Windows, or the name has HSP or HCF in it it is a winmodem. 


]another annoying penguin question. Anyone any experience with any
]of these modems for compatiability with linux?

]?       Elsa Microlink 56k internal     (i think in may be a winmodem)
]?        ELSA MicroLink 56k USB
]         Elsa Microlink 56k external   (works apparently with linux)

]I have checked the database http://www.o2.net/~gromitkc/20000726a.html
]and www.elsa.de/europe.  My dell came bundled with a Aztec winmodem so I
]need to order a replacement.
