Here are the results of the various commands you asked me to execute.
Unfortunately I don't have lsusb so I couldn't do lsusb -v... I also cannot
access the internet using dial-up, so obviously cannot yum it.
Another problem is that when I go to Add New Software there is an error in
detecting packages and I cannot install any packages at all.
But here are the other results:
for dmesg... there are bits in here that describe me disconnecting and
connecting my USB modem:
USB disconnect, address 3
usb 1-2: USB disconnect, address 4
0:0:0:0: rejecting I/O to dead device
0:0:0:0: rejecting I/O to dead device
0:0:0:0: rejecting I/O to dead device
0:0:0:0: rejecting I/O to dead device
sda : READ CAPACITY failed.
sda : status=0, message=00, host=1, driver=00
sda : sense not available.
0:0:0:0: rejecting I/O to dead device
sda: Write Protect is off
sda: Mode Sense: 00 00 00 00
sda: assuming drive cache: write through
usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 5
usb 1-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
usb 1-1: USB disconnect, address 5
usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 6
usb 1-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
for tail /var/log/messages... shows pretty much the same thing at the end:

and for scanModem, it only detected the internal broken modem; there was no
mention of any USB devices.
I haven't tried slmodem-2.9.11 as I suspect I have no gcc and I cannot
install anything at present.
Cheers,
