Yup.

That's true even with non-winmodems that aren't a standard brand.  If
you use the Oldsmobuick 1000A modem and are having troubles, the ISP
may suggest you buy a USR or some other known brand instead.  The
problem may have nothing whatsoever to do with your brand name, but
that won't stop the ISP from suggesting that.
