Hi pc-trends,
I am not familiar with the modem but I noticed you mentioned cd rules. Down here, we have broadband 'sticks' which plug into your USB port and away you go. These sticks also double as a thumb drive which contain Windows drivers. The issue with *buntu is that when you plug it in, it sees it as a drive and not a modem. My understanding is that cd rules tells *buntu that it doesn't want the item automounted as a drive but instead to look at it as a peripheral.
Now I've never used cd rules, I worked around the issue by plugging the modem in, waiting for the icon to appear on the desktop, right click the icon and chose eject. Waited for a few seconds and presto, the modem was identified. I believe cd rules may alleviate the need for choosing eject. I apologise if this is wrong, just a blind guess - please take it as such.
Cheers.
