Help on Installing Modem Driver

[Stinkfist]

Hi
How would I install a modem driver that I downloaded from the internet?
ok that doesn't help much,
I bought a LINUX compatible modem, and then I downloaded the driver from their website through windows and saved it on a floppy.

The file is Intel-V92ham.tgz
Im able to double click it and open the file from KDE but in GNOME it gives me a message saying it can't read it or something.

Ok so when I open it in KDE, I get a bunch of files and tried clicking them but no installation occurs.

This may sound like a really dumb question, but I'm at a lost here.
Throughout my computer years I've only used windows 95 and ME Operating systems and am slave to windows.

Can anyone help me on this issue?

Thanks

Open a terminal and cd into the directory where the file was saved to.

tar xzvf Intel-V92ham.tgz
cd Intel-V92ham
cat README|less
cat INSTALL|less

Then installation will be something like

./configure
make
su -c"make install"
