regarding this problem) .
I haven't considered option to throw away my modem yet! Any help would be very much appreciated.
Take the desicion of thrashing it as quickly as possible if you like to use your computer in proper health. But, till then, I had the same modem, the depmod error never had any solution, I used it on RH 7.1, and it has worked only on that OS. I have however not tried downgrading my kernel to 2.4.2 and use the driver. RH 7.1 comes with 2.4.2, so you can give that a try provided you like to learn the process of installation of a kernel. Some warnings before you do downgrade and use the modem, the simplest way to use this modem is to use RH7.1 (preferrable PCQLinux 7.1 - since it comes preinstaled with this driver, just run sm56setup and it works). The comp used to hang approx ever 1 hour after using modem. I did never find any solution to the depmod error and every time on booting it used to stop at exactly that problem for approx 30 sec. to irratate me. Even after the proper installation wvdial will never manage to detect the modem, I used Kppp to connect to the net, I used /dev/modem as device.
The site also mention that it works on only RH7.1, so the best deal is to use RH7.1, but if you have any specific use of Rh7.3, then try to downgrade the kernel to 2.4.2 and installation of modem after that. Hoping to get some good news from you.
