It used to work? In Windows 95/98 maybe. The Zoom PCI modem,
as with 99.99% of all PCI modems, is a WinModem. In other words,
the parts are stripped out of it, and the functions are in a
Win95 "driver program" that is proprietary and does not work
in Linux. You need a new modem. It will also improve the
performance under Windows. Trust me, I am an ISP.
