[CLUE-Tech] Ricochet Help..

[Michael Robbert]

Lewis,
I am a fairly new Ricochet user, but a long time Linux user. I think that the 
problem has something to do with the 2.6 kernel, but I don't know what yet. I 
have Debian loaded on my home system and the modem works fine as long as I load 
a 2.4 series kernel, but as soon as I try a 2.6 kernel I see nothing.
The module that you need is called acm and if I remember correct it is included 
in the 2.6 kernel, but for some reason it just doesn't work. If anybody else has 
gotten this to work please let us know, but for now see if you can load a 2.4 
kernel.
