Hi Mark
The FAQ is: WinModems do NOT work under Linux.
WinModems off-load some of the functionality to
the CPU and keep the necessary information
to write drivers propriatary.
Practically all PCI modems are WinModems, so
is is almost true that PCI modems do not work
under Linux. There are a couple of exceptions,
I think MultiTech has a PCI modem that isn't
a WinModem.
I hate negativity, but I HATE M$ worse.
