I would say it partially worked.

You are right. I am pretty sure that the hsf driver has a bug,which causes
it to try to load wrong the kernel module. Maybe because my kernel version
is too new and is incompatible with the hsf driver.

And there was a time the hsf driver tried to load tty-ldisc-3 module, then
I added "alias tty-ldisc-3 ppp_async" in the file /etc/modules.conf.
It did not complain that it could not find kernel modules anymore.
But the baud rate was still 0, and pppd died.

I tried rp3 included in Redhat7.2, using 460800bps, 115200bps, etc.
And tried to run pppd from commandline like "pppd call isp".

Does the hsf driver work for you ? what linux and which version of
kernel are you running?

Thanks.
