it is easier to setup a PnP modem in Linux than in Windoze 95 or NT (if you are
lucky)

Sorry about the HTML.
A simple approach is to see if your modem includes setup instructions for
Windows 3.1, if you bought it (not OEM) it should be on the box. I have a USR
Sportster 33.6 Faxmodem and it isn't a winmodem, and since the 33.6 version
isn't either (as in earlier email) chances are it isn't.
So check the doc for Windoze 3.1 or DOS compatibility
then check for jumpers
then the web site
