I have a problem getting a modem card running on 3.9 xpostfacto Lombard - is
there a 1.1 driver that will work - how is it installed?

Are you quite sure about that Derek?
I have two PDQs which were running various versions of Panther X.3.4 
through X.3.9 from 2004 to 2006 with following USB peripherals 
connected via PCMCIA card:
  - EPSON SC800 printer connected via USB to parallel converter cable 
(using GIMP drivers)
  - Epson 1660 Scanner
  - Canon iP3000 printer
  - Canon A80 camera
  - SanDisk and Imation USB flash drives
  - 4-port USB hubs
  - 20 GB HDDs installed in generic USB external drive cases
  - a USB multicard converter for various flash memory cards
  - a USB mouse
  - a USB keyboard for PCs whose packaging declared "not compatible 
with Macintosh"

I believe some USB-2 cards require proprietary drivers to work at 
full speed, but if a USB card is OHCI compliant it should provide a 
USB 1.1 connection with no additional software installation.
