Just to update the link to the drivers (the one in http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/Tech/Modems does not work any more) :

I take it these (designated "oem") drivers are for Dell only. That would make sence, they cost money.

For real brownie points - consider a modem which uses free-software drivers. hsfmodem is closed-source.

But to totally ace it: use coreboot for bios. This will get Dell an endorsement by FSF and RMS would even start using these products!

Any hope/progress towards a 64-bit edition? Running in full amd64 mode rather than plain IA32 gives me the option of using either when it's faster. (e.g. amd64 for numerical work, IA32 for pointer-heavy work)

Am running Ubuntu 7.10, official stable release. Have Inspiron 1520 notebook, are the modems the same as in the 1420? Have no other option of connecting to Internet! Also, is this the 14.4k free version or a fully fledged 56k one you Dell guys wrote yourself?

Great job in being more actively involved with Linux... though Mace Moneta above makes sense. No winmodems please!

Sorry. I changed the string AT&FW.... and now works very well at 56K. I say again, sorry and thanks very much to Dell.

Sorry, I installed Dell driver and works, but it seems there is the same velocity of Linuxant driver (< 14k) ????

what means free? Thanks.

If this driver had come one year earlier then certainly I should have gone for Inspiron 6400. Anyway good work from Dell people.

Thank you so much for doing this Dell! You've earned some serious brownie points in my book. I used this driver on a Latitude D610 and it worked painlessly. Thanks again!
