Gnome ppp will not find usb modem

[williamh]

I have just installed Linux Mint 8 in my 320gb external drive. The Gnome dialer will only use the usb modem if I run gnome ppp in terminal and plug in the modem just before I connect and it will only use it once.I have run the lsusb command and found the modem (Bus 004 Device 009: ID 0803:3095 Zoom Telephonics )Also every time it finds the modem it gives a differant number /dev/tty acm9, acm10, acm11 etc. I am new to Mint and would like some advice. Does anyone know if Verison MiFi can be made to work in Mint? The demo I had to try wold not hook up.

Might I ask why you are using Linux Mint 8? That is over two years old, and will have (generally speaking) hardware support in its kernel than recent Linux Mint releases.

Can't help with the modem
However MiFi Works on Mint 9 and 10
