scanModem to identify linmodem.

The Lucent modem is supported and there is an RPM package. This works, but the modem doesn’t support caller ID.

CPAN install failure

$ cpan
cpan> install Net::Pcap
could not locate your pod2man program

The solution is to remove UTF from LANG:
export LANG=en_US
and
edit /etc/sysconfig/i18 and change LANG to en_US (without the UTF suffix)

cpan> install Net::Pcap
all OK
cpan> exit
