Here's the same reply I posted to the other modem thread
Go to this website, use the "find in pages" command on the edit menu and
type in your modem, or just browse the list. this is a table of modems
compatible with Linux. I found out a modem I thought wasn't a winmodem
uses a software controlled rockwell chipset :-(
http://www.o2.net/~gromtitkc/19991007a.html
If that doesn't work, go to the mandrakeuser.org website, click on the
hardware link, then the hardware resources link, then Winmodems
information page link about 3/4 of the way down the page.
Check this out and make sure it'll work under linux before beating your
head against the wall. The homepage for this website gives a really good
explanation why winmodems don't work.
One ruke of thumb- if the modem isn't compatble with DOS- it most likely
won't run under linux
