Heres the data from the paperwork that came with it: ............................................ Stratitec IC56a 56K PCI internal modem Model #IC56a System Requirements: Pentium II, Celeron, Athlon, Duron 233 mhz minimum. Windows 98 or later, Linux 2.4 kernel or later. Manual V1.81 0811505 ...................................................... The distro that's currently on the computer is Ubuntu 7.04. ...................................................... The Linux installation instruction for this modem say go to: www.stratitec.com/ic56a but that's not a working website.
The instructions also say to search the 'net for information on using a Lucent/Agere based modem.
