As an addendum to this, even if the aforementioned web site says
'nay' on your winmodem, you can in some instances get it to work anyway.
My particular modem (ID'd by FCC number) is labeled in red as a
tool-of-Micro$oft winmodem incompatible with Linux, but I'm able to use
the Lucent drivers to connect anyway. I don't know how, but I'm not going
to argue with the thing. =)
