It's listed as 'controllerless' at
http://www.kcdata.com/~gromitkc/winmodem.html which means it
depends on software, rather than having the proper hardware on the
modem to work.
Hope you can take it back, it won't work without Windoze. If
you need a PCI internal these are recommended:
Multitech MT5634ZPX-PCI, Actiontec PCI56012 (IBM 33L4618 or GVC
MD0223)
USR/Texas Instruments Kermit chipset: the 3Com/USR 3CP5610 family,
which includes models 5613, 5609, and OEM models 2976, 2977, and
3258
The 3com/USR 3CP2977 is about $46, Phoebe makes the same modem
(MDVIT56H) for about $37. Both use the same highly regarded Texas
Instruments chipset.
