As far as I know, Linux doesn't support any of the PCI modems.  They
all are either Winmodems (just a DSP with a driver that does all the
real work in software), or they use chipsets that no documentation has
been released for.  If you want a modem that you can be sure will
work, get an external modem, or an ISA modem that you are sure is
*not* a Winmodem.

Besides that, it would really help to know exactly what you were
trying (what program, what device you were trying to use, etc.).

Works fine here.  :-)  (I've been using Linux for my Internet access
for 5 years now, since before Microsoft discovered the Internet.
Trust me, it'll work.)
