Eeeeeeep
Software modems do not perform as well as hardware modems for any given speed.
That said, it appears that your beta software is a bit too beta as yet.
PCTel does supply modems of a software nature to OEMs with linux drivers....
Actiontec makes a PCI Hardware modem.
And there is no rule that says your ISA modem can't still be in the box for
linux until you are able to get a version that works.
Best of luck
