After a brief search, I could not find the specs on this modem. It may be
a Windows-only modem. Many internals and all PCI internals currently are
Windows-only. These days, if you want to buy a modem to use with Linux
and Windows, you are safer buying an external. Not all internals clearly
indicate that they require Windows. This is a very disturbing trend.
There is (was?) a great site at www.linmodems.org that had a long list of
modems with Linux compatability info, but it is currently unreachable.
