Hi,

I have a E-TECH E56RVP+ external modem that worked fine under RH 9.0. 
However, every now and again I get a kudzu screen: do you want to delete 
this hardware profile? The hardware does not seem to be connected.

And I really have no idea how to check whether the modem is recognized 
by the kernel. I tried dmesg, but I just can't find it.

It's quite annoying, because I need it for my electronic banking 
application (still only works from modem).

A suggestion, anyone?


Guus.
