Re: [PLUG] OS Refund Day

So, it's back to the orignal problem of Windows being *required*.  I 
guess that's bad enough.

Slight change of a worn out topic...  My cell phone requires a driver to 
be used as a modem.  I've heard that the driver only comes with software 
that I would have to buy.  People have commented that the software, 
other than the driver, isn't even needed to connect to an ISP.  I have 
the cable, but it doesn't do me any good.  Very messed up considering we 
also paid for the cell phone!  They must have gone to the M$ school of 
business.  Pay and pay again or else!

Linux tries to use the ACM module with the cell phone, but it fails.   I 
tried recompiling the module, but then it fails to load.  In the second 
case, I know it's a mistake that I'm making.  How do I compile a single 
module?
