In general, I believe that any modem that is "hardware based" or says it has an "onboard DSP" ought to work in linux. I am using a Best Data 56K "Smart One" (Model 56USB-SP / 56USB-SPMAC / 56USBP).

My experience is that it works flawlessly for dial-out, but for dial-in suffers from the same problems as dumb terminals over usb-serial adaptors which we had a lengthy discussion about several months back (search the archives).

You can get a feel for what other models do and don't work by visiting http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdevcat.php?id=14 .

What does such a modem need to work under linux? If it has a Lucent
(Venus) chipset will it work or can there be other difficulties? Can
somebody tell me some vendor who has USB modems working with linux?

TIA,
