I've got (IIRC) a two year old USR EOM Telepath (from Gateway) which works OK, and a BestData modem which works great when it does. I've got the BestData on an OpenBSD box, and occasionally need to do a cold boot and wave a rubber chicken to get it to recognize reality, but it works OK once up. A jumpered modem or anything labled "Linux compatible" *should* work, though there may be some black magic involved. -- Karsten M.
