I would add a couple of Caveats to this (marked below)

Hi everybody
Has anybody managed to get USB working under RH 6 or later. I will be
getting an ASDL USB modem which I wish to use with Linux.

My USR Sportster 56K ISA was a piece of cake if you used the jumper.

There are quite a number of internal modems that are not winmodems.
For some reading on winmodems:

Stephen,
Yes that is true. External modem will work on almost any machine. So one that is for
Windows ( not a winmodem) will also work for Linux. In fact it will work for a Mac if
you have the correct cable. Winmodems are the not a good thing, they will take CPU
cycles from the machine. W

Not true any more. All *SERIAL* based externals are non-winmodems.
However, make sure it's a SERIAL based modem, not a USB-based
external.
No, i don't believe that any external windmodems exist. Internal modems are
made by many different companies. NOT ALL INTERNAL MODEMS ARE WINMODEMS. I
think that winmodems are only internal.

No.
(Aside from the fact that Winmodem is a registered trademark of 3Com/USR,
I'll deal with it in the commonly used generic, non-brand-specific
terminology.)
Many internal modems are "hardware" modems (they have firmware).
Many internal modems are "software" modems (there is no firmware).

Not quite. First, although it's often used generically, winmodem is
actually a real name of a ... US Robotics? product. So some "winmodems"
are
