Hi James,

I assume Kudzu asked you to remove the drive. No problem, this is only 
some kind of bug in Kudzu. Just install the modem using Internet 
Configuration Wizard in System Tools. You can just use the modem after 
that. By the way, its better not to answer yes to the Kudzu question or 
you'll have to install /dev/modem (I think that's all Kudzu does for you).

Anyway, I'm not sure, but maybe the Internet Configuration Wizard does 
this for, try it.

Have fun.

Guus.
