I tried my Zoom USB modem on another computer with a Lucid install.
Had to install gnome-ppp.
Pluggin in the modem: dmesg showed it as
[10818.910199] usb 5-2: configuration #1 chosen from 2 choices
[10818.912543] cdc_acm 5-2:1.0: ttyACM0: USB ACM device
then starting gnome-ppp: had to Detect the modem in the setup, and it immediately detected it. But it is NOT listed in the drop-down box. Oddly enough, it is shown as an analog modem, not a USB modem.
Tried to make a few dial-ins: none would work, but the log seems to indicate taht it would have connected if it could. It could not, because I am now on a VOIP phone line, and those numbers are blocked or don't work for technical reasons.
Can't tell whether it worked,but did not see strange messages on lacking permissions and such.
