After browsing though over 200 matches for the string "linux winmodem" I'm
sure what the answer to my question will be, but I'll ask it just in case.
There isn't any chance of my being able to get my Compaq 56K-VSC Winmodem

It's called EZ-Drive, and no, Linux doesn't need it. It does,
however, work fine with it. OTOH, if nothing IDE works well, I recommend
an AHA1542 or AHA1520 SCSI controller. For that machine, you don't need
anything faster, and they're cheap.
