>It may be possible to compile a Linux 2.6.x kernel with gcc 2.9.5 - (however I would not bet the farm on it) and then it may be possible to simply port the driver to Linux 2.6.

Someone working on 2.6 drivers claimed they almost got them working but I don't know if they realised the GCC version problem.

I've been trying to get the drivers working on Linux for a while, with 2.6 mainly but also 2.4. Thanks for the info, it'll be very helpful. I'm using Windows at the moment but for some reason, I think it's the Telemann drivers, my connection dies every so often and the only way to fix it is to restart (modem only connection is fine but Ultra is not).

Don't suppose anyone has any info on how to fix the Windows dying problem? I can post more info if you want but it really seems to be a driver problem since it occurs on a fresh install with only the drivers and basically nothing else. It occurs in W2k, Windows XP and W2k3 Server. Basically no data comes in I think. Can't ping, can't anything. It's dies more frequently downloading fast especially if you surf and download at the same time. It also seems to be affected by 'disturbances', in that it'll be going fine if left on for a while but the moment I start doing something (possibly even just logging onto the computer) it dies.
