Hi,

I have a Compaq Presario (17XL series) and can successfully use my modem 
under Windows 2000 (listed as "Compaq Global 56K V90 HCF MiniPCI Modem"). 
But when I try it under my RedHat 8.0 (using the 
hcfpcimodem-0.99lnxtbeta03042700k2.4.18_14-1rh.i686.rpm package). The 
installation works fine, but when I attempt to dial out, I see the following 
in /var/log/messages:

The results from running hcfpciconfig with the diag flag can be found at

I would really appreciate some help, if possible.

Thanks in advance,
Rob.
