Very likely. BUT, the driver you use must match the running kernel--it is possible you will need to compile to do this--get ready to install kernel-source or kernel-headers. And, if you upgrade your kernel it will break the modem and you will need to compile the driver again. I've gotten lucent chipset modems to work with several kernels, but you know what??? It really isn't worth the bother. Get an external serial modem (not usb!) and save yourself the frustration. If you insist, http://www.linmodems.org Also, the "scanModem tool" (do a Google for it) will identify your chipset and probably tell you what driver you need, if there is a precompiled one for it. Good Luck e
