I am using a winmodem with a Lucent chipset on SuSE 7.1, it wasn't easy getting it to work. I would suggest unless you just *have* to use the winmodem to invest in a good external modem. linmodems.org has information as someone else on the list pointed out. Also try www.heby.do/ltmodems and see what he has there for drivers. I am active on the linmodems list, but I don't have any experience with your type of modem. BTW, it isn't MickeySoft who controls the code for these modems, it is the manufacturers themselves. Some, for instance Intel, are sharing code with programers so that drivers can be created.
