Zoom does, too. At least, the box of my brandy new external Zoom modem
mentioned it worked with Linux. (Of course, it's an external RS-232 modem --
it'll work with a Palm Pilot, for crying out loud -- but that's not the
point.) Unfortunately, I discovered too late that you cannot connect above 33
Kbit/sec if you are behind a DLC, which I am. So much for a modem upgrade
upgrading my speed. :-(

Don't forget: Microsoft defines "portable" to mean "runs on more than one
version of Windows". :-)
