with a more detailed question so we can help.

# su root
# password: <your root password>
# cd /dev
# rm -f modem
# ln -s input/ttyACM0 modem

If ttyACM0 is not in /dev/input (which it will be with drake 7.2) look in /dev/usb. Note that the "0" on the end of ttyACM0 is a number, not a letter. Point whatever your using to initialise your net connection with at /dev/modem.

Then open /etc/modules.conf and add the following.

alias ppp0 acm

Save that and exit your editor and do the following.

# depmod -ae

After that, start up DrakXServices (http://63.209.80.231/en/doc/72/en/user.html/drakxservices.html) (or whatever you use to turn on/off startup services) and make sure that usb support is being loaded when your system starts.

If you didn't have usb support enabled, and you have just enabled it, do as follows or reboot.

# /etc/rc.d/init.d/usb start

If it still doesn't work, do as follows.

# cat /proc/bus/usb/devices
# cat /proc/bus/usb/drivers

and cut'n'paste what you find here.

Then exit out of root login.

Woops, I just read that as USB, not USR...

Just ignore me.
