34 The drivers/usb/class/cdc-acm.c drivers works with USB modems and USB ISDN terminal
35 adapters that conform to the Universal Serial Bus Communication Device Class
36 Abstract Control Model (USB CDC ACM) specification.
38 Many modems do, here is a list of those I know of:
40 - 3Com OfficeConnect 56k
41 - 3Com Voice FaxModem Pro
43 - MultiTech MultiModem 56k
48 I know of one ISDN TA that does work with the acm driver:
50 - 3Com USR ISDN Pro TA
52 Some cell phones also connect via USB. I know the following phones work:
56 Unfortunately many modems and most ISDN TAs use proprietary interfaces and
57 thus won't work with this drivers. Check for ACM compliance before buying.
59 To use the modems you need these modules loaded::
62 uhci-hcd.ko ohci-hcd.ko or ehci-hcd.ko
65 After that, the modem[s] should be accessible. You should be able to use
66 minicom, ppp and mgetty with them.
68 2. Verifying that it works
69 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
71 The first step would be to check /sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices, it should look

101 The presence of these three lines (and the Cls= 'comm' and 'data' classes)
102 is important, it means it's an ACM device. The Driver=acm means the acm
103 driver is used for the device. If you see only Cls=ff(vend.) then you're out
104 of luck, you have a device with vendor specific-interface::
106 D: Ver= 1.00 Cls=02(comm.) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs= 2
107 I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=02(comm.) Sub=02 Prot=01 Driver=acm

130 If all this seems to be OK, fire up minicom and set it to talk to the ttyACM
131 device and try typing 'at'. If it responds with 'OK', then everything is
