The prognostication doesn't look too good. However, you might try it
anyway. Is the driver you speak of the one provided by the vendor?
If so, you might try installing it even though others have failed.

Have you tried looking at http://www.linux-usb.org ? If you browse the
devices, there appear to be several USB modems that are functional.
Looks like you have to be using kernel 2.2.18...

According to their website the Zoom modem is an actual controller based modem. The
USR modem is also controller based and even supports DOS (you know that OS that
crashed less then Windows and was easier to fix when something went wrong), so I'm
guessing that they don't require the ltwinmodem sup

I mean...PCI is already overkill for a device that only transfers

Isn't USB for a modem even more overkill?

I believe Jason Costomiris (on this list) is using a USB Zip drive
under RH7, with no problems.

What I'm looking at for a motherboard is the Asus A7V with the Via KT133
chipset. The board has ATA100/66/33 support and AGP Pro 4x support.
Unfortunately it has no ISA slots, but 5 PCI slots. It supports up to 1
GHz AMD Thunderbird in Socket A and up to 7 USB ports. I've already got

Yes, but machines are coming with PCI slots, and not with ISA slots. For
example
Perhaps, though with the dearth of new serial devices coming out,
that one serial port would only be good for a modem, unless he has a
design tablet.

I've never, yet, understood the need for USB or PCI modems...
