Hello,
you probably know about this but i'll tell you anyway. there is a bug related to pctel modems. a very nice person made drivers for linux of this modems and they can work on linux. the problem is that when the modem finally dials after all the configuration, it puts out a "no carrier" message and disconnects. please handle the problem and if it was already fixed please reply to me and say which kernel i should download.

Thank you, Boris Kimelman.

Ask the very nice person who made the drivers. They contain binary only parts that only they can fix.

PCtel modem drivers are not last time I checked open source. They are also not part of the base kernel. You need to ask whoever made the packages
