ummm as far as I know no winmodems work with linux at all.  Even if it does
recognize it, it can't communicate with it, because it is a WINmodem, it's
designed to run under WINdows...

Winmodems suck anyway.. my friend who has a winmodem that's supposedly 56k,
connects at 26400... I connect higher w/me 33.6 modem, and I connect at
48000 with my 56k internal hardware modem...
