Scott,
I ran into a similar problem running Linux Mandrake 8.0 on my Dell Laptop.
I decided to research the available PCMCIA Modems on the market to ensure
that I purchased one that was known to be Linux compatible. I bought a
ZOOM/PC CARD 56K Dual Mode Fax/Modem card, Model 2957, plugged it in, and
just worked like a charm.
I paid approximately $89.00 USD for it, but for me it was worth every
penny. I am now happily free from the clutches of the M$ Empire! I even
did my last presentation slides in Star Office 5.2, and my manager was
none the wiser. Long live the penguin!
I hope you find a modem solution that works for your particular situation.
Mike
