I have a feeling that most of the PCI fax cards are really Windows

work. But a lot of homework needs to be done which will support.
Maybe those using Mac computers will do the job.

PCI modems are indeed HAM (host assited modems) which are no longer
supported
in Linux. Some models were supported in 2.4 kernels, but not all
chipsets and not
all kernels. When mine died, I found that I had two that were
supported, but the driver
would not compile with my kernel.
Serial modems are still supported, if you can find one and have a
serial port.
Are USB modems supported?
