Linux 9 is old,try Fedora or Ubuntu or debian ////

They do work but not always...

About pctel modem just see the driver cd came with your board as mostly pctel modem comes with linux drivers . the instructions are also there.

Here is the driver source code link download,compile install..may be before use'checkinstall' package for ease.have gcc alredy installed

In the case of Linux for all new devices to be detected
use the latest version of Linux for your system to work
correctly.
