As you mention, I didn't implement any dkms thingies. martian-modem comes from ages before dkms even existed. Since this module brings a very specific and old hardware, the userbase of this software is quite limited to a subset of people, moreover, It rests on a very antique tone/pulse modem support. Having that explained, I'm not really keen to the idea of implementing dkms on something I might not be able to test. I still have the hardware, but I lack any possible telephone jack (for real!) where to test it from. Do you own a hardware compatible with this software? In case you do, can you test outgoing dkms' implementations? Cheers, Dererk -- BOFH excuse #183: filesystem not big enough for Jumbo Kernel Patch
