Ok get the latest package from here.

http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/intel/Philippe.Vouters/

which is 

http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/intel/Philippe.Vouters/intel-537EP_secure-2.60.80.1_21_09_2006.tgz

Download it and extract it with
$ tar -zxvf
intel-537EP_secure-2.60.80.1_21_09_2006.tgz
$ cd intel-536EP....

Carefully Read the README files and proceed to install
the modem drivers.  Should you get stuck, send a mail
to me, or discuss at linmodems.org for more help.

You will need to have Development tools installed in
order to compile.  If you ask questions about your
modem to discuss at linmodems.org, you will be asked to
send the output of scanModem which you are able to
find here

http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/scanModem.gz
Download scanModem.gz

# gunzip scanModem.gz
# ./scanModem

send ModemData.txt to discuss at linmodems.org if needed.



Regards,

Antonio
