Unfortunately, yes. locate will list any file with a name (or part of the 
name) that matches. type 'man locate' or 'locate --help' for more on how 
locate works. By the way 'man' will give you help on most programs and 
configuration files on your system.
I think Mandrake has a graphical package manager, see if you can find the acm 
module in there and install it. If not, maybe another Mandrake user on this 
list can help you out with more on making it yourself.

Good for the moment.

When you use the acm.o module to access the NT1, it makes it look like a 
simple AT serial modem attached to /dev/ttyACM0, completely bypassing all the 
ISDN stuff. The ISDN wizard (I believe) is only needed for a custom ISDN PCI 
card. So use the setup for a 'generic' serial modem on /dev/ttyACM0, then 
modify the custom AT commands later.
Note that this will not work until you have the acm module loaded, so you need 
to resolve that first.

Good Luck! :)

P.S. I will be busy for the next couple of days and I will probably not get to 
check my mail very often, so I welcome anyone else to hop in on this 
thread...
