It does not appear that chip is supported by any Linux driver (at least not yet). It is one of those Windows only chips because the manufacturer hasn't released the specs, and it will probably have to be reverse engineered. Windows only support is the bane of Linux, and anyone of us planning a Linux install needs to research every piece of hardware before we shell out our hard earned cash. The ACM driver "may" work, but I wouldn't spend much time trying to get it to go. The ACM will not work on the Winbond 6692 chip, so it probably won't on the '94 either. Anytime I see "USB" and "modem" together the hair on the back of my neck stands up.
