Yes, stay away from anything that says it was designed for Win95. This
usually implies it is PnP and most likely difficult (if not impossible)
to get running under Linux. Modems designed for Win95 have certain
hardware removed (can't remember what) which is 'emulated' by software
in Windows.
Basically, any hardware which has jumpers and any modems which are not
'designed for Windows 95' are good. Hope this helps - Finals are really
starting to get to me!
Later.
