So sorry Mr.Barry.K I didn't go online for a while to reply to your topic:
Have you got a Thinkpad 600, 600E or 770?
(
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=18996 ) but I don't think it would of mattered as I am as GeoffS puts it
but I don't know if I know enough to be able to help
anyway sorry to say it didn't even detect the mwave modem
here is what i could find:
in bootkernel.log
mwave: smapi::smapi_query_DSP_cfg: Worry: DSP IRQ line is 0
mwave: smapi::smapi_query_DSP_cfg: Worry: UART IRQ line is 0
mwave: tp3780i::tp3780I_CalcResources: Error: Illegal resource setting. Aborting.
mwave: mwavedd:mwave_init: Error: Failed to calculate resources
mwave: mwavedd::mwave_init: Error: Failed to initialize
mwave: smapi::smapi_query_DSP_cfg: Worry: DSP IRQ line is 0

----------------
in bootsysinit.log
Starting Mwave modem:
Loading kernel module:failed
-----------------
when i tried modprobe mwave :
FATAL: Error inserting mwave (/lib/modules/2.6.21.5/kernel/drivers/char/mwave/mwave.ko): I/O error

running elspci --list here are the results
