I have basically the same modem (Acer/AOpen FM56 ITU or something like that).
Works awesome in Linux, never any problems.
Sometimes in windows I got the _____/^\______/^\_____ effect when downloading,
but that was most likely a Window 98 problem.
My old computer, an IBM Aptiva M50, has an Mwave card in it. The card is a big
huge combo sound & modem. I got that sound to work under linux, but the modem
part runs in software. I got disconnected from the net when I played sound
files with the piece of garbage.
I get downloads upwards of 5kb/sec:

I really suggest it as well. Here in Canada, I've seen it for less than $70.
