Lucio:
Winmodems are designed to work with Windows only. They do this by using
special drivers that put much of the work on the CPU; this allows them
to be made and sold much more cheaply. Sometimes they can be made to
work under Linux -- go to
www.idir.net/~gromitkc/winmodem.html
to see if your modem will work, and the tricks that will be necessary.
If you are successful, you will still suffer a performance penalty since
your CPU will be doing the work that a REAL modem would do. Since you
just bought the modem, my advice would be to get your money back and buy
a REAL modem that will work with any operating system. The above site
contains a lot of information about making certain that you do get a
REAL modem.
