I will probably be buying a US Robotics Sportster 28.8 internal modem
soon (found it on sale for $150 and got a rain check), and I'm
wondering if anyone has had any problems with this device under Linux?
I ask because USR now advertises that this modem has Plug 'n Play
capability, and I've heard that Linux has problems with some PnP
devices like network cards.  My gut feeling is that it's probably not
a big deal, but has anyone actually used one of the newer USR's with
Linux?
