[techtalk] 1st time adding a modem to linux.

[Harry Hoffman]

Hey Tania,
  Linux stores boot msgs by default. They are usually in
/var/log/messages. I don't want to be a pesimist but you
might just want to return or get a new modem. The
challenge can be fun but if it's an impossible task then
there is no reward.
Regards,
Harry
