We checked that. It's was set to Belgium where we live. When it worked 
on the older machine it was set to Belgium too. We also tried with many 
other countries without any positive result.

We tried it too without success. It was one of the few things, we found 
on the mailing lists.

It was on Mandrake 8.0 instead of Suse 8.0. We used the hsf driver 
available on your website for mandrake 8 with the default kernel.


We are trying with the current version hsfmodem-7.18.00.07. We got the 
driver to work on the old PC with hsfmodem-7.18.00.05. Unfortunatly, we 
dont have the old PC anymore.

The modem works under Windows on the new machine.

Thanks for your help,
